Thank you all so much for your input. I wish I knew what was wrong with DH. Unfortunately, I can't compare this to past vacations, because this is our first true family vacation. We travel to see family, but we've never gone anywhere just for the sake of going. Even our past trip together to WDW was for a wedding.

DH went to WDW nearly every year as a child -- he grew up in South Carolina and his family tried to go as often as possible. We had a good time (I thought) when we went to the Disney wedding several years ago, but because DH was busy being a best man, we didn't have a lot of time to do things together. Ever since, we've talked about how nice it would be to go back and do things on our own.

I talked to DH about doing the Richard Petty Driving Experience, but he is beyond Pooh-sized...he is Sully-sized, and while he *really* wants to do it, he doesn't think he'll fit in the cars. And he is too big for the Segway tours. He's excited about Test Track because we didn't get to do that last time, but beyond that, doesn't care about anything else. He doesn't golf or fish. He likes boats, so I booked a Wishes cruise, but he thinks that is a waste of money and wants me to cancel it. (His mother has offered to pay for it, so it's not even that it's a waste of OUR money.)

I guess I'm just going to have to leave him behind. I probably can't leave him in Nebraska, but I will leave him in the hotel if I have to.
