Like another poster my DH thinks I need mental help.
BTW, he loves to go to Disney too. He just wishes it wasn't so expensive to stay there.

My DH sees me on the computer and says "what ya doing, are you planning something for 3:00 in the morning?" I say yes, sleep! He calls WDW "just another amusement park" He has never been and has no idea! (He did pick out his dancing man in my sig though!)
by the way, have patience with me; this is my FIRST post here, after reading for MONTHS!!! (now I just have to figure out all of those adorable siggy's!!!)
with disney?? I dont think my dh would go to disney so many time a year. we do get to go next year and i am trying to decide where to stay this time for more for the kids. He will not talk about anything until next JUNE. He say its to early to talk about it. So i have to come here. There will be other family members going and they dont understand why i am planning so early. When they see all the work i done they will appreciate next year when we go. Tell me your story.
Me and dh have been going through the same issues lately. We just got back from my first trip ever in early March. I was really down when I came back home so what else to do, but to start planning another one! We decided to wait until October for ds birthday, but that is the last my husband wants to hear about. If I even mention ADR's, Park hopper, emh's, characters, tours or anything of that nature his eyes just glaze over. I love him for our differences, but I am secretly hoping to turn him into a Disney lover as well. I think there is hope though, I caught him looking through Disney's Job site to see where the casting center is and what kind of positions would be open!
Mine is totally FOR my obsession!!
Anyone even moentions Disney, he gives them my cell phone number LOL!
We did our honey moon with very little planning, spent way too much money and have a lovely time. Fast forward to last year, we took our 3 kids, spent almost as much money, BUT stayed on property, got free DDP, and had 3 more mouths to feed! (Plus we stayed 6 days on property instead of 4 days off!).
This year (With even more research!) we have our airfare (About $1000 cheaper than last year so far!) and are staying at a moderate instead of a value. Since I saved so much on airfare, this trip is costing us about the same AGAIN! Its slightly more since we are paying OOP for the DDP and upgraded to PH+, but still.
DH LOVES telling others how "His wife" can get us to Disney with airfare, tickets, on property, transportation and food for way under the $5000 most of his friends spend on family vacations elsewhere!
He LOVES that he doesn't have to think (Other than "approving" the dates LOL!) and that my "plans" are flexible. I say "Would you prefer this or this? "Usually he has no opinion, so I do what I think it best. Sometimes his opinions surprise me, but I think I know him (And our kids) pretty well.
AND I've finally figured out some of his thought process so I can plant seeds nad then he will "magically" come up with a BRILLIANT idea for me to incorprate into our plans LOL!
I love this man!!!
Your trip is not that far away at all! Have you been able to make your ADR's yet?
I understand about being pregnant that is what kept us from going last year, but hopefully our clan is as big as it is going to get! I haven't made my ADR's yet I think I have another week to go, but I already have list of first, second and third choices! My dh might be right I am a little obsessive. I feel better knowing I am in company here.
I am new to posting but a long time lurker. My first trip to WDW was in '87 with my husband, 3 year old daughter and in-laws. It was their treat (except for park tickets) and we stayed offsite at Arnold Palmers Bay Hill Club. Wow... What a trip! I fell sooooo hard for Disney...at 23! Well, long story short, we have never stayed onsite. Many one day trips while visiting the inlaws in Daytona; one awful 2 night stay at a Days Inn in 1994. Then last September as a gift for my daughter (for college graduation) we had a mom-daughter trip to POFQ w/ free DDP. I cannot stop obsessing! I got a Disney Visa, have made my ressies for Sept. 07 with my hubby. I am beyond excited. I have a job but on my off time all I want to talk about is this trip! My husband can't understand my entusiasum. But he's never stayed onsite... I am trying to tell him he'll be in for a big suprise!
