[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why it's 1 or the other. It's like people think if you take your children to Disney a few times in their life, yearly or even once people assume you don't also take them to Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon or Europe. People can do all of those things. And Disney cruises to Europe are amazing. Yes they are spendy but truly worth it. [/quote]

For many families, including mine, it's one or the other.  We take a vacation maybe once every two years, and now one of those is being taken up by Disney.  I'm the PP who is doing it because my DD has fallen in love with the magic of Disney princesses this year and so we're doing it, but I know our time and money is limited and I hate that we're spending some of it there instead of somewhere else in the US or world.  I'm doing everything I can in terms of planning to make it magical for her so that it will be well-worth it for DH and me.[/quote]

I'm a PP who doesn't love Disney and gets where you're coming from. I felt a bit like this before our trip.

BUT it really helped to change our thinking to focus on this particular trip as a vacation for the kids, and they had an absolute blast.

It also helps that I've done some of the other types of vacations, and know that my particular kids (4 & 7) just aren't quite there yet for them to be amazing for everyone.  For instance I think a dude ranch vacation would be wonderful, but think we should wait on that until both kids are old enough to ride the horses.  But I also spent some time fantasizing about those later vacations while we were planning, which helped remind me that there will be more opportunities for family adventure over the years.[/quote]
