I adore going to theme parks and disney blew me away when I went in 2000 and 2002... it was Incredible but now I need to convince my other half that he would love to go to WDW with me sometime.. !!

This boy has never been on a rollercoaster and says he hates the idea of being out of control so there for he has never bothered going to a theme park.. :brick: I am convinced thou that if he just tried it he would love it!!.. any ideas on how I can talk him round?!

If he dislikes roller coasters so much, promise him not to force him to ride, but let him know there are other things besides roller coasters in WDW. Bring up other things to see besides rides like shows, restaurants, the resorts, etc… You can always play it up to be a romantic getaway for the two of you. ;)

Disney is a great place to go for someone who doesn't like rollercoasters! Does he realize what else is there? Aside from showing him the rest of what Disney has to offer, I can't think of any ideas. What are his interests? Does he like golf? Animals? or maybe there is a special event you can schedule around (food & wine fest, etc).

Since when has Disney been solely about thrill rides? :rolleyes:

"Theme parks" are one-of-a-kind. Disney, of course, tops all categories. Just because there's thrills, doesn't mean they're scary thrills. Take Soarin', for example. Nearly 90%, it seemed, reports that they've felt no motion sickness, if even minimal.

Disney isn't "committed" to thrill rides. They're committed to the experience of the thrill. :wave:

Thanks for advice! it will be a few years before we can afford to go anyhow so I have a while to talk him round! I have convinced him to go to our biggest theme park (Alton Towers) when it opens again in the April.. its not a patch on disney but it might go someways to convincing him!

Its nice to be able to chat to people who get the same buzz as I do from Disney! will never forget my first time throu the gates!! :sohappy:

I'm a "Certified Roller Coaster Chicken".. and I moved to Orlando so I could go to Disney all the time! Silly, tell him to join this board and read! :)

Sometimes I think that "Disney World" and "theme park" shouldn't even be used in the same sentence.

Disney is an experience. It is the total package. A package that you're never quite through opening. There is something in it for everyone. You don't have to like thrill rides. You don't even have to go on any ride of any kind if that's your choice, and you could still have a wonderful time at WDW.

If he was talking about six flags, he'd have a point. But this is Disney. Take him for a tour of the attractions via the Disney World website to see just what is there.

I like that analogy. Quite fitting! We always do something we've never done before.

Does he like Video Games? If so, Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin is basically the same thing. Get a blaster, aim for the targets, get a score. You can make a game out of it between the two of you. For example: Whoever gets the lower score, buys the winner a souvineer(SP?) or an ice cream or something like that. And yes, you do spin, but you control it. :wave:

Just twigged you are not that far from me - Disney is NOTHING like UK theme parks. If your bloke thinks it's like Alton Towers he has nothing to fear :wave:
