Would this be something greedy to do?

[Mrs.viv07]

We are going in january for my son's 6th birthday so i have made t-shirts for him to wear plus all of our ADR's have made a note of this so he can be surprised. We will also get him the pin to wear at each park.
Here is where my dilema comes in.
Our 1 year wedding anniversary is around that time as well, would it be greedy or would we be stealing DS thinder if we mention its our anniversary as well?
i would 99% of the time let DS have it all and then some but we never got a honeymoon and this is our frist vacation ever, i mean we took weekend trips and the sort throught the summer but nothing like this and we want to make it special. Would it be wrong?

i ordered DS a basket to be delivered to our room for him to find as a gift from mickey for his bday filled with toys and stuff and for MH i ordered a basket with ornaments, wine and some other pixie dust to surprise him for our anniv.

so do i let DS have all the fun at ADR or do i include us also?

Hi, I think that you should take one of the nights at WDW and CELEBRATE just your Anniversary. Since you have planned so much for your DS I am sure he will not mind sharing 1 night. And I think children need to see that a Wedding Anniversary is an important event to be CELEBRATED. If you REALLY want to indulge you and DH,how about a few hours at a Child Care Center for DS?? I hear that most younger children LOVE the one at the POLY. This would give you and DH a night to celebrate your 1st Anniversary and a night of fun for your DS. Joan

I would not celebrate both at the same time, but maybe your last night could be for your anniversary.

Excellent idea!
And the baskets are a nice touch.

Kind of off topic, but when you stated that it's around your anniversary, I chuckled. I still remember five years ago, dining at Narcosee's next to a family with two kids around 5-7. The parents were beaming at the special attention lavished on them as they were celebrating their anniversary. The oldest of the two children stated in a voice clear enough for several tables to hear, "But Mom, didn't you guys celebrate you anbaversry last month?" Dead silence, and all around.

 

[Mrs.viv07]

omg!!!! that is too funny!!! DS bday is the 13th, our anniv is the 5th we will be there 10-16th so that is around.
call me crazy but i would feel like i was cheating if i did that with more than a week's difference, but thats me!

I think you should celebrate your sons birthday on his birthday and your anniverary on your annivesary. If you are not in the world during your anniversary then there is nothing wrong with making a special night out for it. Would I tell everyone it is my anniversary...no.

 

[Tinker74]

Is your aniversary in 11 days time? Or is it while you are on vacation.

 

[Mrs.viv07]

im must confess i am a number-holic that is our dating anniv. but our wedding anniv is in january the 5th
i just realized this may have suonde so conflicting looking at the counter!

[Luv'sTink]

I think that it will be fine. A lot of people celebrate an occasion on the weekend before/after the actual date. I feel this is really how most people do it. I wouldn't do it every night but one night would be fine.

 

[Tinker74]

Now Iam really confused??? Your ticker says that your 1st anniversary is on the 5th of November...but you say this is your dating anniversary...and your actual wedding anniversary is on the 5th of Jan.which is just before your vacation.
So you met and married within 2 months

why have a ticker for your dating anniversary but not your wedding anniversary.

C'mon fess up.

Tink, I don't know about the other points, but they could have been married 1 year and 2 months later, 2 years and 2 months later, etc, etc.

 

[Mrs.viv07]

ok since you are set on playing detective here let me break it down for you ok
we eloped june 16 2004, like i said eloped meaning noone knew!
we got married in jan 2005 in a church in front of everyone family friends ect.
we started dating in nov 2002 so technically this coming nov as in 11 days it will be 4 years of dating but as i said i am onssed with # so it says 1st in my tocker bc it is our first MARRIED (that all know about) dating anniv.

Me, DF, DM, DH, and DD (4) will be going to WDW Nov. 27 - Dec. 3. My Daughter's Birthday is Nov. 15. We are throwing a birthday party for her here at home, but our gift to her is a birthday trip to WDW. We will be celebrating her birthday all week at WDW, but the specific date we are celebrating at an ADR is Nov. 28. Our 6th wedding anniversary is Dec. 2, so we will go out while DM and DF do something together. We are also celebrating my 30th birthday which is Dec. 9. My DM told me that I should not worry about it, that it was perfectly acceptable.

 

[Boncho]

I still think you should leave your anniversary out of it, you were married in June. If both events actually were on the same day that would be one thing, but they aren't. I could find an excuse for an anniversary of some kind almost every day of the year if I wanted to,let your son enjoy his day. If you want to celebrate your anniversary while you are there, do it on another day.

 

[Brise Nannie]

I would not celebrate both at the same time, but maybe your last night could be for your anniversary.

I agree. I would celebrate both but just not on the same day. We'll be doing just that in December. My parents are celebrating their 57th anniversary and my DGS will be celebrating his 12th BD. We plan to have two celebrations with cakes on two different evenings, at different locations.

Have a great time celebrating!

i don't know if my initial post wasn't clear enough i wanted to celebrate on A day we were in WDW not the 13th when it will be all about DS' bday
possibly the 11th or the 15th anmy OTHER day
i was asking if it was greedy to celebrate it while we were there not on the day of DS bday

I don't think it is greedy at all. As long as you have specified one day as your son's day, you should be fine. WDW is the place to celebrate. Pick a restaraunt that you can always remember as "our restaraunt" and go for it. I have heard great things about Neverland, maybe one night you would want to drop your son off there while you two celebrate. I mean, really, take me for example. I have 3 celebrations in one week!

 

[Mrs.PrinceCharming]

Ok "Prince Charming" is my second husband. (First husband was neither a prince not charming - but we won't go there.) "Prince Charming" and I got married on my daughter from my first marriage's 14th birthday'so her birthday and our anniversary are the same day. While she was living at home with us ( she is an adult now) we celebrated her birthday on her birthday and our anniversary a day before or a day after.

Now if we were at Disney on her birthday/ our anniversary I would probably do the same thing - celebrate her birthday on the actual day - our anniversary a day earlier or later.

My son's birthday is very near Christmas so I sometimes worry if he is "lost in the holiday shuffle a bit" He will have a birthday about a week before our next trip to WDW and I definitely plan on celebrating his birthday their.

My oldest DD (not the one mentioned above) had her honeymoon at WDW last spring. She and her new hubby enjoyed the bride and groom ears so much that I want to plan another trip near my anniversary (which is no where near when we are going) just so I can wear the Bride ears.


Any excuse to celebrate and any excuse to plan a trip to WDW works for me.
