Anyone have a spouse who's definitely NOT a fan of Disney?

[Minniesgal]

I do but he happily goes to WDW with me. Likes the resorts and the restaurants might play golf. As long as we do some other stuff he is happy

So I have seen this a lot. What is a DH, DGD, DHIIR and all of that sort of stuff?

The first D stands for Dear, in my brain. DH is Dear Husband, DD is Dear Daughter, DGD is Dear Granddaughter, etc. (To some, the D stands for Disney, but it’s used all over social media, not just on Disney forums, so I think of it as Dear.)

I’m not sure about the DHIIR - DVC does have a DHHIR, Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort.

That's it! Actually, I think I first saw it referred to as DHHIR on Facebook.

I’ve been going to Disney solo since 2007. My spouse hates theme parks and will only go if the grandkids are along. I

I always thought the first D stands for Disney.

On this forum, for many people, it does. But it appears on social media generally, not just on Disney sites, so for me it means Dear - when it appears before a person's relationship, as in DH for Dear Husband or DD for Dear Daughter. For acronyms like DHHIR, DVC, etc., it does stand for Disney, of course.

Yeah, to go along with the theme of this thread, my spouse and kids are definitely NOT Disney spouse or kids!

My DH went many times to WDW and DL when our son was young. He says he's "done his time at Disney", although we did take a WDW trip last year (first time in over 10 years). HE ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT STEP FOOT IN DL! Hates it.
However, thats my happy place and I go 3-4 times a year as I have a MK.
I just tell him that the Avengers have called me to help on a mission

He is retiring in a couple of weeks and is already planning trips to go see rockets being launched...as he just bought a new Mustang Mach-E and cant wait to drive all around the country. I cant travel by car so I may fly to meet him somewhere, if it is a place I want to go. When you have been married 38 years, you dont mind time apart

I do most of my DL trips solo...eat when I want, rest when I want, you get the idea.
I thought initially that I wouldnt renew my key this year but now that PTN is coming back, I'm in!

I am a new member and my husband does not really like Disney. He doesn’t dislike it but doesn’t want to go as much as me and therefore I am usually a solo traveller.

I want to do the DCL transatlantic cruise soooo bad and the wife is not interested one bit.
Good value, and we don't see that much with Disney.
Thinking maybe hook up on a Facebook with fans in a similar situation.

MDA... My Disney Addiction... I have been on 35+ trips (guessing but close) and DH has NOT. He finds it repetitive; he clearly doesn't feel the magic. DD31 and I try to go together once a year, and I do a solo in November (this year will be #4). I find 3-4 days is good for me, solo, so I fly in on Day 1 and home on Day 5 or 6. I have been to Disney frequently enough that three days there, with a 2 or 3 day park hopper, is enough, and helps keep the budget trimmed (along with staying at Value resorts, juggling credit cards for air miles and Disney points, buying discounted Disney gift cards, etc). DH had a friend in Cocoa who eventually ended up with COPD so before he died, we went down annually to visit him. This has morphed into a January vacation where we spend several nights in NOLA visiting with my sister/BIL and then over to Disney where we spend our money on deluxe hotels, justified by no park tickets, just a relaxing vacation in the area. We do Disney restaurants, Disney lounges/bars, visit the area and friends, but no theme parks. I am interested in seeing how our May trip goes. We are taking DD/SIL and the 7yo step-grandson. I am hoping DH recaptures some of the magic, traveling with a little kid again.
