We to get this from a lot of family and friends. I just tell them that it is our "Happy Place" and we enjoy being there. Some of our best vacation memories are from DisneyWorld. Our girls are now grown and both have their own daughters. They talk about Disney all the time and how wonderful it is. I even converted our son-in-law last year when he went for the first time. By the second day of us being there he actually apologized to us because he thought we were nuts and then asked how soon we could come back again. LOL
Like others have said it is your money and your time. Spend it the way YOU want to and just ignore others. It is just one of those things that you either get or you dont and never will. I have relatives that go to the same place in Mexico year after year and nobody says anything to them about that.
Enjoy your time with your family and make magical memories!

I tell them its our 'Hawaii' or 'Vegas' and then they seem to pipe down.
Some of these folks have joined us for a trip to WDW, over the years, and it's funny how after they have been there it turns those comments into 'Going back again? We're so jealous!'

Just ignore it. Do we, as Disney lovers, roll our eyes when others go to the cabin, go fishing at the same lake, or go on a cruise for their vacations every year? I think not. To each their own. Enjoy.

"Because we love it!" Is my response, and then I move on. We really don't get it much anymore, either. Like others have said, I'm not sure why WDW gets the hate from some people when almost everyone I know takes the same yearly vacation to the Jersey shore or Outer Banks...heck one person goes to the same exact hotel in Mexico every year. Don't judge my vacation and I won't judge yours.

you're going again?
such a common question, yet only WDW fans seem to get it the most. Many people go to football games, Nascar races, baseball parks, beaches, cruises, and on and on. Rarely does anyone get asked the "why again" question for any of these bc most simply say that one "is a fan" and it's left at that. Why, I ask, can't someone be a WDW fan?
I love many things, and choose to return for more fun. I go to many Nascar races, me and the Mrs cruise almost yearly, I support my Carolina Panthers and Houston Astros (odd mix I know) staunchly, and I love to visit WDW as close to annually as I can. Nobody close to me questions it, bc I am a fan of all these things.
If you feel the need to defend why you're going, I'd simply be honest. Explain the "fan" culture of WDW and what you love about it. Use examples like us here. I for one, have yet to do and see everything even after 10 trips. Or how that feeling of coming through the gates and seeing the castle down Main Street hits you, or how everyone is just plain nicer and friendlier in WDW. Lots of people won't understand, but you can convince a few, and make even more fans. It's a subculture, like sports, travel, or almost anything. Some people fish, or gamble. I Disney.

We used to get that reaction. Then we took extended family along. Now, if we go, we're going to have to keep it a secret. I have a nephew who keeps a bag packed, just in case.
First trip: 1992 with sister, last trip 2018 with grandchild, not done yet!

I realized at church this weekend that my friends actually ask "So, when is your next trip?" Usually followed by "That's so great that ya'll can do that."

We get the same thing. We've done the island beaches, Vegas etc etc. and we simply pick Disney time and time again - nothing compares! I don't believe that the people who say this have been there recently or done Disney right. Our group from 26 years old to 56 years old love it all the same. It's funny that the same people to say "Your going there again?!" are the same ones asking if I can bring them back a mickey candy apple, etc.

Don't let anyone else spoil your fun! Some people just don't get it, and some people are jealous as well. My dad takes a ton of photos each trip, and edits them over a long time period. He'll randomly post stuff on FB, and people are always asking " do you live in Disney?" or "are you in WDW AGAIN! Haven't you been enough!!???". I love going so much, and never let anything anyone says bother me. We work hard and budget, and we've been to Europe and Hawaii, and you know Disney is just my happy place!
Enjoy it! Don't let anyone steal your Disney joy.

Yep. Get asked that all the time. It's at the point that whenever I take a few days off, my coworkers ask if I was at WDW. If I say no, like last week when I was in Southern Utah, many of them respond with surprise. I think one even said, "Good for you!" as if I had just reached some sort of milestone or epiphany.
Then I mention that I'm not going to WDW until September, November, and next February.

No - we travel with teachers & children - who won't miss school!
Its all in what you're used to - I always reply back.

Ahh...we get so tired of hearing the "you're going again??" speech! Yes, and we absolutely LOVE it!! We've stayed in everything from Value to Deluxe resorts, and have loved them all. We truly believe that you either "get" Disney or you don't. For us, it's the feeling we get from the moment we drive upon property. It's just something you can't explain. We've gotten to where we don't always tell people when we're going now because it's the same ole' thing. Thankful people on here "get" the magic!!

We usually go once a year in September, although this year we are opting for a three day Disney cruise instead, and some time with my parents at their house, but I have often gotten the " you're going again " comment. I usually ignore it completely and think to myself, "well at least I won't run into this goofball while I am on vacation and that his family of seven mouthbreathers won't be clogging the lines ."
-
Surprisingly, I don't really get those comments. Anyone who knows us knows we perpetually have a Disney trip in the works. Most people tend to be supportive and ask for our help when they finally decide to plan a trip.

Many families rent the same house at the same beach during the same week every year.
I don't argue or to 'sell' a WDW vacation to anyone.
On the other hand I AM a bit mystified at families that never go anywhere but WDW even to the point of like it's some kind of betrayal to visit and enjoy Universal Orlando because it doesn't have the... magic.
We'll go to WDW again and again while the grands are young and probably after they've lost interest in going with us and we won't apologize or explain ourselves to anyone.

DH and I used to get this question alot, and usually it was from my in-laws and said very disapprovingly (or so it seemed). For them it wasn't so much about the location, but the amount of money that we would spend to go on a vacation almost every year. They have lived a very frugal life, and usually would do camping trips, and car trips when my DH and his sisters were growing up, so they thought we were spending our money unwisely. I on the other hand grew up in a family where we would take trips like this multiple times a year, but we would do it in a financially responsible way. I learned at a young age that if I wanted to take vacations like that, that I needed to save in advance and not go into debt for them, but that I would have to forgo other things in order to save. My DH and I both make great incomes, so it's not as much of an issue as it was once upon a time, but the main way I got them to stop answering the question was showing them that we weren't being fiscally irresponsible, and that we love going there. As others have said, it's our money, and our time off from work to spend how we want to, now how they want us to. I also second with making the point that those who usually ask it of us (besides my in laws) are the ones that go to a similar spot for their vacations year after year, and pointing that fact out to them.
