Do you know someone who didn't enjoy their disney trip??

Some people do like to just relax and not have their days planned out from sunrise to the wee hours of the morning having to worry about parades and ADR's, FP, EMH and the like. Given that this is only to get worse with the new MM+ and FP+, I have given up on those folks and actually am starting to see where they are coming from to a degree.

I agree, I understand that some people don't like all of the planning. It is slightly ridiculous. It would be awesome to be able to just get up when you want, go on over, do whatever you want, eat wherever you want...

Until Disney started the dinning plans we NEVER made ADR's We would make them the day of or just walkin. We never had issues. With the DDP in place I don't dare let the 180 window pass with out ADR's DDP has effected the resturants and menus in a very negative way.

Yeah, before ADR's we loved to use this screen at Epcot to decide were we would dine that night. Yes, even then there were placed that booked up but we usually had at least 6 places to choose from.

I have a friend that's so anti-Disney that he wouldn't set foot on WDW if you sawed it off and sent it FedEx. I feel sorry for his new son.
This is truly scary & threatening for the son. What if your friend starts exposing his child to non-Disney things such as hiking, the ballpark, the outdoors, or heaven forbid...a theme park which is NOT owned by Disney? :eek: Have you talked to your friend about the dangerous state he is putting his son in? Have you advised counseling?

Well, see - I think it's like religion and to an extent, circumcision. You introduce them when they're too young to understand - and they can make up their own minds later. :D

He does his own laundry because she "can't get it right". He has to put the groceries away because he "likes the cans and such arranged just so". He brings the little packages of ketchup home from fast food places and the like and squeezes them into the ketchup bottle at home. In the winter she can't park her car in the garage because he doesn't like the floor to get wet and dirty. He has all the lights in the house on timers, won't turn the A/C on until July and won't turn the heat on until January. One time when she dared to override the light timers so that her kids could do their homework, he removed all the lightbulbs in the house and took them to work with him. She had a total knee replacement last year and was in the hospital for 4 days. Her mother took her there and home and he never visited because, "he can't stand the smell of hospitals". This past winter he told her that he had scheduled them an appointment with a divorce lawyer, then 3 days before the appointment he told her that she had to go to his work Christmas party with him because "everybody would expect it". Then he cancelled the appointment the day before they were to go and said, "It's you who wants a divorce, not me". Before he cancelled the appointment he was telling her, "After we're divorced you'll be asked out by a lot of guys and I want you to go".

Bottom Line: This is not a guy we want at OUR WDW anyways.


Jeepers. This wouldn't be the guy, would it?

My uncle 15 years ago went to Disney and didn't have a good time I don't know why since I wasn't born yet but somehow we convinced him to meet us at Disney in January for a week long new year's eve trip!:D Time to change his mined.

I know a few people who didn't like it! They are in the minority though. They didn't like the walking or queuing and their idea of a good time is lying around doing nothing all day then sitting in a bar all night(I couldn't think of anything worse tbh but each to their own)
I know a lot more who love it though. Some people, I think, are just set out to moan about everything before they start!

I think this is true. There are people who want to lie on a beach or by a lake and relax, and people who want to do things on vacation. WDW appeals to those who want to do things.

This just in. The nice young family 2 houses over just returned from their first WDW trip. Mom, Dad and 2 daughters, ages 7 and 5. They know that we are big WDW fans so the wife and I spent a lot of time with them in the hopes of helping them "be prepared". They were combining 2 days at MK (1 nite in Art of Animation) with visiting family on the Gulf so it made perfect sense to hit only the MK with 2 little girls.
They got back last nite so this morning we went over to welcome them back and the conversation went like this:
Did you have fun? Yeah I guess.
Did the girls get made up like Princesses? No, it was too expensive.
Did you meet Tink and Ariel (their daughters' favorites). No, the lines were too long.
Did you go to Belle's new attraction and on Ariel's new ride? No, the lines were too long.
And so it went. It's too depressing to even think about. They didn't even get ice cream (too expensive) and only took about a dozen photos.
WHY don't WE have daughters, and now granddaughters. We'd Princess them until their little eyes spun like pinwheels.

LOL, I have to do my own laundry, too. Other people wouldn't do it right! And I like things arranged "just so", too. Not like the rest of that, though.

The trick to wanting things done your own way is to find someone who doesn't give a poop how the cans are arranged in the pantry or if you like all the cans facing front. :D

LOL. As you have pointed out, there's a difference in being particular and being psychotic.

Sweetpee is right. For some, they want to relax on vacation. WDW is as far from relaxing as you can get. And y'all quit encouraging people who didn't like it to try it again. Do you feel it is validating your obsession? If they don't come back, less crowds for those of us who enjoy it.

My wife and I on many occasions have gone to Disney resorts and did nothing but relax. We've spent an entire week there before and the only time we went into a park was one night we had dinner in Epcot

Yes, but you were doing nothing & relaxing on Disney property...so you were doing it the correct way. The people who do nothing & relax on the beach (a non-Disney location) are lazy bums who do not know how to vacation correctly.

Something I've noticed about people I've known and vacationed with. Those that seem to have a bad time at Disney complain about other vacations as well. Society today loves to complain. Wants everything instant with no wait. Little to no patience. Aggressive and quick tempered. Disney isn't the place for that kind of mentality at all.

I personally don't recommend Disney to everyone. I have friends that ask me to take them and show them around because we go so much. I know they'll hate it because they are either lazy, short tempered or aren't the outside types and heaven forbid ever break a sweat.

Disney truly is my "happy place". It's a place where I connect with my children, where my siblings and I have never fought. Where I spent my honeymoon, anniversaries and birthdays. The last thing I want to do walk around all day with someone complaining the entire time. As a business owner, husband and father of 4 kids 12/6/5/4 weekdays can be pretty exhausting and stressful. I cherish my "Disney downtime". If someone's ONLY reason to go to Disney is just to "get it out of the way" they probably shouldn't go. They can already sense it's not for them

I'll be a lazy bum on Anna Maria in a couple weeks.

I do feel bad for those that come to Disney without all the knowledge of the resorts. It truly can be a great place to just unwind and relax with absolutely no hustle and bustle.
