We've become *that* family

[mshanson3121]

The ones that get looked at funny because we're planning on going back to Disney only two years after our last trip. In-laws don't quite "get" it. Don't see how they'll possibly get as much out of it as their last trip (which was their first trip ever and there was lots we didnt do). To them "there's many other places theyd enjoy just as much".

I just smile and remind them that Disney is where the kids want to go, so Disney is where we're going to go.

I can't wait, nor can they, lol. At least a couple times a week the topic cones up and they talk about what rides they want to do.

Knowing that our trip is little over a year away is killing me. Lol. It seems so far away and yet i know it'll be here vefore we know it. Ive been playing with itineraries

 

[SaintsManiac]

I like to tell people, "yes we plan to go to those other places on our year off of Disney."

 

[DisDad4Life]

I'm right there with ya. When I say we're going to WDW again, my brother says "AGAIN?! How many times does that make?" To which I reply "how many times have you been to Vegas again?" He smiles, nods and says nothing. We've had this conversation more than once.

 

[ArwenMarie]

That's funny

Glad your kids are looking forward to it

 

[anneboleyn]

Yay! Let your Disney Freak flag fly! I used to get the "again?!" remarks from my brother and parents, but now that I have brought them along on the last two trips, they are anxiously awaiting our 2017 trip LOL. People are especially baffled that I have two trips scheduled. This upcoming September one is for me and my DD8, and next year is for me, DD8, parents, brother and his family. We are all very excited and I am happy to have them be a part of this cult lol

Welcome to the family ... I don't even bother talking about our trips with my friends and family as none of them understand. Can't explain the addiction. I'm just glad that my daughter loves Disney as much as I do and DH is great to tolerate it.

 

[Princess_Ariel_5]

I'm in the same boat as you! Just went in February and have another trip planned for October. Just can't stay away!

We go so often that people always assume it's Disney, so when we do go on a cruise, they're really surprised. Three trips planned within the next 12 months.....

You are my new hero.

<3 I'm planning two trips next year: April 2017 (when I'm also doing Star Wars Celebration) AND May 2017 (when we're also doing Universal for my son's 10th birthday and elementary school graduation). When folks say, "really?" I say, "and we're going to have a BLAST! So excited for your family!

 

[Jadyreen1282]

Wait till you start going yearly.

I'm making us into that family too. I love it and the kids love it and DH tolerates it (he would rather spend money on cars than trips anywhere, but he enjoys our trips while we're there). We went in September and that was our first Disney trip in nearly two years, but then I had a work conference in Orlando and couldn't resist F&WF. Then I had to see the Aladdin show at DL since I had missed it twice on our previous trip so that made 3 trips 4-5 months.
DH said something to his friend this week about our Universal/WDW trip this October and got the "you know there's other places to visit" speech. We have another friend who in the past has said things like "you've already been there". Most don't understand but that's what makes this board great it may be an illusion but I feel a little less crazy here ;-)

Hang in there, they'll stop saying anything after you become a "several times a year" family. No one says a word to me now.

Unfortunately I don't think we'll achieve that for several years. DH has made me promise that our next big trip after our Disney trip next year, is a trip across Canada. Which I agreed to - and then promptly informed him that we'll be returning to Disney in 2019 or 2020 for the opening of Star Wars Land I'm also hoping to make that trip a Christmas trip... hehe. I won't rest until I've experience Disney at Christmas.

Canada would be amazing!! I went to Montreal last summer and loved every second of it. I would love to see more of Canada!

Love it! Just want to point out that I remember when you were planning your first trip last year and you SWORE it would be your one and only

Haha, I know. I didn't think finances were going to change as much as they did. It's been a huge blessing, trust me. For more reasons than just Disney
