In fact I may have just accidentally booked to go again in Feb. Whoops...well 40% off - who can say no to that?

[SwipatronSparks]

[paul]

Frankly, who cares what others think. We'll be back at DLP next month and will I'm sure love it

We're going on the 9th Feb for 2 nights. We're staying at the Santa Fe cost a whole £100 each. We went the same time last year. No queues and even waiting for Crush only took 40 mins.

However, out of fear of ridicule I haven't old me friends and family yet...my other half knows as she's coming with me but I can't be doing with the incessant questions just yet.

wow, good deal!  wish we could go then but cant take my Daughter out of school otherwise i think i would be working on the hubby now!! BOOOOOOOOO

oh well have to wait for a good deal for the school summer holidays if there is such a thing.

The way I see it, there are two options:

1. The easy way is to keep it to yourself and not tell anyone where you go on holiday, to protect yourself from others ridiculing you.

2. The hard way is to be honest, be confident, and tell people proudly that you're going to Disneyland again. This is the "I am what I am" coming out approach :-)

I think the older you get, the more you realise that option 2 is the right option. None of us have much time left on this planet, so lets be proud of who we are and what we like, while we're still here.

I'm so glad to have found this post!I am constantly batting off eye rolling and "would you not try something different" "surely you have seen it all"
We are heading back this December for our 4th Disney xmas trip - we had our honeymoon there and loved it so much that we have gone back every year since!
I could not be more excited if it was our first trip!  
My parents colleagues and countless others, roll their eyes at us when we announce were heading off 'again.' I dont really care, I always defend it and I always will.  
I am not asking the people who judge us to go, so why do they seem to feel the need to profess their opinion based usually on presumptions  :roll: ... I have however, through my enthusiasm inadvertently sold a trip to several other people! Who went and couldnt get over how good it was!
And why not? its good fun!
Cannot beat it as a holiday.... Ever!
Each to their own I say but alot of the naysayers I know could do with a Disney trip in my eyes :-"  :stitch_bounce:

We get sneered at because i wax lyrical about wanting to go back but shock horror, we have never taken our kids ski-ing...
at least one of my friends tried it after listening to me for years!

What I find oddest is that no one comments that my Aunt and Uncle go to Florida a number of times a year (they own a villa there) and each time will visit WDW.

Yet we spend less, go less and yet we're judged by the family.

i know people that do that to, i love a caravan holiday with the kids to try and do both at least 3 nights at disney and 7 nights in caravan every year.  People i know go to the same park year after year but kinda laugh at me when i say we are off to disney again!!  i just think there jealous!!!!!!!!!!!!

everyone has got fed up of judging me and my partner and just accepts DLP is our second home, this year we have been 3 times ( 1 more quick trip to go ) last year we went 5 times, we have AP and its only an hour to the tunnel from home. We live in a seaside resort so the beach thing never gets thrown at us. We love our AP discounts and love the world of disney, we get the odd comment like ' but you dont have kids' - seeing as were both men - no surprise there. We work really hard and enjoy our short breaks, theyre our treats - and i think the look i give people when they go to judge us says it all and usually puts them in their place. Luckily half my family is from Madeira so if i want a dose of sun then i can go visit my family.

hi all

again a few days ago i was using a disney shopping bag i got on my last trip, bare in mind it had little pics of mickey sully mikey and others plus a few of the rides.My friend said oh where did u get that from and i said disney and she rolled her eyes and said oh yeah of  course. WHY ASK THEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!   just annoys me.

[steppelemming]

A lot of people don't understand the appeal.  I absolutly detest beach holidays and would much rather spend a few days in disney than 2 weeks getting drunk in spain.  I have been to WDW 4 times (last time 12 years ago) and as much as I would really love to go back I can't stand flying and I certainly don't think I could get hubby on a plane without some diazepam  :lol: .  When we go to DLRP in December it will be my 5th time there, it means I still get my disney fix without having to go far  :thumbs: .  My family think its a little weird keep going to the same place but they know I love disney so don't bother to comment on it anymore.  Hubby is even getting excited about our December trip and he has only been once before on our honeymoon 2 years ago.  
A trip in feb for £200 sounds sooooo tempting but money is a little tight right now (we have just moved) and I did promise hubby I would take him to Germany one day  :roll:

Would he settle for lunch at King Ludwig's?

My Personal view of people going on holiday for a week or fortnight to get totally drunk have IQ's of minus 5 with no hobbies, interests or aspirations in life. I know..... it seems such a waste of a life really..  :roll:

However on the other side people who like Disney simply have an imaginative streak and a creative train of thought and need to have this stimulated by going to Disneyland, which to me is really healthy on the mind both psychologically and physically..    

Quick analysis>>

Drinking Holiday:-

7 Days >>> 7 hours of Alcohol a Day>>> Brain Drain >>> Zombiefacation >>> Waste of Space = No memories, No Thoughts..  :evil:

Disneyland Holiday:-

7 Days >>> Real Imagination >>> Brain Stimulus >>> Learning >>> Satisfaction >>> Enthusiasm = Photos, Memories and Thoughts..
