Wife wants to go back...Now!!! lol

[Recusit8m]

Hi all...Just wanted to see if anyone had any advice for a wife who didnt want to have anything to do with WDW prior to our trip this past January...Now she wants to book a trip next month...Keep in mind that she had never been there prior to our family vaca...Ummm I talked her into going the first time...I was planning on surprising her with a 2 week trip to New Zealand upon her graduation from Phd this winter...lol...What have I created??? lol

[SBETigg]

Ah, she's one of us now. Congratulations! Though, NZ sounds very nice. My son spent some time there last summer and loved it.

I know just how she feels!!! Now she has to make up for lost time - get as much WDW as possible as soon as possible!!!

I'd say it was just a phase, but I haven't come out of my WDW obsession in over 6 years!

Well, you could still surprise her by booking Poly or AKL or WL for your next stay.

As big a Disney nut as my DW is, she wouldn't hesitate for a moment to go to New Zealand over WDW. She has been to WDW. If she has never been to Australia or New Zealand, then she might prefer something new.
However, you know your wife better than any of us. There is no "wrong" answer.

Welcome to my world

I have the same problem with my hubby. He hated WDW to the point that I went alone with our daughter. Then in 2007 we were planning a trip to Vegas and out of curiousity I priced out a week with the free dining promo. It would cost less for the whole family to go to WDW for 9 days than a 5 day adult trip to Vegas. I mentioned it and he was luke warm to it then I threw in the clincher.....it would most likely be our last chance for the whole family to take a trip together since oldest daughter was graduating. BAM....he said OK.

Now he's all about the food. Last year we stayed 2 weeks and right now he's pushing me to book for this September.

Who knew????

WDW is HEAVEN!! Plan well...........................have FUN!!

[irish1967]

Hmmm - WDW vs New Zealand - hard choice.

Personally, I would present her with the choices and let her choose. I know it takes away from the "surprise" element but personally half the fun is in the planning and anticipating the trip.

Let us know what you choose!

DH and me were there for 3 days in Feb. and are going back in June for a week.

My wife had to fight to get me to go the first time in 2004, 5 years later and we are going back for our 6th time, we arrive 2 weeks from today. I plan most of the trips now....I'm hooked!

[Insanity Clause]

I think that your wife and I are a lot alike. I never wanted anything to do with going to Disney World even though I married an fanatic. He finally got me there against my will in 2001 and due to having babies and finaces we have not been able to get get back until now and now you can't get me there fast enough. I would give your wife the option. Though quite frankly, as wonderful as WDW is....I would take NZ in heartbeat!!

[thejens]

I was like your wife too! I planned my trip out of a sense of duty to my children. Now I think I like it better than they do! Clearly you must go to both Disney World and NZ. I am a have my cake and eat it too kind of girl.

I went through the exact same thing a few years ago. DW made fun of me for loving WDW so much, then took me there for my birthday. Now despite living on the other side of the planet and she still plans a trip every year! Did you create a monster? Maybe. Just sit back, relax and enjoy it.

I would go ahead and surprise her with the NZ trip and save WDW for next year.

NEVER! Ha. She planned this one. We already live in NZ and she actually planned our trip (this weekend) to the South Island. I can't surprise her with trips. In order to get her a surprise birthday gift, I have to take out cash. haha

[MississippiDisneyFreak]

I can relate...I was in my 30s the first time I went and really wasn't expecting anything special, it was more for my son....hahahaha, now I am the first one always wanting to go back.

[AmandaChan]

Ummm yeah, DH and I had to go in 2007 at the last minute because my passport for Spain gave me all kinds of heck and we ended up having to change it all at the last MINUTE. Ever since I've had my passport and we always talk about a trip to Spain but WDW always trumps our ambitions somehow!! Last year (there wasn't even supposed to be a last year trip, we planned a wedding in two weeks and decided that we had to go to WDW for honeymoon) was supposed to be our last trip for a while and see where that got us.

[KevMcNJ]

my wifes first visit to WDW was in January 2008. I wasnt sure if she would like it or not.

Our first day there she was already talking about what we needed to do differently on our next trip to WDw.

Our 2nd trip in Feb 2009 was longer and she said recently that she cried on our last day there.

Im already making plans for our Jan 2010 trip.
shes already stated that she would have no problem with another stay in POFQ
