Would you go to Disney without kids?

[t-beri]

Would, have and LOVE to. WDW is such a different experience w/ out kids. W/ no littles in tow one time we spent the day at AK, since it closes early we made dinner reservations at the Marakesh in Epcot and b/c I LOVE Johnny Depp, we made a pit stop at MK just to go on Pirates!! That's the kinda day you can't have w/ the tots in tow.

GO GO GO!!! Have a great grown up time!

This is so awsome!!! I'm definately planning a trip now. Jan 2010... Disney here we come!!!!!!

No way. There's no way I'd tell my child I was going to WDW but she couldn't come.

We would (and will) take the grandparents along so we can have some adult/couple time alone on a trip.

I know someone said that you were friends, ect. before kids but we have never known each other w/o kids. My daughter (our daughter) was 5 months old when we met and 13 months when we married, she is now 11. So, getting away for short vacations has always been a good thing for us, I'm sure I will get over the guilt...eventually.

Ditto! My son was not quite 2 when we met and almost 7 when we married... and went to DL for our honeymoon (without him). Because I was a single mom we didn't have the unencumbered years that many couples have at the beginning of their relationship. My son has always been a precious part of our life together but sometimes there need to be moments that are just for the two of us as a couple. Those moments are not defined by him and his desires because those moments are not about him. The majority of our world revolves around him and his best interests. When we take some time to take care of our own needs it is important that we put ourselves first for the duration.

I would LOVE to go with out the kids. Now if someone could convince DH to get on board with the idea. He thinks if we take a trip with out the kids it should be to some place "grown up". I want to go where I know I will have a blast and get to see all the things we skip because the kids wouldn't be interested. I would love to stay in a park till closing, Sit by the pool with a "grown up" drink, walk through a shop with out having to put every item back on the shelf. If DH won't go I'll go without him!! Who wants to join me?

DEFINITLY I went for my first time B4 kids and i loved it that's why we go back. If you love it with kids, you would love it without! My DH and I want to go back for our 20th to the Poly. Many couples don't go on any trips without the kids, THAT IS A BAD IDEA Our son needs to know that it's me and hubby first. We go on little trips twice a year and my son is okay with it, we take him a lot of places. He would be disappointed but he would be fine!

You know, my first thought, almost immediately, was that I would go to WDW without our son in a second. But after a moment of thought I realized that half of the enjoyment of going to Disney was having our son with us and watch him enjoy everything and to enjoy Disney with him. So, I guess my answer is no, I would not want to go to Disney with out my son.

I've been on both sides of the argument. We never thought that we'd go without kids as they would never forgive us, but then...last year a group of DISers planned an adult long weekend in October, no kids. We hemmed and hawwed over whether we should go our not. We had spent 3 weeks at WDW over the summer with our kids so they had plenty of fun. We finally decided to go. We planned lots of sit down meals with our friends and a night at Downtown Disney. We were on the go from early morning until after midnight. We had a wonderful time and really enjoyed each others company. It was strange not having the boys with us, but they called us whenever they wanted and they had a ton of fun with my parents. They were spoiled rotten and we brought back souveniers for them.

This summer we will be taking them for another 3 weeks. WDW is our family vacation destination for sure. That being said DH and I honeymooned there way before kids and we will be going there long after the kids are grown. To each his own. Have fun no matter what.

Sure, if I could figure out what to do with them.

Disney offers so much for adults. You definitely don't need kids with you to have a magical trip. When our boys are older, DH and I plan to take a trip together, but right now we have too much fun hanging out with our kids. We would NEVER go without them as long as they want to go with us.

My DH and I talked about going without the Princess but it just would not feel right! She loves it so much and it would be difficult to explain why we have all these Disney pictures without her. So we have decided just to go to other places without her.

 

[cajunbaby1]

Heck yea I'd go! I'd probably feel guilty for like about 5 minutes then I'd get over it

Just think of the peace and quiet. Actual time alone in the bathroom without one child suddenly needing to talk to you.

Spa time and Happy Hour
