My husband said: NO MORE DISNEY!!! :(

[mrsmiller]

Disney is my favorite place in the world. We go every year for at least 2 weeks, we go to Universal , Gatorland ect...
Last night my husband and I were taking about the trip when suddently he told me that this will be our last trip to Disney, he said that we had to EXPLORE and EXPERIENCE other places; that he is looking foward for a cruise of some kind, at that point I reminded him of the DisneyCruise and he just rolled his eyes and said :"it is still Disney!!!" I know that he is right that there is other places that are wonderful but our children are still small and I think that we have at least two more "Disney Years" he disagreed and told me that any other trip to Disney will be me alone with the kids because he will not be part of it. That got me really upset and has taken the fun out of our upcoming trip, part of me says He is right and the other part says HOW DARE YOU!!! Maybe I am making a bigger deal out of nothing.....

My husband is not a big Disney fan. We all just returned from a trip, which I have taken with him and the kids each year for about 5 years. Each year, he says he isn't going, but then, as the kids and I plan, he decides to go. But of course you should all have a say in your family vacations. We also do small stuff as a family closer to home (the lake, overnight trips, etc...) and I just love Disney, so I work some extra hours, save money, and plan it. If some year, my husband doesn't want to go, that is up to him. But so far, each year he decides he doesn't want to miss out on a vacation!

I am sure you will work it out...

Mayit's a be you can compromise and go every other year. If you are lucky
enough to be able to vacation two weeks a year, take advantage of that... One year Disney, the next year something else, then Disney, then something else....

So sorry to hear that! Both DH and I were not huge Disney fans at first then our last trip we got bit by the Disney bug. We joined the DVC which allows us to do both Disney and other vacations. This way we plan to do at least one WDW vacation per year. This year we're doing two WDW trips; next year we're doing WDW and DCL. Keep working on your DH! I would definitely try to work him towards DCL, it's different enough for him but still gives you the Disney fix. Good luck!!!

I really feel for you. My DH is also not a huge fan,but goes along w/ whatever we plan. He did surprise me the other night, and said he'd like to take a cruise. I am not real big on the idea of being out on the water( I LOVE water) but not able to see land. A control issue.However, I said I would compromise,and do a Disney Cruise. He was all for it. I just couldn't imagine being told my DH won't be going on vacation w/ us if it's Disney...very sad for you...

my husband dare I say It? Hates Disney!!!!!!!!!!!
he just goes with me to keep an eye on me, to make sure I come back home

Well, I love Disney too, but there are so many nice places in this country and in the world. dh & I love to take the kids on RV vacations and explore the West (we live on the East Coast). Next summer we're trying to get to the Canadian Rockies.

We used to go to Myrtle Beach every summer, and then we had just had enough. I miss it, but appreciate the new things we get to do.

I know it's heresy on these boards, but maybe it's time to do and see new things too?

Just to let you know that sometimes the genders are reversed, my wife has told me that she is embarrassed to keep returning to Disney every year and that our family and friends think we are weird. She also said she is getting tired of it and wants to do other things... but then our last trip was so spectacular, she has not pushed back on booking the room for next year.

We have 4 kids, the oldest being almost 7. We have been to WDW 6 times since our first was born, and we already have a another suite at the Dolphin booked for the week after Christmas this year. I think that once our youngest gets to about 4-5 years old, we will start doing other stuff, like national parks, cities, even international travel (if we can afford it!), but right now the magic is still real for them and Disney makes travel with kids easy on us.

My DH does NOT like Disney either.

I travel alone with DS(8) when we go, planning another trip this year. I have no problem leaving DH home while we go, it gives DH, who is a stay at home Dad, a much needed vacation.

 

[Brina]

I am sorry to say, I am with your dh. I could not do disney every year. I enjoy seeing new places too much. I think you should propose to him that you visit disney every other or every third year.

 

[DissyLove]

Hey, glad to hear I am not the only one with a spouse that doesn't quite "get" the Disney magic! I don't feel so alone now...haha

 

[bigmerle1966]

Since you go two weeks each year maybe you could break up the weeks and do one week at Disney and one someplace else. It could be that he is just burnt out and not feeling as excited about DW any more. Cruising is great and another cruise line might give him that break that he needs. Another site to visit that is just like this one in terms of info is www.cruisecritic.com. Lots of great information about every cruise line. And if you are not to sure about a cruise try a short cruise to nowhere. They are generally 2 days and just sail out off the coast and come back. They have them going out of New York and Baltimore each summer.

My Husband hates Disney!!! My last trip was alone with the kids and we had a great time and didn't miss him one bit! I don't ever mind taking a trip without a party pooper!! Ha!

 

[magicmouse2]

My DH says that every time for financial reasons. When we price other trips to different places they end up costing the sm and are not half as much fun or as clean or friendly as Orlando and WDW.

 

[SCOTTOHIOCPA]

As much as my family loves going to Disney, they like going to other places as well. We try to do Disney every other year and then a non-Disney every other year and it has worked out great. My kids have even said that their week in Myrtle Beach was more fun than at Disney - are these my kids? (and it was less than half the cost).

I want my kids to enjoy Disney, but I also want them to see the rest of these great United States. I Hope you can reach a compromise with your husband.

My Husband hates Disney!!! My last trip was alone with the kids and we had a great time and didn't miss him one bit! I don't ever mind taking a trip without a party pooper!! Ha!

I did this one year and heard about for a year from dh till we wnet back with him and he made our trip a not so magical one!

we are splitting our trip this time, we will go to Myrtle Beach before we head to WDW. See we do other trips besides Disney.

 

[HappyLawyer]

i am so sorry to hear that my husband is was the same way, i reached a comprimise, we go every other year, we travel twice a year so one year is disney free it seems to be working out very well.

 

[mshrm]

Thats why our group is the Moms day out! Because the dh's are staying home! Well my dh did surprise me and said he would come for the weekend before but wouldnt stay for the rest of the week with the gals.

My dh is a party pooper and worse a work a holic so he doesnt love Disney either. Last year me and the kids ran around California for 3 weeks without him.

Since you have 2 wks(like us) can you split them? This year Im going to go one week with the gals and then later in the summer we are planning a different family vacation(including dh) for a second week. This seems to work for us.

Good luck and like I said your welcome to join our gang! We are just moms and kids that go together for a good time!

Well, you could always do what I did, I blackmailed my hubby . He wanted a chuck for his lathe, costs $300. Told him fine he could have it, if we could go to Disney World. He started smiling Jan 22, when he bought it. I'll start smiling Monday when we get to Disney Tell me I don't know how to handle a husband

 

[mom2threeboys]

tasassy!
Unfortunately my Dh is the same as many of yours. He doesn't hate Disney, but he told me after out trip this year, we can't go for 3 more years!! Maybe the kids will be able to make him see how cruel it is too make us wait so long. (I'm also thinking of buying an AP - for the room rates - and then having to go back before the year is up!)

I do agree with going other places, like some said, and we will when our kids are older - but our oldest is only 6! I want to let them enjoy Disney while its magic - then we can visit the beach and historical places!
