Sorry to Both Paul and Charlie... it seems my story is similar to Charlies... I adore WDW... have done for 10 years... and wanted my wife to come along for her first visit to understand why I kept mentioning Florida when we planned holidays.... we arranged.... well I said I needed a rest before a big project and I paid for a week for both of us to fly out... stay at a resort offsite and all spending... thinking... this is it... she will get a whiff of the disney magic... and will want to keep coming back every few years
It was at a couple of days in that reality kicked me in the butt....
First up... Florida is too FLAT..... well in her opinion... ok but is that really a problem....?
She also didnt like the fact to start with we didnt do alot of proper sit down meals in restaurants... this was made worse by the fact we was so far from disney and no restaurants near to us... so we made an effort to stay out OR go home then get changed and back out... so we did have nice meals in various places....
BUT then she just kept saying she didnt like it... didnt find it special.... thought the parks were OK.. ( ok its at this point I was tempted to boil my head ) and she thought going to parks everyother day was too much... she wanted a rest....... hmmmmmmmmmmm... beach holiday anyone
we then went to pacinos for a meal during the day and she got upset because she thought i didnt appreciate what she had done by coming out there with me... ( although I had been thanking her as it meant alot to me )
So the upshot is... She told me on the way back she would NEVER come out there again... didnt like it... thought it was just one big waste of money...........
So a few days later I said what about in x years... NO..... then i put int he classic... what if I went alone..... hmmm you can guess the answer
So now I have my dilema.... I cannot and will not never go back to disney... try stopping me walking upto the fountain in Epcot and feel that magic.... and she wont come back....not for all the tea in China...
And the upshot for me... I feel that the trip was a waste of money.... and I thought I would never ever say that about WDW.... I did enjoy it... but it was hard work.... and I am planning a solo trip... and when i have enough money saved ( ie double what i need ) i will offer her half the money... and ask her if she wants to come....
So I can understand a little of how charlie feels... and just wish my wife was like you ladies on here.... loving that disney vibe.... oh well ( lets go blast small world music really loud all day....
