DBF (Although it sounds odd to call him that as he is retired (and I am nearly).)
In the 10 years we have been together it has never been possible for us to get to WDW, because of various complicated work and family commitments. I went several times when my kids were little, and, in the last ten years I have been once with DD2 (now all grown up) and a friend, but, though that was great of course, I have been longing to take DBF.
And now, in 8 days time, we are going!! :cloud9: I still cant believe it!
DBF has never been on a flight longer than 3 hours before (this will be 9 hours) and he is pretty apprehensive about the whole thing. He thinks it will be 2 weeks of "big scary rides that he wont want to do" and, though I have explained to him that WDW is not about that, and we will not be doing the parks every day (we are off property, which I thought might reassure him) and he now claims he is looking forward to the trip, I think he is still only really going cos I want him too, and he is lovely enough to want to make me happy. :blush:
I usually have every day of a WDW trip planned, but this time I have only planned the first 2 days and one or two special surprise ADRs, until I see how he feels when we get there. I know he will love Epcot, AK and Seaworld, I THINK he will love DHS and Universal, I know he would hate Islands of Adventure, which of course leaves us with MK. I know he will have a smile on his face at MK as he knows how much it means to me, but it would be wonderful if he could enjoy it for its own sake too. So I have decided to hit MK at opening on our first day! If he doesnt get it, we will have everything else to look forward to, and it will still be a wonderful vacation, but if the pixie dust works???? OH BOY!!!!
I plan to start with PotC as we were watching the movie on TV when we decided to book the trip, and I thought it would be a gentle and reassuring start, but a friend told me that the drop at the beginning really frightened her, though I remember it as being tiny. Did it scare anyone else? DD1 says "Mum, you wouldnt go on big rides till we went to WDW and look at you now! He might surprise you" But I'm not sure he is going to transform into a coaster person, and I really dont mind, I am just so excited about the whole thing, and just want him to be as happy as I will be.
Wish us luck.
