Certainly there are different personalities - some don't like crowds, some don't like the heat (pick me, pick me) - ANY trip, no matter where is only a good time if you WANT it to be a good time....(unless there is some type of major vacation mal-function). But I love WDW - and it's about the only place that DH is willing to go....but I have seen "unhappy" people....
Some here on the boards will say poor WDW trips are maybe due to poor planning...but I think there's also such a thing as OVER planning too - last year at CBR I saw a younger mom on the verge of tear when she was going over her list of "to-do's". I think she had such a schedule made up that it would have been almost impossible - and then set up expectations that of course caused disappointment when they aren't met - instead of "going with the flow" and "rolling with the punches" - and as they sat in the lounge chairs next to me, I noticed she kept looking at her watch - then announced to her DH - "It's now 7:25...according to today's schedule, the kids have to come out of the pool at 7:30." Poor kids were having a BLAST.....
We plan some, but if something takes a little longer or we run into something that we hadn't planned and would like to watch for a few minutes, we do it...(and of course, not getting everything done that we planned to do is MY excuse for having to go back...)
