Great start to your trip report Emma. I know exactly what you mean about being with "non-Disney" people. We went to WDW in November, with my Mum and Dad (again) who are Disney through and through like me, only this time we invited the In-Laws to come who also brought along nephew. Can't bring myself to refer to him as DN I'm afraid!! It was a nightmare. THey had never been before so I packed as much as we possibly could have done into 2 weeks so that they saw everything! There were certainly bits we would have missed off had we been just us and DM and DF. But anyway .... We were staying at the Poly and it just started from there. Really wore us down in the end. We asked them what they thought of the hotel (which was incredible) and there reply was "don't know yet - haven't got anything to compare it to" What was that supposed to mean!!! Anyway, we had a huge flare up at Universal Studios and have vowed never to go with them again! I felt bad for my MUm and Dad as obviously they were in the middle a bit. Anyway - next time its WDW for 3 weeks - on our own!!!! You live and learn!
