What is the most boring vacation you have been on?

[BroadwayHermione5]

Where I grew up, Busch Gardens Williamsburg was where we went for every single field trip. It was only 45 minutes away. I agree it's a beautiful park. I just don't get the "I need to live here" vibe that I get when I'm at a Disney park. I will always swear that there is subliminal messaging going on there. I don't know, the closest to a whole "vibe" that I've found was in the Universal parks. Heck, Sea World is a beautiful and impressive looking park and I've gone a few times, but I don't ever start planning my next trip back the moment I get home from there. As an avid theme park traveler my entire life, while I appreciate different aspects of other parks across the country, for me, Disney feels different. The worst I've ever been to, was here in my backyard. Hard Rock Theme Park. Imagine, a children's coaster that pumped out "Take it Easy" by the Eagles. lol There was a dark ride set to "Knights in White Satin". I WISH I was making this up! lolol The park lasted exactly 2 seasons. Someone lost their rear end on that one.

Ahhhhh ok I get it now. I missed the fact you lived in the area. Yeah we have a couple theme parks within less than 2 hours drive for me butit’s not the same.
I’ve only done howl o scream season there not Xmas and their food and wine but I’m happy they are starting to keep at least BGW open longer on the weekends and stuff. Obviously rides can’t ride to a certain extent but I think if I lived in the area it would be fun to do every so often.

The need to live there vibe fades with time. I was like that once. I even altered my entire profession to get a CDL and experience with bus driving just so I could retire to Florida and drive part-time as a Disney Bus Driver. Life, times and situations change and before long I realized that working there or living close by would ruin the magic for me. A lot of the pleasure I got was taking a winter break, heading south and seeing something I didn't see everyday. Others mileage my vary, but that is how it was for me.

Went to Aruba when I was 18. Great beaches not a lot else to do for a non adult. Drinking and gambling age was 18 but my parents wouldn't let me take part. Nothing to do but sit on the beach all day and it was the late 80's, no sun screen, got sun poisoning. Boring and painful trip.

Winner: Sea Isle City, New Jersey, 42nd Street in 1962, 63, 64, 65 and FINALLY I aged out enough to plead to stay home. OMG, nothing to do with a horse hair couch in the LR and no TV. To this day I can't spend more than a few hours on the sand - hate sand.

Runner up: Hatteras Island in '94, '95, '96, '97, '98 family vacations and I finally said no.

I find cruises to be the most boring vacation. I really want to like it but I just don't. DH, other than the food, actually hates it! He said he feels trapped. If I'm taking one with the intention of doing nothing, I guess it would be okay but I would get antsy so I would only do a 3 day at most and 7 days of cruise food and eating all day...just NO, not for me. DCL is nice but we found ourselves spending more time enjoying viewing movies in their theater than anything else. I mean I'm not much a night owl but there really isn't a lot of nightlife. The one exception perhaps would be Alaska which I'd be interested in doing someday because it's such a unique experience and I would probably be too tired to even care about nightlife. I would love to see more DCL sailing out of the NY area as that may also entice me to do another for a particular itinerary. I'm just really not interested in doing the Bahamas again.

The Abacos
loved it they was nothing to do but eat and relax

The Grand Canyon -- just a big hole in the earth and I was terrified to go anywhere near the edge because I was afraid I would fall in.

Dreams, la romana, Dominican Republic. We were so ready to come home.

I just watched a couple of vloggers who went there and scuba dived the entire time. It looked fun.

Driving to Mt Rushmore from the Chicago area and stopping at every tourist trap ~ including Wall Drug! I am never doing that trip again.
