We used to do Disney like that and I kind of hated it. We would spend all this money to get away from the daily grind of work/regular life then spend our time rushing around all day doing the same things over and over. When we got home we were worn out and felt like we needed a vacation after our vacation. It was a joke I never found funny.
But aside from that, DH had some failed back surgeries so he’s in pain pretty much all the time and Disney takes a lot out of him. Even though he’s the one who LOVES Disney, he just can’t do the jam packed itinerary for days anymore.
Now, we plan our park days around lunch ADRs then set up fast passes to work around them. We fill time with the other rides, shows, attractions that don’t need FPs. We call it a day when one of us is done. We’re generally not morning people so we skip morning EMH but we go to the evening ones...by the end, the parks are pretty empty which is just a cool feeling plus the lines are short and practically walk on.
He wouldn’t enjoy going to the park without me bc it’s his personality and I wouldn’t bc I don’t care about going at all. We spend the down time doing whatever. He’ll mostly sleep bc the pain wears him out. I usually hang out by the pool, go for walks around the resort area (we usually stay at the boardwalk). We might go for a ride or walk around Disney springs. In the past we’ve rented those speed racers mouse boats.
It’s a slightly different situation since my DH is the one who would like to spend more time in the parks and physically can’t, but he found he enjoys the trips just as much...we go on most if not all of the rides we want to ride. I’m more pleasant to be around since I’m not annoyed going on ride x y or z for the 5th time. It makes for more enjoyable vacations for both of us.
