Is this odd?

[Sue1016]

I am 24 years old and going to disney world with my parents.... is that odd? my friends are teachers and can't go the same time frame as me. My siblings (hate to say this on here) don't care for disney and me and parents love it. Is this odd? Still waiting for prince charming (any single men out there 24-30? )

Sorry not a single man lol , but I have to admit I was wondering the same thing, because Im 25 and going with my parents alone in October...but I guess there may be people to meet up with or something?!? When are you going?

LOL not weird at all. I'm 26 and go with my mom and brother every year. We have a lot of fun.. and I see lots of older people who go with their parents.

Nothing strange about that at all. I think there's something special about the transition that takes place in the relationship with parents. I enjoyed knowing I could relate to mine as an adult and enjoy their company that way, especially on vacation. They used to be group trip organizers, so I travelled with them quite a bit over the years, mostly as a youth though. One place we never visited as a family was WDW. So when I discovered WDW for myself as an adult, I brought THEM to WDW! They loved it so much, they returned on their own together a year later.

It's a gift to be able to spend time with your family. I hope you can cherish the time you have together.

I wish I had gone to Disney with my parents when I was 24. I thought I was too busy with school, and I was, but I still wish I had gone.

I wish I could go with my parents now, but I have lost them both.

Have a magical trip--all three of you.

This isn't our first trip to disney, we went back in 2006 for my graduation.

I am going 3rd week in May. I am paying for half of my mom's trip, since she doesn't work.... or to be nice to my dad, I say a quarter of mom's trip and quarter of dad's trip.

1st time we are doing the disney dining plan. I read so much on these boards that helped soo much.

I am 38 and would LOVE to go with my parents to WDW ....they just don't go there (they are not really Disney people like I am!!)

 

[dvc at last !]

Just go and enjoy !

Be happy you have your parents and a great relationship !

I am 34 and just went in February with my kids and my parents. We have gone every year together since I am 3 and I am sure we have many more trips together. I don't think its odd at all. Enjoy your time with them.

Cherish the time. I went to WDW with my Dad for many years until he passed away. What I wouldn't give to go with him again...

Cherish it always!!!

My parents are two of my best friends and I went with them alone to Disney World when I was 28 (and still single), so you've got a few good years left!!

I went with just my dad when I was 24 - we had a great time! (My mom, my now husband (then boyfriend) and my brothers stayed home. I don't think it's weird at all!

I take my mom a lot, matter of fact, Mother's Day weekend is our next trip, with one of my sisters. She enjoys it, and I cherish the time with her as she has some minor issues, but after having fought Breast Cancer, it means even more.

When I don't plan to meet up with friends and I don't want to go alone, or there is something new.. "Hey mom, wanna go to Disney?" I don't think I have ever gotten a no.

I went in December with my parents. I'm 29 and an only child. My friends are either poor or not as into disney=D I had a great time with them.

When you're in your teens, hanging out with your parents is darn right embarrassing and you wouldn't want to be seen anywhere near them! Once you're in your 20's you mature and realize that such is not the case. Enjoy!

32 yrs old here ... and I have no problem at all going to WDW with my parents. They have an RV, and it's great staying at Ft Wilderness with them. I typically fly down and meet them there.

As Buena Vista said, It's very cool transitioning from going as a kid, to visiting WDW as an adult with your parents. I've had a ton of trips to WDW as a kid, but I think I enjoy it way more with the parents as an adult (especially of drinking age). It's such a better dynamic travelling more as peers, than being lugged around as a kid. I even hit the Adventurer's Club with my Dad on their last Halloween. We both went in costume in what will probably be one of my favorite WDW memories.

I guess its not so odd for me, but more that it will be an interesting week! I do lots of stuff with my parents now that we live near each other again....but we have always had trouble vacationing together haha. If you are going at the end of October and see 3 adults trying to pull each other in different directions, thats us!!!

Trust me ... it's easy for a vacation to become stressful for any family, including a family of adults. If you're staying on site, just be prepared to do some things on your own.

There were plenty of times where I spontaneously split off from my parents and just told them I would meet up with them later ... many times just to relax at the Rose&Crown or Tune-In Lounge

I wouldn't worry about it, when the time comes it just all works out Plus i go a lot with my parents and they end up getting tired and want to go relax and im 28 so i meet up with them later for a fast food break or a walk around a place like downtown disney. Sometimes its nice to take a walk around the resort, you know its like taking a walk around the neighborhood at home, i bet you do that sometimes, right?????

First off, I am 48 years young. I go to WDW and Disneyland as many times a year as I can possibly afford. My parents are not disney fans so would not consider a trip. . .HOWEVER, for those of you with kids consider this. My son is 16 and LOVES going to Disney. Disneyland, Disneyworld, whatever. He doesnt care as long as mom is going. He will always be a disney nut and will one day marry someone who is either a disney nut or will be a convert soon after they meet.

Here is my son with me on my 48th Birthday trip last month:
