It was terrible dream and I really hope it's the last one I have.

Background: We're going to WDW at the beginning of October (46 days!) and staying for the first time at the BCV. This won't be my first trip, I went dozens of times with my ex. But this will be my fiance's first-ever trip and I'm worried he'll hate it (honestly, I will die if he never wants to go back). On top of that, I haven't been in 3 years, so I'm also worried that my expectations are too high.

So in the dream, we check into BCV and make our way to the room. Well its a pathetic, motel version of the BCV. There are 2 queen beds in a small room with terrible polyester bedspreads. We put our stuff down on a bed and go out to see the big porch. But it's no porch, just an entryway to the pool area. Of course, there are screaming kids everywhere and our room is right on top of it.

Then someone walks into our room. It's another couple and their kid! They're sharing the room too. Then I open the adjoining door and there is another couple in there too. At this point I'm livid because I was certain I had requested our own room. So I stomp off to the check-in desk but end up going past it and I'm almost in Epcot. I'm hysterical by now because nothing looks as it did last time I was there. And poor fiance doesn't know what to think. Then I wake up. (Thank goodness)


So now I'm even more worried that things will go wrong. I try not to build up the trip in my mind, but I'm so excited to go, I can't stand it! I try not to talk to fiance about it because I don't want it built up for him. But I can tell that he thinks my Disney obsession is a little on the looney side.

Has anyone had anxiety about a Disney vacation? I know it sounds silly, but there's a lot riding on him having a good trip. I mean, how can I marry someone who hates Disney?!?!?! ;)
 
Yes - I always have pre-trip anxiety. DH thinks my love of Disney is crazy too, so I"m always worried there will be a catstrophe and he will never want to go again. But I've already told him I WILL take kids by myself. Every trip he says - done it, seen it, we are NOT coming back. We've been 5 times since 1998 and he was just looking at the screen I left up last night and going "Hey Look - you can get the Dolphin for $139", then he said - Want to go in January? So yes, you are completely normal. Try not to stress, hope it all goes well. Just to tell you I went with DH only in October to the Food and Wine Festival and had a fabulous day in the Magic Kingdom all by myself! So going alone isn't the end of the world if he hates it. Plus I just tell him I'll meet up with other DISers when we are empty nesters.
 
I was really worried when I went with my BF in Feb. I thought I talked it up to him too much and he might have been disapointed.

Well, we get there and the timeshare we stayed in was nice than where we live! And the parks were not crowded and I had a hard time pulling him off of Mission Space or Dinosaur :rolleyes: He really got into the character meals and when our 5 PH pass ran out, on the 6th day that we'd set aside for downtime, he begged to go back to Epcot and get a 1 day pass. (We did.) We went to the Adventurer's Club every night.

It rained a lot and that kind of ruined one day, but even that did not bother him. I would not have minded the rain either had it not been freezing. LoL!

(it won't be freezing in early Oct.)

Anyway, when we got home, we talked about it and decided to go back in Feb. Now he wants to get APs.

::yes::

Don't worry!!!
 
i think other than the 'sharing the room' part. that's what i would expect. ;)


i dread paying for the deluxes, cause i never think it'll be worth it. but we've been to WL, CR, and now BC soon, so i'm pretty much full of crap.
 

I always have trip nightmares. The worst one was a trip that came about unexpectedly and I found myself there with no fannypack.:eek: :( I was a wreck because I "just couldn't think of doing WDW w/o my fannypack"!! :o :p Honestly, I wanted to go home and get that darned thing!:rolleyes:

Don't worry, Disney will not disappoint. Just take your time and let your Fi enjoy the things he has never seen. I fell in love with WDW at age 8 and DH never went until he was 27. His famous words then were "No one should wait til they are almost 30 yo to come to this magical place". We have been back quite a few times and he always enjoys himself and always feels "tired" of Disney upon returning home. But I give him a few months and he's ready to return too.

I hope you all enjoy your trip!

I was wondering how you could be engaged to someone who thinks your Disney obsession is a little on the looney side:eek: :eek:
