Re: This is my opinion only....Disney Obsessions...
Posted by ChrissynRicky
When I went to Disney five years ago, we spent about 1K per person to stay at a New Orleans type of hotel in Orlando, entrance to the parks for three days, and it was a vacation for 5 days.
I stayed in the Dominican Republic for 7 nights, all incluse w/air for $700....
Disney is SUPER expensive for NOT leaving the country.
i think it all depends on TIMING... as with any vacation.
we've spent under 2k and stayed at a moderate resort on disney property.
and we're spending just under 3k to go to the Dominican Republic next week.
it all depends on where you go, and the package choices you make. Most vacations are as expensive (or affordable) as you make them to be.

I don't think its weird if you go on your honeymoon there...
Just weird if that is the only place in the world you go to vacation
oh yeah, i mean i love disney, but i'd choose vegas in a heartbeat
I have no interest in vegas don't understand the "Vegas obsession"
haha
I want to go to vegas for one reason and one reason only - Penn and teller
it's called gambling 
darling...it's GAMING! 
To me you might as well put a slot machine arm on your toilet flusher and put your money in and pull!
I don't "get" gambling/gaming whatever, like some people don't "get" disney.
Did you notice, wherther it's positive or negative, I love talking disney

True...but there are many beautiful spots in The US to see.....I guess I just don't get seeing the same thing every year and no where else...you miss out on so much

I totally agree with this as a general statement! My friends and I happened to find a deal to Hawaii when they were having a tourist slump and went for $800/each air/hotel.
Then i think about how much we paid for our HM

thank god someone posted this.
i think it is almost embarrasing how adults love disney so much. and i may get totally flamed for this, but to go there on your honeymoon?????? that is so weird to me. it is totally a childhood-only type thing to me. even my il's who have tons of money and can go anywhere in the world go to disney by themselves ALL the time. I just don't get it.
I could have written the same exact thing.

I dont get it either.
I mean there's nothing wrong with liking Disney stuff but an obession about cartoons is a little confusing to me.

Re: This is my opinion only....Disney Obsessions...
I never got the Disney obsessed either until I saw my mom - a grown woman - go crazy collecting Beanie Babies. She would explain in detail why she loved them so much. It was a part of her childhood that she missed because after the age of 10, no one bought her stuffed animals/toys (her mom died). My old friend & her husband dress in matching Disney clothes and now dress their kids in them too.
I've had a Beatle-obsessed old boyfriend, a Warner Brothers obsessed relative, a Mustang enthusiast DH. People have obsessions all of the time.
For me, whatever floats your boat. Just don't buy my kids clothes with characters on them - or if you do just don't expect them to wear them.

There are so many things in this world that people do that I don't understand!!! I like Disney, I like Star Wars. I don't choose to dress in their attire, but hey if it makes someone else happy then I say they should do it.

It CAN be a cheap place to go if you don't go first class.
It's drivable for people who don't like to fly.
And it's fun - what's so wrong with fun?
I mean, I like a quiet B&B as much as the next gal, but sometimes you need to scream uncontrollably on the Rock N Roll Roller Coaster and see some 3D muppets!!

Re: This is my opinion only....Disney Obsessions...
It can be really cheap!
They have $1600 for a family of 4 deals. You can't beat that!
Also, for that amount you are getting entertainment all day and all night long. Rides, shows, parades, fireworks, etc. Another vacation might cost less, but then you are paying for activities. You can't beat the amount of stuff there is to do at disney, even for the price. And if you get an annual pass, it's cheaper, and a premium annual pass makes it more like an all inclusive
if it's not the type of stuff you like to do in the first place, then of course you don;t care how cheap it is, but there's a lot

Actually, we weren't going to be able to go on a honeymoon at first. We were going to my cousin's destination wedding cruise - so we were going to forgo a honeymoon.
At our rehearsal dinner, my cousin presented us with and envelope that said:
"Kevin and Mary, you just got married. What are you going to do now?"
Open it up:
"YOU'RE GOING TO DISNEYWORLD!"
I have to tell you, we had a wonderful, wonderful time. I don't think there is anything wrong with going there on your honeymoon. It's not just for kids.

That is something I never understand. Its not just Disney though. I had a co-worker who only ever went to the Bahamas. I havean aunt & unlce who always either go to Disney ( almost 60 & no kids) or to the Lancaster, PA area.
I agre that its fine for people to have different obsessions, but I HATE when people assume that everyone share the same love.
I find that happens a lot with Disney lovers--I guess b/c it is so popular. I have no interest in Disney whatsover, and I had a friend buy me a Mickey Mouse watch!

Re: This is my opinion only....Disney Obsessions...
There are so many things that people are obsessed with that I don't understand. I don't understand why many ladies are obsessed with designer handbags when I think most of them are ugly, but who am I to judge them for it? To each his or her own.

Re: This is my opinion only....Disney Obsessions...
Personally I can not understand fanaticism of any kind.
However I would like to share my last disney experience. I dont think that many people know this but the first wekend in June is Gay/Lesbian weekend at Disney. Unbeknownst to my friends and I, we booked a weekend getaway there for that weekend.
Upon arrival, we were told the resort would be extra crowded but no one explained WHY it would be extra crowded. Then we started noticing that there seemed to be a lot of gay couples. We finally asked a waitress. Apparently about 120,000 G&L men and women go every year that same weekend. It gets crazy. We had a great time but the guys were so afraid of getting hit on the entire time. So my disney experience is probably a little different than everyone elses.

Same here-I just don't get being into something so much that it peppers your body, home and life so thoroughly.
Not just Disney, though that is a big one, but any "theme" that consumes adults (Disney, a sports team, a band, a celebrity, a color (I have a cousin who only wears purple??), whatever)).

I know, but it's hard to afford these international or island vacations.
Everyone likes diff things. I would rather go to some bed and breakfast in New England than to Disney. Too many lines, too many people. I guess that's another thing that bothers me....all the chaos there, it's just not relaxing for me.
I have no desire to ever goto a bed and breakfast BORING
