My theory is that vacation planners should all marry non-vacation planners.
I LOVE planning vacations - the anticipation is almost as good as the vacation itself. Poring over websites, review, blog posts etc... is my jam. My husband just gets to show up. He literally has no idea of what my plans are for our trip in two weeks and he doesn't want to know. However, part of that is understanding his requests and preferences. He hates the extreme heat, so as you can see, all of our trips are in Nov, Dec. He doesn't like to go, go, go morning and night, so we do 1/2-3/4 days at the park with rest mornings/evenings. He gets headaches, so if he gets one, we slow down or he goes back to take a nap. Otherwise I have carte blanche. I have spent tons of time in the past year planning this trip, and he is oblivious. It works for us.
That is the exact opposite of me. I do research for my vacations but don't do big planning for them. Last February I went to Orlando to Universal for 3 days and Magic Kingdom for one day. Other then booking my hotel and my flight, I never planned any of my days. I love doing what I want when I want. That's really the only thing I don't like about Disney is how much planning you have to do. IMO the best vacations are ones with no planning other then you room and flight.
