Background: My DH, DS14, DS11, and I went to DL last October (just before Halloween) and had a wonderful time. My DH is on-call this year and I am taking the opportunity to just go with my sons and leave DH home this year...October 29 thru November 2nd.

My DH is a good husband and father, but I kinda feel guilty that I'm looking forward to these things without him:

:) eating at Blue Bayou without his eyes rolling over the prices
:) staying for the fireworks (he hates the crowds)
:) shopping
:) letting the boys get soaked on GRR
:) pin trading
:) getting up early (he's not a morning person)
:) riding It's A Small World (poop....it is not open)

There are some times when I'll miss him though:

:upsidedow shlepping bags hither and yon
:upsidedow fast pass gathering
:upsidedow paying the bill
:upsidedow keeping track of the boys
:upsidedow riding any spinning rides (I don't do spinning or Star Tours)
:upsidedow nobody to do the Maliboomer with at DCA (boys won't go)
:upsidedow we leave something in our hotel room
:upsidedow we need to figure out what to do next
:upsidedow I need a foot rub

Good thing he doesn't visit the Disboards....:ssst: :ssst: :ssst:
 
Some of my greatest DL moments are from days that I went alone - without DH. Love him, shared 8 wonderful days together at WDW, have so much fun doing things together in the Park, but there are times - it's just nice to do things my way. Enjoy!
 
:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

I can so relate! We just got back this week from our family trip. I get to go again next month with my sister, and I kept thinking about that every time dh did not want to do something ;) He's a grand dh:lovestruc , but sometimes he can be a bit of a magic-killer :rotfl:
 
:rotfl:
this was a cute post.

i think most wives have felt this way at one time or another.
i know i have.;)
 

Well the lucky thing is that your kids are so old, and you don't have to step foot on Star Tours or other spinny rides, you don't even have to go into the line with them.

And you can put them on Toy Story Midway Mania, then you run over to the Single Rider line at Maliboomer and enjoy yourself!
 
Schlepping bags: tip the bell services people to do it, or have your young men do it.

Foot rubs: Grand Californian Hotel day spa.

Figure out what to do next????: Surely you jest. Just don't stop in the middle of the walkway to read the map, like my husband likes to do even though he knows I'll push him over to the side.

And so on. :goodvibes

I had to stretch the truth a bit to put the reasons I'd miss my DH on my post...I'm not really worried about any of those things truly...but they sound good and ease my guilt that I'm dissing my DH. And some of my husband's midwestern frugalness has rubbed off on me in 18 years....I would never tip the bell person for something I could do myself...let alone go to a day spa...any money saved is put in my vacation fund....

btw...I'm from Kitsap County, WA not too far from you....
 
Yeah, tipping people to carry stuff for me is hard for me, too. Lovely when it has to happen (like on cruise ships where they really don't let you take all your bags on), but I rarely choose to do it. Especially if I had 2 strapping young men instead of a 4 year old. :)

And your sons are lucky you haven't tapped them for foot rubs. That was my primary job for my mom when I was around their ages! :upsidedow
