Childfree (by choice) Disney Lovers!

[zima-cheryl]

Now I will need to overcome my "fear" of being the only childless couple at a character meal...maybe on my next trip.

We do that all the time! My fav. is Crystal Palace. I don't care if you are 4 or 41 it is just a lot of fun. The handlers & characters are great! I've never been passed by or schluffed (sp?) off, they give us just as much lovin' as the kids.
I wonder if they don't like 5 minutes with a couple adults? No sticky fingers, crying, pulling, crazy parents w/cameras, etc. That has got to be a tough gig!

I'm here!!!

DH and I are also childfree by choice and we LOVE Disney!!!

We have been to WDW 8 times now and cannot wait to go back again! We have no future trips planned at this time, yet!!! LOL!!! You never know with the specials that Disney throws out there, we could always book a last minute trip somewhere down the line!!

I agree with Madd, Disney is VERY romantic without kids!! DH & I especially love EPCOT!!! World Showcase is the epitomy of romantic at WDW, JMO!

Anyone have plans to visit Disney this year?!

my DH and I are also going childfree and friend free in sept. can't wait just the 2 of us we look forward to things not done before and the romance. we are hitting up the nightlife and dancehall on boardwalk and cirque du soleil.which is something we never done before. see ya in sept.

So true! Me and my partner will never have children (she has been fixed so we couldn't anyways) We go to a Character Buffet almost every trip. Next time it will be 1900 Park Fare. We love the interaction with the characters, and they do seem to enjoy the adult tables. Go for it!

(A message from the DH an his wifes DIS account)

In 5 days we return 'Home' and we couldnt be more excited!!!! We have no children and are Disney Freaks!!!! I have to admit I was alot like one of the previous poster relatives before my first time to WDW. My wife wanted to go and I kept saying "What in the hell is there for US to do there? I cant see spending 5 days there".......admitedly all I could ;picture when thinking of WDW was MK. Im SO happy to say I WAS WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have since made my sister and BIL into Disney-philes, and we are going with another couple for their first time in 5 days. The best part is they are leaving their 4 kids at home when they go with us.....
THey jokingly told their kids "they have alot of gang trouble at Disney and they want to make sure its safe before they all go down........"

Its Mickeys world......we just play in it!!!!!!!!

DH and I always do character meals and have a blast!

 

[maddhatir]

DH and I have been doin' the childfree Disney thing now since the late 80s early 90s.

I do not give it a 2nd thought when I am in the parks or dining anywhere that people might be looking at us strangely b/c we have no kids.

I can HONESTLY say the only thought I DO have is that they might be looking at us with ENVY!!!

Trust me you will love it. We have done character dinning with our other childfree friend couple and we have a blast. Last time we went to Magic Kingdom we even got in line to get our pictures taken with Mickey and Minnie and the Princesses. We will have those memories with us forever and there wasn't one kid with us lol

LOL! Yeah that is great! We don't give it any thought either. Having way too much fun to care what others think honestly.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Spring so far. We are at 95 degrees right now and I am dreaming of beach time! lol

We are having someone come over to house tonight to give us estimate on remodeling our kitchen and I really hope they don't laugh at our small outdated kitchen. And our small budget hahahaha. I don't think it is too much to want it to look like something from Wilderness Lodge, do you??

OMG- I forgot we get our pics take with characters too. Again- paying no mind to anyone else, even when we are riding It's a Small World, Peter Pan........I feel SO at home at Disney. I feel the whole place is all mine anyway. LOL

I hate the heat- bring back the snow! Sorry.

I am sure no one will laugh at your small kitchen. We have a small house too- heck there are only 2 of us- we do not need a McMansion! I like cozy I tell everyone my small house has "character" so there.

Do you have pics to show them your ideas?

Ahaha you are a hoot! We feel the same way about Disney.

Yeah I understand. Some of us like it hot some like it cold. I use to like it cold but Lyme disease has destroyed my thyroid and I get cold very easily right now. I am sure once I get back into treatment everything will reset itself. At least I am hoping haha

Yeah we have smaller house too. Bout 1200sf and I wouldn't mind being in something smaller. Weird huh? I would never want a McMansion. Too much cost involved in upkeep and I could never clean something like that. Heck I have hard time keeping up with this small house.

I do have pics to show them. But they are of Wilderness Lodge. I like rustic, mission style. Even like modern. Maybe I can get a Modern Mission kitchen. Hmmm that kinda rhymes hehe. I just don't want foofoo. I like strong manly looking things. Wood, leather, stone. I probably am a strange gal. lol.

 

[franandaj]

We'll be in WDW next week I hope it's not 95 then! It's 95 here now and it's icky. Add humidity and yuck!

We're going for the Destination D event. I hope a lot of folks didn't pop $175 a piece for their kids to get ancy during full day presentations. I can't wait! The last one was fun and entertaining, I'm sure this one will not disappoint!

It probably will be in upper 80s close to 90 next week. Hope that there aren't too many kids at this event. But wouldn't be surprised. Have a great time!

Only because I love ya will I not touch that one...and you never told me about the possible kitchen remodel. Heard it on the DIS first..LOL...its always either DIS or Facebook.

So while I enjoy my childfree life...my own body clock is kicking again...and I am getting baby fever....seeing pics of my new niece have not helped this...we are still not sure if we will have kids or not..

Well those temps don't sound too bad. I went to the DLR one last fall, and I couldn't belive some people. I spoke with a woman in the back of the room one afternoon. She had two kids in a stroller. She said to me, "If I had any idea what this event was about, I would have let my husband attend and gone to the parks with the kids."

For the WDW event the schedule was released when the tickets went on sale, so hopefully everyone going realizes that this is more of a "seminar" than an interactive thrill experience. I hope it is as awesome as the last one, and I can't wait for it to start!
