Convincing DH He's Still Young at Heart!

[KarenC]

We're WDW veterans--been there so many times I've lost count. We're new empty nesters--our baby is a freshman in college this year. My DH turns 50 in October and I'm thinking a trip to WDW is just the thing to celebate this milestone (he doesn't want a surprise party).

DH is an avid golfer. I'm thinking of doing a premium package for the first half of his birthday week and then going to a basic plus dining package and having the kids join us for the end of the week. Before the kids got there he could golf and take lessons.We have two kids in college and our oldest is getting married next year so I can't go all out.

We love the GF and WL. Our primary reason for staying in the deluxe resorts was the availability of a day bed or bunk beds. (DS and DD did NOT want to share a bed on vacation.) That's not such a concern now--I'd be willing to get a second room at a moderate if we needed to.

We've celebrated lots of kids' b-days with Mickey but no adult birthdays. Looking for hints. Please share your ideas!

Id get him a pin maybe even some new ears to wear on his birthday. I think what your doing is amazing, enjoying your family at every stage! Have a wonderfull trip and a carefree wedding! Nettii

If it were me, I would give him a small "little kid" b-day party--Balloons, Party Hats, his fave character theme (like maybe Buzz Lightyear), some Party Bags w/ cheap toys. I would give him some kind of Toy for his B-day (maybe a Mr. Potato Head). And I would put 5 candles on the cake. Nothing big or extravagant. Just the kind of stuff you would do for a 5 y/o who get to invite a couple of neighborhood friends. Go to Toys R Us or Walmart and go down the B-day Party aisle. You will get some cute ideas there.
