Would you do a KID FREE DISNEY TRIP!?!?

[antree]

I said no way. I could never do that to the kids. If I want some alone time no kids. I leave them with DH at the Hotel and I go off to do whatever. I like it a lot better that way.

 

[momtoBrandon&Jacob]

Never. I could not imagine going to Disney World, which is our kids' favorite place in the world, without them. I am all for adults spending time alone, but not a whole week in Disney. To me, that's just cruel. A nice alternative would be a date night in Disney and leaving the kids with one of the babysitting clubs that they have there.

 

[fairykin]

Yes!

It's important to do things as a couple as well as a family.

In nov. DH and i will be going to disneyland for our anniversary, big 25!

And in early march we will be taking my DMother and our three DGrandchildren back to disneyland.

In nov. we will stay onsite as it's only the 2 of us.

In mar. we will stay offsite as 6 people will be going.

The secret to staying married so long is one trip for the parents and one trip with the kids.

I voted yes because I think it'd be a blast to hang out there with my honey, but I can't say that I wouldn't experience some pangs of guilt about it. I can already picture how crushed my six and four year olds would be if I told them that daddy and mommy were going to see Mickey and friends while they stayed home with grandma and grandpa.

Maybe in the future we'll opt for the Disney Cruise, where it sounds like you get lots of great couple time while the kids enjoy the onboard club of activities with their siblings/peers. A win/win for all.

I love going to WDW with my baby sister, but eventually I'm going to move out and I wont be going on every trip with my baby sister, but I will more often than not

I had a harder time answering that question than I thought! My wife and I honeymooned in Disney 19 years ago sans kids (well, the oldest was with us, but you know, in utero) We've been twice with the kids on big 2 week vacations, We've been thinking of doing a long weekend there this November for our 19th anniversary, it would be only the 3rd time we've gone away without the kids in all that time, but it's harder to imagine without them than I thought it would be. I think we will compromise and do the long weekend if we can, and then plan another family trip for next year.

I actually didn't want to go without my kids and they are teens and adults but they are excited about me going . Now if they were younger I would never dream of going without them.

 

[zurgswife]

I've done girls only twice and I've done spouse and I three times. I love them as much as my trips with all my kids.

 

[Frankiesmom]

I posted earlier but, there is always a great plus to having a drunken nite @ Jelly Rolls with just you and your DH- and sleeping in the next am, then ordering room service!

 

[christa112]

Absolutely not!!!

 

[funhouse8]

Absolutely not!!!

I would have said the same thing when my kids were your kids ages, but now they are older and we are going on our first trip alone in Sept and I have to say I'm really excited about spending time with my honey alone. Will I miss my kids, without a dought, will I have a great time----you bet!!!!

 

[haveitall]

My DH and I went in 2006 for the first time without kids beside our Honeymoon! We have taken the kids many times and have taken the grandkids too!!

We are heading back on Aug. 28 for 15 days with deluxe dining by ourselves. We plan to upgrade to AP so that we can take GS age 6 in June or Aug after he is done with Kindergarden. That will be a fun trip.

We are looking forward to our trip this year.

Totally would... My husband and I loved Disney before kids and even though a trip with them is fun, sometimes it's nice to have a break. And the grandparents and aunt would love alone time with my twin toddlers!

 

[J3nn78]

NO WAY! We went for a long weekend when the kids were 6 weeks and 18 months. We had expiring miles, and disney dollars and had to use it or lose it. I still felt horrible leaving them behind, especially the older one.

We just took them in April, and have a november trip coming up. DH and I both agreed that there is no way we could ever go without them again. We think it would be cruel and would feel too guilty. There are plenty of other places we can go without kids and not feel bad about it.

 

[Nancy for Disney]

Also voted yes. We haven't even had our first trip to WDW with kids and I am already thinking about one without kids. Of course this is primarily because DH has a conference scheduled at The Swan in 2010 which just happens to be 2 weeks after our 20th. I told him that he needs to be sure to be invited to that a conference and we were going without kids. Our oldest will just be a couple of weeks from being 17 so I don't think it will be that much of an imposition to ask my SIL who lives near our home to watch the kids. Can't wait for the trip! I want to drink around WS and dine at the restaurants that don't have anything that my kids will eat.

 

[PIERCEDRN]

We are going just as a couple for October 4-8, and splurged on the Deluxe DDP. Can't wait but my wife reminds me everyday..."how are we going to leave them for that long?"

[bytheblood]

Yes, but not for drinking and such. I don't do that, but if I did, Disney would not be the place to do that. I can do that at home.

I like to visit Disney without my daughter and husband. Husband does not like Disney and so I go during the school year with my brothers and sisters.

Then I go with my daughter and leave my husband at home to play with his motorcycle.

 

[dopey67]

We did it July 4th Weekend 2005 no kids it was great. If yu would go away for a weekend at home with no kidswhy not to Disney.

 

[goofygirl7]

I think it would depend on the ages of the kids, but ours are too young (both under 4), so I would want to take them. If they were teens or older, I wouldn't think twice about doing a no-kids one (besides, they'd probably be too embarrassed to be seen with us at that age anyway!)

 

[noodleknitter]

To me it would be odd to feel guilty because we went to disney without them. Why would that be any diffeent then visiting Yosemite without them? My kids get plenty of vacation time. They aren't lacking any, and would never think they were.
