WWYD??? Disney related.

[MusiqChic99]

My dad just called me to ask me if I wanted to go to Disney World in October with him and my mom. My son who is 3 would go too. My only concern is that I will be away from my hubby for a week and my son is a daddy's boy. I know my hubby won't care if I go. He'll miss me as much as I miss him but he knows I love Disney and would give anything for us to go. (hubby can't get off work to go or he would go with us)

So...would you go? Do any of you ladies ever take vacations without your hubby???



I can't help but be really excited about the thought of actually getting to go though.

I would go to Disney if my husband didn't have a problem with it. I have actually gone to Disney without my husband and daughter when my mother invited my sister and me to go with her for a 50th birthday present to my sister. DH and DD were jealous of my trip but understood that it was a special time for my sister, my mother and me.

 

[BeachGirlFLA]

I would go as long as your husband has no problem with it. Your son will be having too much fun to be homesick for his daddy

 

[C.Ann]

Yes, I would go.. I took many vacations without my late DH - because he simply wasn't interested in the areas I wanted to see.. He never had any problems with me going on vacation without him - as long as I didn't take the remote to the t.v..

I would not even question it and I would go. When my kids were little I took them on vacations without DH with my parents.

Now they are 12 and 18 and there is just no time to do that anymore.

However my kids now look back and see pic's when grandma and grandpa were "so young" and it creates nice memories for you with your parents.

I would go after all you are going with family of course discuss this with your husband. As far as your son is concerned, make sure you take a pic and have your son send a post card home and you can call home in the morning and at night before bed... My husband travels sometimes and he calls my daughter at night before bed and in the morning...he also takes pics and sends them to my email... maybe you could do that with your son and send them to your husband.

He is at such a great age to take to WDW.

As always do what is best for you and your family.

He goes to the superbowl with the boys, I go scrapbooking with the girls. Every couple I know occasionally does some sort of 'girls weekend' or 'guys weekend' event.

I've gone to WDW with my dad when DH had to stay and work. There have been countless trips to my mom's where he didn't join the kids and I.

He went to his sister's HS graduation when I couldn't get the days off. He took DS to his grandparents when I had to work and joined them later.

In your shoes, I wouldn't think 2x about going.

I went on a trip last year with my parents and left DH behind. I think having a vacation with my parents was a nice way to spend time with them as they get older. We have a lot of nice memories and photos from it. DH was a little jealous but since he had gone with his company to Vegas I didn't feel too guilty. Plus DH and I had gone on a vacation a month earlier just the two of us to Colorado. (we don't have kids)

My parents and I didn't go to Disney, we went to the Smokey Mountains.

Thank you.

I know my hubby won't mind me going. If anything he will just worry about us having a safe trip there and back and he'll of course miss his little boy. But since he will be working, he'll be busy.

He traveled alone to Arizona when his mom passed away. I was preggers, on bed rest and very sick so I couldn't travel with him. We missed each other a lot but we have a great relationship and it was never an issue.

I think I am just questioning it so much because it just feels weird to go to Disney World without him.

This is about sharing time with your parents, not missing your DH. I guess I would tell you to focus on the positive and not dwell on the negative.

 

[Handbag Lady]

Oh, goodness, GO!!!

Oh, course you will miss each other! Absence makes the heart grow fonder and all that...


I do a girl's weekend once a year. It is July 17th (not oddly enough, it is Disneyland's birthday).

I do miss my husband and I would love for him to come but he's not into hanging out with a bunch of women. I know it was the one year we came back and I told him all about us cat-calling to Tarzan that may have done him in.

Husband has been to WDW without me, while we were married, too. It was a trip just for him and his parents. I wasn't even remotely jealous and he had a great time. And I got to eat junk food for dinner the whole time and watched everything I wanted to watch on TV. It was heavenly.

Just think of the stories your wee one can tell daddy when you get back.

I can't help but be really excited about the thought of actually getting to go though.

I posted a question almost identical to this last year at about this time. I received a resounding "YES!". I hadn't been to Disney World in years and decided to go with the support of the kind folks on this board and did not, have not, and will not regret it for the rest of my life.

I went with my parents, youngest brother, and our 4-year-old daughter. Fortunately and at the last minute, my husband decided to go with us. He saw how much fun I was having planning the trip and knew he'd regret not going for our daughter's first time there, so he decided to give up some vacations down the road.

I am working on my scrapbook still and am so grateful we went. I don't know if and when we'll make it back (airfare from Utah alone is so expensive), but I rest well at night knowing we took the opportunity to do something so fun and amazing. Now, we have the memories forever. GO!!!!

As for missing your husband, I would have too and would have gone on without him (and missed him terribly) because a child needs to do fun things with the grandparents. Your little one will be old enough to have a great time and remember some of the stuff he was able to do with Grandma and Grandpa. Also, he would see you having a good time and breaking out of the everyday routine. So, again, GO!!!!!!

My children are all grown, but we've taken quite a few vacations without my husband, twice to Disney. His crazy work schedule isn't always flexible and often times he won't know when he can take vacation time. Do we miss him? Yes. But we still have fun. I say go and enjoy your time with your parents and son.

 

[momof1princess]

i would go, if DH was ok with it. that said, my DH would be heartbroken if i went to wdw without him-i've turned him into a wdw fanatic, lol.

 

[wall*e2008]

I would go. Soon your son will be school age and a trip like this would be much harder to pull off.

 

[Iluvjiminy]

My DH would understand. We've been married 3 years and he realizes my love for Mickey. Right now I would go to WDW in a heartbeat with anybody that asked me We are planning a trip next summer and I would truly love for my mom and step dad to go with us but they don't like to travel because they can't take their dogs with them. My girls will be 19 and 15, my mom went to WDW back in the 70's when my brother and I were kids with my dad, but my step dad has NEVER been. What I wouldn't give to go to WDW with them and experience the magic. ..................Maybe someday I'll get them there.

 

[SC Minnie]

Yes, I would go and have gone without DH- several times. And he is as much into Disney as I am. He just couldn't get the time off work.

 

[MusiqChic99]

UPDATE

Talked to DH last night and we told me that although he is disappointed that he will miss the trip, he wants me to go and have a good time.

Now Disney World is all I can think about. It's been 8 years since I've been and my son has never been. I can't wait. I really hope it works out to where we can go. I know my Dad said they are still just throwing the idea around but it's definitely a possiblity. I think now that they know we want to go, they are more set on going.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed!!!! I want to do a trip report sooooooo bad!!!!

 

[ols386]

I would already be packing my suitcase to go....

Heck, yes, I'd go if I were you. It sounds like your husband has no problem at all with you and your son going.

Go and have a great time!!!
