how to convince my boyyfriend to go to wdw

[Kelly'sLove]

how can I convince my boyfriend to go back to WDW. We there on our last vacation in Dec 2001. His idea of a vacation would be to go to Cancun or someplace like that. I go with him to tattoo conventions about 4 times a year that he works which he likes to do and I find them to be so so. Would it be selfish of me to make him go back to WDW. What do you think

Absolutely not - and if he won't go then go solo and set your own agenda!!! Did he have a good time last time? Does he need a reminder...???

Maybe some Disney therapy...

Good Luck

DH now Disney addict lucky to have DW who understands my addiction and a DS that loves to share Daddy's addiction

thanks

I think you both should go to WDW. It's not at all selfish for you to suggest going back this year. I mean he should keep in mind that you accompany him to his tattoo conventions. Would it be so terrible for him to do something you want to do? And besides, WDW is the happiest place on eart. I can't imagine that he had a bad time the last occasion you guys went.

I also took my then boyfriend to WDW in March 2001, for his first trip to WDW (it was like my 5th time). And he LOVED it! Since that time, we have gotten married and have a daughter that we are taking to WDW in about 3-4 weeks!!! Disney is a magical place.

You can probably convince him by spicing up your trip. Do something you guys didn't do last time. Also try looking at giftsofalifetime.com, do something special for him so he'll appreciate the trip even more, and see that it's not all about you. It's about being together! Good luck!

If he won't go, dump him

Seriously, I'm just guessing that your boyfriend isn't fully aware of the magnitude of "adult" activities availble at WDW yet. He certainly hasn't caught "the fever." I had the same problem with my wife when we first met. I started by telling her I was going with or without her (nicely). That caught her attention, because she knew it had to interest me heavily.

I'd get him a book or two for adults in Disney. Educate him about Epcot, which is far from the "kids park" many newbies think of MK. And get him some literature and other reading material on DTD and PI. In other words, show him that his needs can be met at Disney in fine style. If he goes to Cancun, does he like the sun? They've got it. Does he like nightlife? PI's got it, and PI isn't the only game in town. Does he like nice hotels? They've got them.

I haven't taken an adult to Epcot yet that wasn't shocked at what's there. And you might want to research Universal, which can be a good addition for those that like a 'younger' brand of excitement.

Hope that all helps!

Don't take him if he doesn't go willingly. It will only make you unhappy in the end. And you'll probably kick yourself for spending "all that money" on a so-so vacation. Go with a good friend or family member instead.

My DH likes WDW but really does not like amusement parks. We have been to Hershey Park with him twice. He complained about the heat, the lines and the expense. Then he made us all leave the park after just a few hours because he'd had enough! Now we just go without him.

And even though he drags me to the Jersey Shore (which I hate) every year for a "family" vacation, he can't seem to put his dislike of amusement parks aside for one day so the rest of us can enjoy it. I love him dearly but sometimes you've just got to do things apart from each other.

Why don't you try looking into a Land/Sea vacation with Disney Cruise Line? It sounds like your bf wants to do the beach/warm water scene, and the DCL sounds like a good compromise. He'll get his beach, and you'll get your Disney!

Best of luck to you!
