I think I posted this in the right place, if not please feel free to move it.
This is kind of long...
Like many of you out there, my Husband and I love planning every detail of our vacations to WDW. It is part of the fun to be able to plan the months away and make our vacation as smooth and carefree as possible. With that being said, this is the situation that occured last night!
I could have taken total advantage of my Husband! He had a miserable day at work and was cooked when he got home. He is an Enviromental Engineer and works for a private construction testing company and was just exhausted mentally and physically from his day. We had our usual Monday night with dinner and our nightly walk with our dog and baby, nothing unusual until later in the evening. I was checking our E-Mail when he sat next to me and said, "Wouldn't it be fun to go to WDW for 4 days this October?" Of course I said yes and made sure he wasn't meaning in place of our longer trip we are beginning to plan for May 09. He said "No" and implyed we could do both! This is so completely out of character for him so I didn't ask too many more questions. Then he got out the calender, picked dates, had me check out the Jet Blue web sight for flights, checked out prices for rooms at a moderate resort, handed me the credit card and said, "Book it!" I froze!!! I didn't do it! I just felt like he had such a horrible day at work and this is where this was coming from! I didn't want to take advantage of him because I know he was in a "I really, really miss Disney mood" and I thought he would regret it once it was booked.
We are a once a year Disney family. With the cost of running our house, cars, my business and just life expenses, there really isn't too much room to plan a quick Disney getaway! We live very comfortably but I think this would just make things really tight.
I didn't sleep at all last night. I kept thinking I was nuts for not going for it! I haven't talked to him yet today (he left at 5:00 a.m.) so I don't exactly know what he is thinking but I want to know what you guys think! Do you think I did the right thing? Or do you think I should have taken advantage of the situation and booked everything?
