We just returned last night night from our one week Disney Trip---- with THE MIL!!!

CAST:
ME (29) plans the each and every trip-- could live at WDW!!
DH(29) used to love WDW-- starting to get bored w/ it
DS(11) getting some of that preteen attitude going on
MIL(49)-- Type of Mother-in-law jokes are made from-- need I say more (!?!)


PRE-TRIP:

This was a quick planned trip to Disney, due to some airline credits we came in to. We planned the trip in under 30 days. At some point of the whirlwind DH said something about asking his mom to join us, not really paying attention I guess I said okay. (I need to learn to pay more attention when he talks--- a hard lesson now learned).

Anyhow, she's not the sweet kind motherly type. She makes cruella de ville look kind and nice. She would of picked anyone else in the world to marry her son, but me!! Now mind you-- not that I'm biased, but I bite my tongue ALL THE TIME and be nice to her. Even when she's insulting me. I do it for DH. Her and I are like oil and water. We're never gonna mix. So best I can think, DH must of been out of his mind to ask her.

In the days leading up to the trip, I was very nervous about everyone getting along. DH made all sorts of promises about keeping his mother in line and keeping her moving. He kept reassuring me-- I was soon to find out the meaning of empty promises.

The trip had many ups, unfortunately it had too many downs. At one point I was pretty sure I was going to need a divorce lawyer
:rolleyes: . I lost the magic at one point, but fought to regain it. I will be going back soon w/o MIL-- DH owes it to me to make up for this trip!! So there is one bright side to the whole fiasco!!!

One to day one.......
 
You are a brave woman! At least you're getting another trip out of it. I got my trip to WDW this year because I went to England with DH to meet the folks. Even though I had a great time and she was very kind to me, DH felt he needed to "make it up to me." Like I'm gonna say no to that!

Can't wait to hear more.
 
wow, I would like to read the rest of your trip report. One day I will be the mother in law times 3 no less. I hope at least one of my daughter in laws loves disney as much as I do.
 
Ok let the trip begin, you have given us fair warning. If we proceed we can't hold you responsible.
 

As someone who doesn't get along with MIL, I can't wait to read your report. I thought I was the only who's MIL wished her son never married. Here I go....
