Hi All--here is my situation. DH and just got back from an Adults Only trip in October. He likes Disney, but not the way I do, and thus has no desire to go back again right away. I know...crazy....but I love him anyway!
So, I have an AP, and we own DVC, so I have points and can stay "free" and don't have to lay out money for accommodations. PLUS, I have a credit on Southwest that has to be used up by mid-Feb. So that is everything except food...basically a free trip!
DH says that he doesn't want to take the time off to go again. We have 3 kids, ages 7, 5, and 4. I don't think going alone with all 3 is much of an option...way too much for me. Here are my options:
--Go Solo. Never done it, but think it would be interesting.
--Take just one kid, and start a trend of doing special one-on-one vacations with each kid. I like this idea, but I worry it will break the hearts of the other two.
--Twist DH's arm and make it a family event (we all have tix and we stay DVC, so only a little extra for airfare after I use up my credit, plus food for 5)....I know that if I really hammer on him for a while, he will likely cave.
--Go with just DH and make it a resort-only vacation, so he doesn't feel like he's "doing Disney" again...more of a relaxing Florida vacation.
Thanks for any and all suggestions!
(P.S. Most of my friends think I am a freak show for loving Disney so much, so going with a girlfriend is not an option. They all feel that they "HAVE to go to Disney for the kids..." and wouldn't consider going without.)
