Who goes to Disney without their Spouse?

[Tinkbellfan]

My DH is not invited anymore. As my DD (5) says "He doesn't feel the magic so Daddy isn't allowed". He isn't all that bad b/c he purchased a DVC membership so we can bring our friends & family with us! Heading down in nine days with my Mimi & Poppy!

I go to Disney on an average of every 6 weeks, my husband comes with us twice a year. One trip is for a week (out or our 2 weeks) in the begining of the summer & the other trip is for our 5 day pre-Christmas trip.. the rest are me and my DD's, even my DS doesn't come anymore (he is 18 now anyway).... I honestly have a better time just me & the girls

My husband owns his own business and can't vacation with us for a whole week. So, I will take our 3 kids to WDW and he will fly in for a couple of days. My children are 5, 6, and 9 and I can't think of any other place to take them where I would feel comfortable going without my DH. I did this last year and it worked out great. When I told him I wanted to go again this year, he looked at me like I was crazy. When I explained to him why I love going to WDW so much, he got it. I feel so safe and taken care of there. I hate driving. I'm always worried my car is going to break down with three kids in the back. I'm directionally impared. At WDW I fly in, have a car or bus take me to my resort and have everything I need available to me with out driving and getting lost. I suppose once they get older I can try something else. But, for now, I'm planning on going to WDW every summer vacation.

Hi all ,

I find most men either love it or hate it.

What I've done in the past with b/friends was to tell them where I was going and for how long. Ask them if they would like to go - hope they say NO and go ahead and book it - then had a fab time.

My only problem now is I now have a new b/friend (6 mths) who actually wants to go - but can't as I booked an girl's only trip with my 12 year old neice for September 2005 (booked before I met him), and she doesn't want any boy's on the trip (her words).

Just have to pipe in! Have been w/ DH before & will go again in a few years probably, but every year we do a girls week or long weekend if we all can't fit it in--me, DD, sister, my mom, & gf's!(sometimes all of us, sometimes only gf's. But it is a needed escape DH doesn't quite get my WDW fascination, so not a problem there-he doesn't come.! Only when it's been a while & he wants to see new stuff! Also, he gets his boys weekend-golfing & playing poker twice a year (which is another mini-vacation when I am home! ) I just love being down there with people who love it & don't try to get to see everything in the quickest time (like another poster said!).

I would only go to WDW once without the wife, because after that, I probably wouldn't have a wife any more.

I've only done this once, when I was attending a conference. Despite being with co-workers I consider good friends, I couldn't help wishing dh had been with me to enjoy the visit.

57 yo here - I go alone or with girlfriends several times a year. Sometimes I meet friends, sometimes not. My husband's been about 4-5 times to my 30. he goes skiing with out me - I don't like winter, snow, wet, cold. When he's with me, we have fun. When I'm alone, I get reaquainted with me and what I want to do. We've been married 28 years.
