Well after your DH falls in love with Disney next June, maybe he'll be begging to do an adults only trip!! When we first started going as a family I NEVER thought Steve would love it (almost) as much as I do, and I really never thought he'd want to keep doing adults only trips there.
And yes that heat is a killer! It zaps your energy even before you've done much of anything
But if I tell myself I'm walking towards relief like to a restaurant or indoor ride, my legs will keep going lol. Standing still is like death though! Couldn't do it in Georgia either 
I think that is totally awesome that your DS wants to visit historical places! I love doing that; loved doing it as a kid so my family did it a lot. And before Steve and I had kids we also did it - touring the mansions in Newport, RI is a favorite as well as smaller towns like Salem, Mass., and St. Augustine Fl. are adorable and filled with history. I also like to walk through really old graveyards......I hear you. Alex (my hubby) and I plan to take a WDW trip just the two of us once our son is grown. We plan to do a lot of travelling at that point actually (fingers crossed), but WDW is at the top of the list. We've had so much fun the few times we've sneaked off to Disneyland by ourselves.
For the next several years though, it's all about family vacations (with a few adult-only weekend trips thrown in). Disney World this year, and then Philadelphia (of all places!) in 2017. My little guy has asked to visit the historical sites there including a side trip to Gettysburg and a tour of Eastern State Penitentiary (we're weird and we like visiting reportedly haunted places!). He also has New Orleans on his bucket list and wants to visit the Myrtles Plantation...for the ghosts of course.
But nothing will ever top WDW for me. Wish we could visit every year.
and every place Steve and I go/went that has ghost tours we've taken them.-Savanah, Ga., Salem (of course), Plymouth, Mass. The one in Plymouth had a stop at an old penitentiary but you don't actually go in. Oh! And years ago my mom took my sister and I to Andersonville, Ga., it's a big, huge cemetery on the battleground from the Civil War. So your sons wish list sounds fantastic to me 
Family trips are wonderful and that's all we did when the boys were younger, often taking all 4 boys. And we still do! After Chris was born we didn't go away ourselves until March of last year when he was 9! We did 3 nights in Disney and it was hard to be away but um......we had fun
I totally get you on doing family trips until DS is older, it's tough when they're younger to go more than a night or 2. But sneaking off to DL by yourselves sounds like a great once in awhile thing to do! One of these days I'll get back out there..........
. So we take him every now and then 
.
Just kidding! But seriously, how exciting! And to have it be an adults only trip! And at the Wilderness Lodge! Just better and better. So now this is kind of a double PTR. 
UGH! I'm sure it's a stupid momentary glitch but it's happening while I'm trying to do stuff so it needs to stop asap!
so I told Steve she was giving me agita and I had to talk to her; anyone see where this is going yet? 
And I admit it, it's been killing me waiting until November. So this morning after we booked our flights I booked POP and I was fine with that. We stayed 3 nights in a LM room 2 years ago and while it wasn't our favorite and we don't really feel any need to go value again, it certainly wasn't terrible and didn't ruin our trip. So about 3 minutes after I booked POP Steve asks if they have a bar.......and says he thinks he'd like Queen beds like usual......again, who am I to argue? I was so surprised when he said to book WL instead because I've tried getting him to stay there a couple times and he says he just doesn't like the look of it 
He checked it out again and as soon as he saw the Territory Lounge he was A-OK! I'm absolutely thrilled! Another new-to-us resort we get to try and cross off my wish list!
all day lol, reading the WL resort thread trying to familiarize myself with the resort because I really know nothing about it. I'll be back soon with more plan details!
And I bought 4 of those little misting fans which we never ended up using (didn't use the Frog Toggs either down there(. I did not look pretty down there but we returned last Aug. and now this Aug., so yup, the draw of Disney wins over the soaking wet sweaty nasty feeling of Florida in the summer months!
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy they go but camp started the week after school ended and hasn't stopped. I just want to sleep in a bit on a Monday morning! 
But it's not so bad when your next trip is 3 months later
