Posted this in the main Disney for Families, but thought it'd be a good idea to post it here too and get input from some men. Especially if you didn't think you'd be fans of WDW at first.
So I've been saving for a family Disney World/Universal Studios trip to give to my boyfriend for his 30th birthday present next year. Thing is, he's mentioned before that he has absolutely no desire to go to Disney World (not knowing that I'm currently saving for a trip). He's never been before and neither have his 2 boys. I think everyone should at least go once in their life! My question is, has anyone here has ever been in the same situation and had it turn out where that person ended up having fun on the trip? I think he really just said that because without saving for a while we wouldn't have the money to go and he doesn't want to get his boys worked up about going. He loves amusement parks, zoos, and water parks (which are all things that WDW/Universal Studios would have to offer). I'm just hoping that he'll get excited once he knows we have the money saved up to go.
Sadly, I also just found out we most likely won't be able to go until late 2014/2015 when he's done with school (he has classes through summers), and then there's also the question of if we'll be able to take his boys out of school or if we'll have to wait and go during their summer break. I know it gives me more time to save and more time for his 5-year-old old to grow. His other son is 11, so they'd be 7 and 13 at the time of the trip. My original plan was to go summer of 2014, so I'm just a little bummed out I guess and questioning if this is even a good idea to save for a trip he's said he doesn't even really care to go on.
Help!
