It's very complicated...and I don't think I even understand everything he's thinking because every time we talk about it, he has another perspective. He thought the trip was great...he thanked me for planning such a good trip...but he wants to go to the beach and have it be warm when he's in Florida and he wants to do more grown up things (snorkel and fish) when he's on vacation and he'd rather have more people to share the trip with and he doesn't want to go back to the same place every year. I'm really doing my best to understand where he's coming from and not get upset about it. I just don't think there is a better place for our family to vacation right now! The girls aren't really old enough to want to go snorkeling and stuff. I don't get the desire to be at the beach, as his parents live on the beach!!! We can be at the beach all summer (and we rent a cottage on a different beach for a week every summer)! We haven't gone on any other big trips previously because of DD9's anxiety/panic, so we don't have much to compare.
Are you sorry you asked?
Thoughts?
It most certainly is not because of you!
That's a hug for your whole family because we love you!
No - not sorry I asked.

Sorry that you're in that situation.
Hopefully he will grow to love it as much as my DH did. But the problem is that he won't give it another chance - so you won't be able to find that out...
I don't get the beach thing either. Don't get me wrong - I
love the beach!!!! But I don't get how people can go to the beach e-v-e-r-y year and .......that's it....

Yeah, it's beautiful and relaxing, but the problem is that me and my DH is super energetic

and love all of the choices that there are at WDW. You can do something all day everyday - or you can lay by your pool.
Does he know about all of the awesomely "relaxing grown up stuff" that there is to do at WDW too? Maybe if the MAYers put our heads together - we can come up with a list of stuff that you can be like:
"Oh yeah - you want to snorkle, well you can do that at Typhoon Lagoon" (You can!!!! I have pics! It's super fun

)
and "Oh, you want to golf?? How about at one of the FIVE courses they have - and we can take the girls to mini golf later too"
How 'bout a super grown up show that's still suitable for the whole family? (La Nouba)
Think about the "grown up things" he wants to do and try to make it fit into WDW. It may cost a bit more, but if you guys keep going during value season and maybe try out a value or moderate resort next time.... Then he may enjoy it more! Maybe try it during
free dining and upgrade to deluxe and try all the fancy pants restaurants next time... the possiblities are endless.

.... I'll help you find stuff if you want! I'm done planning... and almost done packing
I need something to get me through these next 2 weeks
