I've done the Disney trips with and without my husband and sometimes without the kids.
My husband does not get "vacation days" at work so if he doesn't work, he doesn't get paid. Also, I travel for work so I would find myself in LA over a weekend with no plans--what to do? Go to Disneyland!
The first time was w/out husband and kids. I made it for two hours, and was so bummed that I left the park! I later told myself that I would never let that happen again---I should have enjoyed myself. Since then, I have been twice alone--I enjoyed every minute of it. We stayed at BC, I ordered a pina colada, propped my rear in a chair while the kids swam and I phoned my husband. He loves Disney and especially the BC so this one was tough for him to swallow--but he's not the jealous type so was also glad to be able to share the experience as I told him where I was and what I was looking at. The other thing he loves is the "Beatles" group at EPCOT. I phoned him while I was there too so that he could hear the band--this one brought tears to his eyes. Maybe you would think that was cruel punishment for him but he would have been upset had I not shared the experience.
My point is, you'll find it difficult at first but do your best to overcome the guilt or sadness that you may experience. Hopefully you won't experience these feelings since your husband does not want to go.
