I am so sorry that this happened! I think a family trip to WDW is in order, to make some good memories on top of the bad ones.
It is amazing how some people are never happy, no matter what you do or where you are.

I am sorry you had such a bad trip.
Actually, she did pay for everything. And my husband is intimidated by her - so much for him stepping up.

Ok Jersey fan,
you just made me spit out Diet Coke all over the desk!!!!
Oh I am still laughing (feed bag) that is great!!!!!!!

We took 2 friends (husband & wife) with us last summer, on our dime...we had our DVC villa, paid for their tickets and their dining plan...and they (especially he) were just grumpy and gripy the entire time about something. And indecisive. We'd ask what they wanted to do and then get a "whatever, we don't know what there is do to" answer back.
I'm now in agreement with SBETigg...DH and I honeymooned there too (although I'd been many times before then that was his first trip) and it is a special place to us. I think from now on it's just going to be us and the kids!

You need a do-over. A make-up trip to put all the negativity of the trip behind you. Imagine just you and your husband and the kiddies. It would make for a much more magical time without a little voice in the back taking away half or all of the magic from your trip. Hope you guys can overcome!!

My advice is the same as many others' here . . . Go Back ASAP! Take just your immediate family and have a super fun time! Have the happy memories foremost in your mind.
I have a girlfriend who loved to moan about Disneyland and how it was not the happiest place on earth. Well, she always went with her sister who was the type that if one ride was closed would be down at City Hall demanding her money back. If she wore high heels to the park, it was Disneyland's fault that her feet hurt at the end of the day. And so on. I finally got tired of hearing all of these Disneyland-is-so-crummy stories that I finally said, "You are wrong. Come with me one day and I'll show you".
She took me up on the offer and now her stories are along the line of "I used to think Disneyland was nothing special until I went with Linda" and proceeds to tell about all the fun we had.
Moral -- go back, grab some great memories, bury those lousy MIL memories.

You definitely need to go back and cleanse your Disney Palette. Don't let her ruin a place for you and your family that previously made you happy.

Wow, sorry to hear that your trip was not as magical as you thought it would be!
This is an interesting thread to read... I am sitting here thinking of my next trip in 2009, which as of right now is reaching 'Grand Gathering' status -- BIL, SIL, 2 kids, MIL, BIL, and us. And maybe my brother, his wife, and kids.
Hmm. Maybe we can just plan on a few activities together....

I don't know about that. I would think if you get along with them well (and like their attitudes) at home, they'll be fine at Disney.
We went this past spring break with DH's dad and his fiance. It was a BLAST! They are always upbeat, happy folks, and they had the same attitudes in Disney.
In fact, I got a TON of enjoyment watching my DFIL literally RUNNING from one attraction to another, and loved seeing him come off a rollercoaster clapping and hollering!

That's terrible!! Definitely take a trip with just your kids and get that magic back! My IL's don't understand Disney either, I always tell them they never will (I grew up near it, but still love it!). Some people will complain no matter what. Too bad you couldn't conveniently lose her on Splash Mtn!
