How do you keep from getting totally tee'd off at your spouse if they hate WDW?

I wish I had another disney obsessed person in the family! Unfortunately it is just me. I am trying to turn my children into fanatics however as that is my best chance of getting more vacations there! I truly do enjoy most types of vacations but disney is just different and one of my favorite kind of trips. I think my husband was surprised that I was upset with him over his comment and he seems to truly want to make the effort. I think part of our miscommunication comes (too) when I want him to help plan at least a little and he thinks letting me do ALL of the planning is actually giving me what I want! I have actually planned an cancelled several vacations there because of his attitude. I frankly cannot imagine the day when I could go 3x a year! LOL! When both boys are older and can ride stuff we might blitz the place as often as possible however. I hope they still enjoy going when the are teenagers!

In 1999, my mother and I took my dd, then 6, to WDW. My dh was going to go, but said.."Why don't you make it a ladies vacation." We got back and dd just raved about it. So....2001 comes along and dh, dd, and myself go back, with another family. The other dh was sort of grumpy about the whole thing, for the whole trip. My dh hadn't been all that thrilled about the trip, but the other guys 'grumpiness' made my dh seem like a party animal. So, on our last night, while waiting for Spectro, he says to me..."Let's do this again, but just the three of us." Now. Based on that wouldn't you think he would be 'into' the upcoming trip in Aug?? Everytime I tell him what's planned, you can almost see the eyes roll back in his head!! He tells me I need a life, that I'm on these boards waaaay to much!! But, and this is a big but, I have actually seen him pick up one of the many travel books on WDW I leave lying around. He starts reading it and if he sees me come into the room, he'll quickly put it down!!! I finallly just stopped talking about it to him and satisfied my fanaticism by talking about the trip with now 9 y/o dd! I think he is starting to get into the whole trip thing though. But he has told me that this is the last trip he's making to WDW! He wants to start seeing other parts of the country. So next year we'll be driving across the country. And then probably getting a divorce!!! Can't imagine being in the car with the grump for all that time, but we'll see. Hang in there. Sounds like your talk may have helped the situation.
