The opposite has happened to me. I talk about Disney so much and how I love all my Disney vacations my friends have asked to come along because I make it sound like so much fun.
No her boyfriend has started this was his comment and I quote " I don't understand how you spend every single vacation day you have, at the same place... when that place is pretty much a glorafied great-adventure."
How can anyone compare the 2. There NO comparsion at all. If he tries to talk her out of this trip there will be no hope for him.
I hate people that say that. I dont judge your vacations dont you dare judge mine! I hate sitting on a beach its not my thing. Disney is my thing LEAVE ME ALONE! MY blood is boiling right NOW!
We don't have kids and are in our late 20s/early 30s (I'm 27, he's 33 and turning 34 during our upcoming trip). We were originally going to Hawaii . . . but cancelled for disney. Try explaining THAT to people
Whoa....relax! Your blood is boiling because he disparaged Disney World? REALLY?
That ain't healthy, sister.
I can easily sum this up for you. The reason you spend every vacation at the same place is becuase nothing is better than going to Walt Disney World. My husband and I have this same discussion every other year when I book our Disney trip. I know he would rather go somewhere new, but why try something new when you have already found perfection!!
That's right, I believe WDW is Perfect. I would never vacation anywhere else if I could!!!

This is how many many Disney fans feel, they won't give anywhere a chance and with that they are missing many many wonderful places in the world. How is this decision not the same as someone who won't give Disney a chance??????
We love Disney and if the chance offers its self we will visit, in 5 days we will leave for our second trip which we are all very excited about. But I wouldn't give up any of my other trips to equally wonderful places we have been and only ever visit WDW.
If you want to that is your decision because it is your vacation and you can do as you please, but don't think for a second that you are any different to the "people that just don't understand"

For the people who think, "So he doesn't get it, big deal"... That's entirely not the point. There are loads of things I don't get. I don't get NASCAR. I don't get football. I don't get musicals, by and large.
But when someone is talking about going to one of those things, I don't take the opportunity to dump all over it. Especially when they are clearly excited.
I think he's just jealous and getting nasty about it.
I get your feelings, OP. I once had a professor in college, I forget what area of study the class was in, but he spent an entire 90-minute summer session class going over why people are "idiots" and "immature" to go to Disney, even though he'd never been. I can normally brush that stuff off, but by the end I was pretty angry. I said in front of the whole class how as a child I had several eating disorders and ailments, and my treatment was quite intense. No matter what my parents did or where they tried to take me to relax, Disney was the only place where I could be a kid and be happy and relax. I told him how my parents took me there as frequently as possible, even though it was a burden as we are just working class, to relieve some of my stress. It was a place that held special meaning for me even beyond a love of Disney, because it was one of the few places I can remember always being happy & never in pain or distress. After that he really changed his tune and even apologized if he had offended anyone!
I know how it feels, like someone may be attacking you personally. But really, try to focus on the good, exciting things, like the fact you're going to Disney with your best friend! I hope you two have a wonderful time!
