What are my chances???

I am sure this has been discussed many times before as I know so many of you have similar situations, but here is my story....

I grew up loving Disney. My family took me several times during my childhood, I loved all of the Disney movies and when I got older, I traveled to the World with my sister and best friend and really solidified my passion for this magical place. DBF and I started dating almost 6 years ago now. He is one of four boys and grew up playing sports and having no interest in going to Disney. Now you see where this is going...

Last year, for my graduation, we took a land and sea trip together. It was wonderful. I was tickled to be there with him and he seemed to enjoy the parks (even though I did keep him in MK for 13 hours straight). We left on the note that we would return and I was happy with that.

By September - I had the itch again. I had only gotten three nights in WDW and really wanted to go back so I dragged him back down in November. It was a stretch. It was overkill and I know now that I won't be going back for some time because he has had his fill.

So (I have finally come to my question), how do all of you handle your non-disney obsessed counterparts??? Have you converted them??? What is the chance that DBF will grow to love Disney, not as much as I do, but enough to understand me???

Oh lordy if I could find a way I'd tell ya! I've been going since I was a baby in a stroller every year and last year for our wedding land/sea, staying on property solidified my love for the place. I FINALLY got him to agree to go back for our vaca in less than two weeks (YAY!!!!!!) but he said after that, not for awhile He wants to explore other places........He thinks all of us on the DIS are nuts and tells me I don't have to tell him every little thing I read. Meh! I tell him my second husband will adore Disney, bawahahah

My DH introduced me to WDW in 1980. He had gone when he was in college in 1976. He suggested this for our Honeymoon. I had NEVER been and I fell madly in LOVE with WDW all because DH said LETS GO...YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!!
He was so RIGHT!!!

Well we had kids and started going on a pretty regular basis but just lately DH wants to see other things...GRAND CANYON/NEW YORK/LAS VEGAS/EUROPE....can you imagine that....I said NOOOOO, DISNEY DISNEY DISNEY....I have weakened a bit at times and have gone on other trips but my HEART is in the WORLD and
you know what OP, my DH loves me so much that he knows we will always end up at least ONCE year at the WORLD....

I actually make him say the word "DISNEY" every night before we go to sleep...YUP, that is no lie and he says it...yes he does...!!! (or no covers)!!!

Your DBF will come to know what your passions are and if loving you means loving the MICKSTER....than it will happen.... yes it will....
