Fun things for a DH to do.....

[brneyegirl24]

I'm planning a trip for my DH, DD (who will be six when we go), and myself to WDW. This will be my fifth trip, my DD's fourth trip, and my DH's first trip. While this trip is mainly going to be geared toward my DD, I was wondering if I could get some suggestions of some things that my DH would like too. I want him to have as good of a time as my DD and I will have. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks!

The Segway tour at Epcot is awesome! Maybe you could put your dd in one of the kids' clubs and then you and your hubby can do it together. It's soooo much fun and you get to go through the world showcase before it opens. Have fun!

One of DH's faves this past fall was Disney Quest. He is a big computer and video game guy, so he loved it! He also liked Innoventions at Epcot- lots of techno-geek stuff there, too.

His other favorite thing was getting some alone time one morning while DD and I went to the GF for DD's Pirate Cruise. He got to sleep in, lounge around the pool, and have a nice leisurely brunch while DD was pillaging and plundering the Seven Seas Lagoon and I was enjoying strolling around the GF area.

Sometimes, the best thing is a bit of space on a vacation- I suggest scheduling half a day where everyone gets to go off and do their own thing. We loved it- and we all enjoyed telling each other all about our fun day doing different stuff!

We're going in a month and my DH's going on the Keys to the Kingdom tour at MK. He wanted to do it last trip but it just didn't work in trying to see everything else. This time he said that was the one thing he really wanted to try and do. He was fascinated on our other trips with all the behind the scenes stuff at Disney.....he was talking to any CM he could just to learn interesting facts!

So while he does the tour, my two DD's and I are going to 1900 Park Fare to eat with Mary Poppins!

What great suggestions! Thanks so much. I know that there will be at least one thing if not more from your suggestions that he would enjoy.

DH likes sitting at ESPN club and watching games. It is at the Boardwalk hotel. (between MGM and EPCOT) They have reasonably priced food as well so maybe you could just plan on eating there some night. Its pretty cool; a tv in every bathroom stall!!

Here's another vote for the Richard Petty Driving School

My DH has done this at WDW and at other locations and he loves it

Speaking for DH's out there, time to oneself is great - whatever that may be, for me it's golfing! Of course he will remember the pure look of joy on DD's face when at the parks forever....I know I will

My husband loved renting a water mice for an hour at the WL. He has always wanted to do that and finally did on our last trip. He had a blast!

You could always check to see what events are happening at the Wide World of Sports!

Last time I looked the kids clubs did not open until 4pm so you might want to check on that if you're considering this...

Does your DH like fishing? I would suggest a fishing excursion and thats something all of you could do together. We did one back in 2000 from the Boardwalk at 7am, and we got to go in the middle of World Showcase Lagoon to fish. It lasts 2 hrs and back then was about $160 (probably more now). I don't fish, but it was very enjoyable!

Thank you all for your suggestions. My DH has really enjoyed hearing about all the things he can do. I really appreciate all the great ideas.
