I guess once I have kids I'll start to appreciate those kid-free vacations more! For now, since all our vacations are without kids, I always think it would be nice to have a son or daughter to share the Disney magic with.

DH and I have done about 12 Disney Trips and Ryan has only come on two of those. Most of them were before he came along but this past December we left him home and came just the two of us. I'm so glad we did!! It was wonderful to experience WDW again as a couple. It is a completely different experience to travel as a couple vs. as a family but neither one is better. Both are magical!

I have only been on 2 trips with a child along out of 8. I went with my ex and my parents and Kris and I took a girls trip for Spring Break last year and had a blast!

I've gone with my DH alone and with friends but I do enjoy going with my DD's the most! They're 17 and 20 yrs. old now but the best memories were when they were around 5 and 7 yrs. old and they would always ask us if things were real!! When we would be under water in the 20,000 leagues under the sea ride and we'd ride by the serpeant, they'd get so excited and ask if it was real. We'd always say "yes" because it kept the magic alive. My DH and I get to have nice dinners at the California Grill and visit all the deluxe resorts when we're alone which is special too!

I've always been of the opinion that children are not for me. Every Disney trip I've taken within the past 3 years has been with myself and my bf, with the exception of one especially memorable Spring Break trip we took with two other friends. That was an absolute blast.
I feel like most adults can enjoy Disney, as long as they still have an imagination. Also, I know it sounds cheesy, but the Disney Dining Plan has allowed us to REALLY enjoy our dinners without worrying about the cost, which really enhances our experience.
That having been said, I think the best time we had was in October for the food and wine festival. There was hardly anyone there, and it was mostly adults like ourselves. We even did a "bar crawl" in Epcot, visiting every drink stand and actual restaurant for their alcoholic specialty. Needless to say, it took us 2 days to make it all the way around 'the world, haha. We may actually have a drinking problem.
Regardless, I really feel like adults can have just as much fun as the kids. DW isn't the #1 Honeymoon Destination for nothing!

You guys that have someone that would keep your kids while you go on a vacation should be giving those people in your lives big huge hugs and kisses! My mother would NEVER EVER in a million years keep my two boys over night - much less for days at a time. It's totally not even up for consideration - so right now we couldn't do Disney child free no matter what - and they go with us to Disney - but they can't even take the boys for a few hours so we can have a dinner together. My mom totally can't handle it at all. My kids are adorable angels, but they are two boys in all senses of the word - quiet and serene is NOT what they are all about!! We do absolutely everything as a family. Not to say I would not just LOVE a dinner alone - lol - so you guys that can do that are very lucky. Disney with the kids is awesome, but I'd really like to go to Fulton's Crab House again - lol - and we just can not do that with two preschoolers in tow. I always figure when they are teenagers and we can let them go on their own a little bit, then we will be able to do that again. Ok, so I have a date at Fulton's Crab House - November of 2016??? LOL! It's ok - we are still in the whole mode of seeing Disney through the kids eyes - seeing my littlest one do Disney this year is making me hugely excited. Just all this talk of Disney for adults is making me reminisce for those days!!

We'd been a few times without kids before we had kids. Now that we have 2 kids, I can't imagine going to Disney (or just about any vacation really) without them.

I do regret not experiencing as a couple a side of Disney that we regularly enjoy now as a family- the fantastic dining. On past trips, we didn't explore restaurant options the way we should have.

I never thought I could go without my kids, just because I have such a good time with them. Now that they are teens, they want to sleep in while I want to get up and go! So we are doing our first trip to WDW this year without kids. I'm anxious to see how this trip will be different that our previous ones!

Since we don't have kids yet it's just us and we love it! I didn't get to go as a kid, (my first trip ever was our honeymoon at age 23) so I joke that I have many kid years to make up for. And once I get there we can act like big kids during the day and then act more grown up in the evenings with our nice dinners and shows

This is our first trip with my DH and I and I'm not sure which of us is looking forward to it more, everyday when we talk at work he's asking how many days left, it'll just be a short trip but it's Disney so I know we'll have fun.

Yep, this December will be our third trip alone since our teenage son became too cool for WDW! It is a whole new experience... we have tried many cool restaurants and really enjoyed WDW at a whole new level...

besides once i get there i am about 12 years old.. OK maybe 14.. We have made out near the castle once (giggles).and Epcot!

Just curious?

I definitely know what you mean! My DBF and I act more like the kids than the kids do. I would love to do and adults only trip one day.

DH and I have gone alone twice before we had DD. The next time we go my Dsis's family is coming too and we plan on babysitting for each other so we can each have a date night at Disney.
