DH says no WDW, wants caribbean

[czycropper]

We the Caribbean over WDW (no flaming please - I have been going to WDW since the 70s and we leave in 25 days to spend a week there). But we're very big "beach" oriented people, so give us beach & sun and we're in heaven

I've never been to Turks & Caicos but I have sailed most of the Caribbean and there is nothing like it. Tortolla is another option that is wonderful. You can also go to Culebra, PR if you like unspoiled beaches and great snorkeling & diving. We just got back from PR, St. Thomas & Tortolla, not on a cruise but just island hopping. We're not much cruise people because we love to just go to a beach for the day, snorkel, swim at our time instead of having to be back on the boat at a specific time

BTW, we're also going to the Jersey Shore in August as we do every August and it's also pretty nice. We go to Barnegat Light, Long Beach Island and my DDs love because of the bogey boarding. But they love the Caribbean for the snorkeling and the crystal blue waters

We stayed at Beaches Sandy Bay (in Negril Jamaica--but not Beaches Negril) and LOVED it. We had a 2 year old at the time and the small, quieter resort was great. we kep ther with us most of the time, and just swam, played in the sand, etc. But it was ncie to drop her off at the kids club. She oculd get a break from the heat and I could aactually rest & relax (not having to keep an eye on the kiddo). It was the most relaxing vacation ever. We only left the resort once for a few hours.

Beaches Negril would be cool for a little bit older child (water park like stuff going on) and Beaches Turks & Caicos looks even better, but was more expensive I think. Turks & Caicos is on my wish list, if we ever take a break from Disney.

If some of you really want to go to Disney & DH really wants a beach vacation why not do a few days at WDW and a few on the Gulf coast?
