DH is Mad!

[5starmom]

Hey, I've only been waiting 14 YEARS for this trip...he's just gonna hafta DEAL. LOL!

Just today I walked up to my dh and before I could say anything he told me, "I refuse to speak about Disney for the rest of today!"

Of course, I *was* going to mention a new tidbit I'd gleaned from here so I clamped my mouth shut and huffed off back to the boards. heehee!!

That man is going to thank me later.

Ok, he was better this morning so much so that he finally booked the flight for our September trip for my birthday and MNSSHP! I think the tension came because I needed his sky miles to get a free flight for all of us.

Right after he got the flights I told him I would do the DVC reservations and I already had the Fri/Sat at Pop so we don't use up points.

Now we have a split stay so I am also going to get Beach club if we can.

You would think I would leave well enough alone. No, before he went out the door I asked if he had any restaurants he wanted to try so I could ADR's.

He just rolled his eyes. He is also joining new friends for the monorail drink thing so he should be happy for that.

Well, I am definitely in the minority here ! I am a SAHD, and my DS and I love Disney ! I do work pt, but the rest of the time I am home with DS and DD. And when I am home, I spend "too much time on the boards " according to my lovely DW ! We are going for our 4th trip in Aug. and my DS and I are doing all the planning. My DD does love Disney, but she is a "2nd tier lover of Disney !" My DS is so obsessed that he wants to be an Imagineer (he's 14). And my DW is constantly saying " All you guys talk about is Disney this and Disney that !" She does like Disney (hates to fly and we're from New England), but not like us D guys ! Well, that's just my .02 worth ! Have fun !!

Just wanted to say hi from a fellow gal who has a DH that doesn't quite "get it!" I spent from last April through October obssessing about every detail of our trip, and then telling him about all of it. Poor guy! (Actually, I drove my mom, sis, and aunt nuts, too, since they love Disney too. So, I shared every detail with them, when I should have summarized !)

DH was good about it, though. And, when we went, everything went really well because of all the planning I did. He definitely appreciated it! So, hang in there, girls!

Oh, and I have to add that it's sometimes the DH who drives the DW crazy with the planning. My neghbor is a Disney nut too, and his DW isn't (although he has fully converted at least one of his kids, so that helps!)

 

[DLBDS]

My DH says I'm obsessed too....but only because I DIS so much. I know he doesn't give a rip about Disney so I don't really talk about it with him. The DIS provides my Disney fix. I had to get a new computer and chose a laptop with wireless capabilities so I could at least be in the livingroom with him while I DIS. Now I'm not in another room. But tell me, ladies, how many of you can sit with your husbands during evening hours while they surf between sports, news, MTV, FoodNetwork and the hundred other channels that are available? They see everything and watch nothing. I can't stand it. If there isn't anything to watch on tv in the bedroom, I either DIS or read a really good book. I prefer to read after I've had my shower, everyone's asleep and I can do it in bed though. And he wonders why I DIS so much?! Hey, it's 10:00 on a Wed. morning right now and I'm DISing! But only because my 1st client this morning didn't show up. I have until 11:00 and no one is here to give me the evil eye. I think I've gotten off topic.....

Geee! Guess I am lucky! My husband had never been to disney ever till 5 years ago when me and him went to Cancun and he felt bad as the kids didnt come he told me to book a trip for them... I booked disney ever since, he has been hooked! We have gone the last 4 years and this May will be our 5th year in a row. Disney is the only place HE wants to go now LOL I feel for you all ... I can talk disney till his ears fall off and he still would try to listen to me hehe!

 

[zdad]

OMG!!!! My DH said the same thing to me! And he's serious!
I've been wanting to go to WDW my whole life, (im 24) and finally he said we could go, and so Im super excited, talkin about everything Ive learned from the DIS, and he's so tired of hearing me. But Geeze who else am I gonna tell. Well I do share stuff with my kids, but theyre little, they dont wanna hear about ways were gonna save money. LOL

Im too excited! Cant help it!

Many ways to prove to him he'll love it. Play to the testosterone...
- Think Wildeness Lodge. A very "manly" resort, that really let's you feel like you are a million miles away from the park. Even if you don't stay there, take a boat ride from MK and walk a round a while. Garunteed....he'll love it.

