Has disney ever...

[helloirishkitty]

had a serious impact/damper on a Romantic relationship for you?

My dbf seriously believes that I have a problem. I just thought it was a hobby

boys stop loving WDW at around 14 and don't start liking it again until they are in college or have kids of their own.

or at least that is what I have noticed.

now some guys never stopped loving WDW - my brother for one. but his son definitely did. (and boy that probably hurt my brother more than anyone else)

Get him to go with you once to WDW. If he still doesn't like. then realize that your trips to WDW would go down alot... if he is worth it - not a problem. Now if he start trying to tell you what friends to have, where else to go, what to do with your free time.

RUN don't walk - nothing in life is worth being an object for - nothing.

My Disney Fascination has never dampered or hurt my relationship. My husband thought I was slightly looney, but he indulges in this passion of mine. He never really felt what I feel for Disney until we went on our magical honeymoon last year. Now he loves watching Disney movies and looking through disney stores. He is still not a fanatic like I am, but he understands, and thinks it's cute.

I'm sure that you don't have a problem. The person you are with simply doesn't accept your quirkiness. Would he think you were crazy if you were a scrapbook fanatic? Same concept, or would you think he was crazy if he watched every single football game and knew every player and their wives. LOL.

Whomever you are with, should love you and all of the extras that come with, like a Disney Fasnication! Good luck

My BF and I are taking a trip in September. He hasn't gone since he was a very young boy and only remembers being scared on POTC. I love WDW and will be so disappointed if he doesn't enjoy it like I do. Although it is becoming so expensive that I won't have to worry about future trips.....
It won't be a deal breaker...hopefully...haha

Me and my DBF are going to WDW next April, for me it will be my fourth time and for my BF it'll be his first, I'm preying he'll enjoy it! He seems quite stunned by all my hype at the moment, as I'm rather excited and talk about different things most days I don't know how crazy I'll have drove him by the time our holiday is even closer!!

I sometimes feel awful, as I'm going on about things I remember from my childhood trips and he just doesn't seem interested, but then I remember he's never been and wouldn't understand. I don't think it bothers him too much that I have a slight Disney obsession, he tells me he wants me to talk about it at times, I think he likes seeing the excitement on my face when I talk about my memories! Which is great, and like I said above, I hope and prey he enjoys WDW as much as I do once we arrive, and I know he'll treat me like a Princess for the whole two weeks, he's made me feel like that anyway, just by booking the trip with me and making my dream come true to go back to the place I love so much, I truely cannot thank him enough for wanting to join me!! He's amazing!!

my boyfriend thinks disney is lame, but he humors me and comes with me. it helped that he absolutely loved the soup at boma. i don't think i could leave him or that he would leave me over disney though. he's obsessed with hockey, so we keep each others obsessions in check.

 

[StarDrifter]

my DH has never been to disneyworld, so he doesnt understand my obsession. Im working on getting him ot go ateast once. He does make fun of me sometimes, but he has things he is equally (scary!) obsessed with! He says he doesnt want to go to DW, but in super loving moments he has said he will go with me because he loves me. Hehehe... just understand that for guys who have never been or only went as a child dont understand the magic of it all. Its only fair for him to go once just so he can see what its like.

I am now getting a divorce and Disney is always thrown in my face by my soon to be ex. He will probably even have something in our papers about it Disney was a BIG issue for us. Oh well.....I will be there once again this Thanksgiving.

 

[athenna]

I lucked out....My BF thought my obsession was crazy....He spent 9 days in WDW with me (his 1st ever trip) this past October and he is now converted and he can't wait to go again

Well there wasn't anything in the papers, but my soon to be ex told me the same thing.

That is DH and I exactly. He even goes through disney withdrawls now

 

[Dizmom0923]

Whats crazy is my husband was always included.....He never once showed any desire to go..I just don't get it How can you not like something that makes people feel so happy?

 

[hmp2z]

My husband was a huge WDW fan when he met me, and I'd never been. I wasn't looking forward to the trip - thought it would be too Mickey Mouse - but he showed me the adult side of WDW, and I enjoyed it a lot. I used to LOVE to go to WDW before we moved down to Orlando.

Cheers!

Let's put it this way...

I had what I would consider to be 4 "serious" relationships from high school to college.

I went to WDW with #1...he enjoyed it, but got motion sickness on the bigger rides, in the car on the way there, and in the car on the way back. Oh, and actually puked on my shoes on Body Wars.

I took #2 to WDW...he was terrified of BTMRR and wouldn't even ride on SM. Actually turned green when I took him to ToT and refused to ride.

#3 enjoyed the rides, but really didn't get the whole Disney magic. I could never get him to go back after 1 trip to the MK. Turns out he was a colossal waste of my time for so many many reasons.

#4 - Loved all rides, at all the parks, insisted that we stay overnight in the resorts, none of this day trip stuff. Happy to visit WDW, US and IOA and BG several times per year.

Needless to say, I married #4, and at Disney!

It's not an issue for my hub and I.....it's becoming a problem in our house though! We started by having a Mickey bathroom and now every room in the house is some sort of disney or another. It's not tacky though-I swear!

On the other hand, I had an ex who got crazy when I would want to go anywhere-even if he was invited. The guy had soooo many issues though.

 

[yearbook50]

My fiance thought I was a bit crazy too but he just got home from his first trip and he greatly enjoyed it and he feel in love with Stitch (the character not the ride) as much as I am too!

Other people I dated just thought I was strange but meh, whatever.

My husband, and now 18 year old son, do not like WDW. Non-DH thinks it's over-priced, congested, has too many screaming children, lousy food- you get the picture! While I've been there 14 times, my husband refuses to go. Last year, we took a last minute trip, & he was miserable the entire time. He was devising this evil, hypothetical plan for a giant rat trap to catch Mickey! So this year, by mutual agreement, he's staying home. Fine by me! My son thinks he's too cool for WDW, although he sure did enjoy the pretty Brazilian tourists last year! Some guys get it, some don't. This time around, in December, it's going to be an all hen affair. So if the hubby or bf doesn't like it, they can stay home! I'd love to take a Disney Cruise, but not with the husband. No telling what the grouch would do with Mickey at sea!

My DH likes to go but won't ride hardly any of the rides when we are there. He hates flying too and we live in Oklahoma.So...... I leave him at home most of the time and take my mother to help out with the girls (age 7 & 9). She never went before the grandkids came along and loves it. Hubby doesn't really mind it, he gets the house all to himself for a week and gets to be King of his castle for awhile.

 

[savannahjean85]

my dbf and I have dated since we were 15 we are actually just going for the first time (together) in Nov. as our 7 year anniversary. I have gone a few times with my friends but always wanted to go with him. So I was pleasantly suprised when out of the blue he suggested going in Nov. He has always been humored (good humor thinking it was cute) by me loving DW so much. Whenever there is something on TV about DW he was comes find me and let me know. He is an awesome guy!

I have written many time on the Disboards that I am looking for a woman who shares my love of Disney, especially visiting WDW. I have even gone as far as writing that into my profile on a couple of Internet dating sites. And when I have winked or sent an ice breaker, I have been turned down by a few women who sent me an e-mail saying that they didn't think we would make a good Match since they couldn't imagine visiting WDW more then once every 3-4 years.

Another time I had a woman spend a few days with me at OKW, my home resort in the DVC system. And after an enjoyable vacation, she told me while we were on the plane back to CT that I shouldn't expect to visit WDW every year once we were living together...well we broke up a few weeks later.

So yes, my love of Disney has caused a few problems with some of my dating relationships. But I will not give up hope of finding a Disney . I almost found her....
