Please stop calling a trip to Disney a "staycation"

[North of Mouse]

I love you guys. I really do. But on this week's show, Julie described their recent stay at the Yacht Club as a "staycation". The term has been similarly misused on the podcast previously. I realize you all live in Florida but actually going to a Disney hotel and staying there overnight isn't a staycation.

A staycation is when you stay at home. That's kind of the whole point. The term became popular during the recession when people couldn't afford to travel but still wanted to do something special. Rather than paying for airfare, hotel, rental car, etc., they stayed home but did day trips, went out to eat, etc.

people will use the term as they see it.......................what a staycation is to you may not mean the same to another, why does it bother you so much???

We live 45 minutes from Disney. We spent last Monday-Wednesday at the Yacht Club. And mostly in Stormalong Bay. Or the CL. I considered it a staycation because I didn't get on a plane or drive to another area code. To each their own, I suppose. It really doesn't matter much how someone defines this particular word.