- Let him go fishing on Bay Lake, or rent a boat and cruise around.

- The is the Richard Petty Experience right in the MK parking lot. An hoest to goodness NASCAR track, with the opportunity to ride in or even drive a NASCAR stock car.

It's a great time, and I'm sure he'll end up loving it !!!!!

I am so totally with you all... My DH doesn't mind disney talk... until it comes to planning the trip... then it's "I don't want to hear anything about it" ... then we get there and he's clueless... and why... because you wouldn't let me tell you... so this year I told him that he has 2 choices, 1) I tell you as I am doing stuff or 2) 1 month before the trip I get to start talking his ear off and if i miss something it's his fault if I forget since he wouldn't let me tell him before.. . He went for option 2... and asked that I remember not to schedule him for activities every day... he wants 2 day on 1 day off type thing... so we agreed I'd plan for me and the kids and anyone who wants to stay back w/ him on those days can, and since we are traveling with family the dh's can hang out and do whatever with whatever kids don't want to go.

anyone who needs a Disbuddy to chat with at a moments notice feel free to IM me anytime

 

[chrismom2005]

This was kind of true for my DH as well. He was fine with me doing the planning, since 1, I love it and 2, better me than him (BTW, the same was true of our wedding!). I knew there were a couple of things he would want input on (some favorite restaurants), and of course I needed to discuss the overall budget. When it came time for those decisions, I sat down with him after the kiddies were in bed and went over whatever I needed to talk to him about. He was great about giving me input when he needed to, and he listened (or at least pretended to listen!) when I went into planning-insanity mode.

I was mentioning "The Trip" to my DH yesterday and I said "I can officially talk about it now because we are within the one-year planning window".

His reply? "I'd be alot more interested if I hadn't heard about it daily for the last three years."

Well, I guess that means the plans are officially now mine to make and he is going to have to deal with the resort, restaurants and activities that I plan since he is not interested in giving me any input!

Now, mark my words, at about 3 months out, once all the ADRs have been made, flights booked, reservations made, THEN, he'll have an opinion

My response?

I honestly think he is getting excited, but he won't admit it!

 

[Disneybabe84]

Wow, I'm glad I'm not the only one!!!!

 

[DizzKneeGeek]

Not all men are like that. PrincessFontaine and I talk about WW constantly. And i mean constantly. It comes up in every conversation and that's quite allright with me. In fact, we're deciding when to go next with the newest addition to the family in July. Again, not all DH's are anti-Disney...at least I'm not.

 

[fan_of_small_world]

Oh, we know! We even know some ourselves!

And for the record, my DH isn't anti-Disney. He's just anti-obsessively-planning-the-trip-and-talking-about-it-constantly-to-the-point-of-not-talking-about-anything-else! Anti-all-that, but pretty tolerant of it.

 

[disney kid at heart]

I'm a lucky one too. My DH came home yesterday and caught me watching the Wishes video clip and bawling my eyes out and he just came over and hugged me and finished watching it with me. He knows I get to relive our trip on the dis over and over again. With our health declining we'll never get back, but thanks to the dis boards and all of you, I'll still be there in spirit. Thanks ya'll

We're here for you! (Maybe we're here too much, but we're here !)

Yup, last year I promised, no WDW this year, but alas.... After I picked up my 75% of pre lit christmas tree from target this year, I announced that we did indeed need to head to WDW. I need to shop so that I may have my completed WDW themed Christmas tree in our basement next year, complete with monorail running around it

DH just rolled his eyes. Good thing he loves me.

 

[mike&amy1508]

I think my DF is getting annoyed too. But with all the stress in my life right now, I just tell him "I'm going to my happy place".

 

[tacomaranch]

We are leaving tomorrow for a long drive to Winter Park for snowboarding so we have 8 hours to talk about Disney!

I will not talk about Disney, I will not talk about Disney! I will not talk about Disney!

I promised the same thing, and you can tell by my ticker that I did not keep my promise. I'm really ashamed of myself My DH either really loves me or wanted to shut me up, I can't decide which it is
