There are SO many people who just don't get it. They go to Disney and had a horrible time and they just cannot for the life of them understand why on earth you are going again for oh, say the 15th time. Which leads to the inevitable incredulous question "You're going to Disney AGAIN?!" at which point you just want to scream and the idea of chocking said person enters your mind. But you quickly squash all feelings of wrath because YES you ARE going to Disney again, far, far away from this miserable assclown in front of you.

One of the said assclowns? My stepmother. Actually, my Dad, stepmother, stepbrother and brother. All of whom made the extremely WISE decision to take their first trip to our beloved mouse in early August. (No, I was not consulted on this insanity). When we told them that we were getting married in Disney next October, we were assaulted with "WHY?!" and how badly it sucked. Lines are too long, it's too hot, things are too expensive, IT RAINS EVERYDAY, the list was endless. These people "just don't get it". They don't know what a fastpass is, they don't know that no, it does not rain everyday in October, it actually is quite nice and not too hot. They don't know the beauty of taking a break by the pool. No, these people are park commandos who try to do one park in one day and end up running themselves into the ground waiting in every single long like because why? "They just don't get it".

Now in planning a wedding, I've been on the Knot planning boards a lot. There are tons of nice people there who just want to talk weddings. And as a bride, that's pretty much all I really want to talk about right now anyhow so it's right up my alley. I came across people who have called me names for having a Disney wedding, saying we are too immature to be married if our wedding is in Disney. Again, they "just don't get it". They don't realize there's a separate wedding pavilion, or that we met there doing the College Program in 1999 and it's significant to us. All they think of when they think Disney is kid stuff, the dumbo ride, meeting characters. Hell, they think Mickey will be walking me down the aisle (though a great idea, Mickey will not be making an appearance during the festivities).

Which leads me to the reason for my rant today. Someone actually posted "Anyone else not into Disney?" to which over 20+ people replied as to why their kids will never go feed the corporate giant that is the Disney Co. and why they hope "to God" that they never have to set foot in Disney World in their lifetime.

Well, for the rest of us sane people in the world who can embrace our inner child, know that Disney is one of the most romantic places on earth to vacation, know the tricks, don't wait in long lines, don't auction their first born to afford their vacation, for those of us with common sense and a sense of humor, let us come together and THANK GOD THESE PEOPLE KEEP THEIR MISERABLE SELVES AT HOME. Good riddance, more turkey legs and frunch juice for the rest of us!!

These are not words that are used in polite conversation and, to maintain the integrity of this message board, they should not be used here. Whatever words one might want to say to someone, it is the ability to refrain from such outbursts that identify you as an thinking adult. I congratulate you on your upcoming wedding. This might be a good time to start speaking like a woman and not an upset little girl.

This, after all, is a Disney fan website. We are better than the language you used.

:rolleyes:

On a more serious note. I think people who aren't rabid about Disney are quite normal. It's actually the members of boards like this one that are the freaks. I'm quite sure of it, actually.

Oh well. At least we have each other.

I understand where you're coming from. I remember when I was planning my wedding and I would go to The Knot on a religious basis and plan my wedding. I did want to have my wedding at DLR/WDW, but it was extremely expensive. You'll just have to prove the other users wrong when you get your pictures back from the wedding. No matter what you'll never be able to change their mind. And personally, I wouldn't want to be "friendly" with anyone who would tell me where I plan my wedding was kiddish/stupid. I post on The Nest from time to time. Feel free to check me out on the boards, my name is LoritheBride. You'll see pictures of my wedding and our honeymoon (WDW.)

Many of them are probably jealous they can't have a Disney Wedding. I work with brides on an almost daily basis, take it from me, a girl gets engaged it's like releasing the Anti Christ in some of them. Hence the term "bride from hell" Ignore them and enjoy your day to the max.

I have friends who don't understand the "magic". When I can't hang out with them they always accuse me of watching disney channel or going on the internet to look at Disney World updates. It is kind of funny cause that is usually what I am doing.

That's always how it goes. It starts with a little swear here and there, and it ends with a heroin addiction.

Oh, the youth of today.:(

I guess I just laugh it off. I mean, anyone that I associate with knows me and knows I enjoy it, so they wouldn't ever give me grief for something that gives me such pleasure. Anyone else...well, I guess I just don't care, LOL.

I found it humorous in the original post to read about the OP's family - I know someone who did the exact same thing. Two sisters - late 20's, early 30's - took an unplanned trip to WDW. They paid rack rate at the Contemporary, IN AUGUST, slept until noon every day, and didn't make any PS's whatsoever. What did they come back saying? "It's hot, it's too expensive...we couldn't find anything to eat that wasn't fast food, we waited in huge lines the whole time...what's a fastpass?"

LOL. I feel bad for such people, in a way - but like I feel bad about someone who does something stupid and pays the price (like some recent news stories on TV that just will not go away...). I'm sorry they have to go through what they do, but when you don't plan or do stupid things - well, sympathy only goes so far.

Personally, I enjoy WDW, and could give a fig if I am the only one - as others have said, hey, more space for me when I'm there!

I had a friend who never grew up with Disney films, never had been to the parks and overall really never saw the point to go anywhere... period.

My wife and I managed to convince his wife (and thus him) into joining us on one of our yearly sojourns.

Needless to say my friend was a stick in the mud, complaining about the grotesque people flooding the park. This trip was unusual simply because we went into the Magic Kingdom first, rather than Epcot (I'm an EC fan).

When both ladies needed to use the restroom, I sat my friend in front of the Dole Whip stand, grabbed ourselves a delectible snack and just waited.

I stated that I could be perfectly content on this bench for days on end. My friend looked at me with a strange look, but I explained.

I had him look around at all the detailing, little details you just couldn't find at a lousy Six Flags park. I explained to him the infrastructure of the place, and asked him about how many people, how much technology it took just to get it running each morning. With the rest of the trip, the scope and scale of the World made my argument even more powerful.

By the end of the trip, he was converted.

I want to head down in October, but right now both sides of my family have been telling us to go to other places... like Vegas. No thanks.

Wow, that's some post

Now, I used to be on the Wedding Channel boards and TONS of girls there had Disney Weddings and no one was mean to them, so I am not sure why it is so different on the Knot.....I mean, we all wished that we had a wedding like some of them did (one of them got married in front of the castle- man, that was one expensive wedding!!!!!)

As for your family- hate to say it, but that is actually the "norm", I mean I know alot of people who have siblings or parents who are rude about them going to Disney over and over again. Mainly because they don't feel the way we all do about Disney and honestly, I can totally understand that because not everyone is the same and people have different tastes.

I have to deal with Co-workers who think I am crazy for going to Disney almost every year, but now instead of being "rude" about it, they just say- so, when is your next trip?? They know I love it and that we are DVC members so they don't even bother to say much.

Rant on Kelly!!!! Especially when people boo your wedding ideas. IF (and its a huge IF since I actually have to start dating at some point in my life) I ever got married again if would be on some Disney beach at sunset. I have already had the big wedding and would not want to do it again, so the idea of a nice private ceremony w/ the castle in the background sounds ideal to me.

Ignore the nay-sayers, especially your step-monster.

Oh, and I use the word asshat quite frequently. It just seems to fit so many people. :lol:
