For me, the true beauty and wonder of Walt Disney World lies in its versatility when it comes to vacation style. Many years ago we took trips with the kids while they were young. Now that they're all grown-up, they've accompanied us on some of our trips and some of them we've done just the two of us. We've celebrated everything from birthdays to anniversaries at WDW and each celebration is always magical in its own unique way. Most recently, WDW was the site of a surprise proposal for my daughter when her then boyfriend, now fiance flew down and surprised her in a spectactular fashion (with a wee bit of help from us) in the middle of our family vacation. We have so many special family moments like this that WDW is a huge part of and it's difficult for me to even envision a life with no Disney vacations in it. That's probably one of the main reasons why we joined the Disney Vacation Club. No matter what your family situation or marital status, Disney World has something to offer everyone from every walk of life.

My fiance and I are heading down the Disney this August. We don't have children. When others hear of our plans they often ask, "What are you two going to do down there? Eat with Mickey?" to which we answer "ABSOLUTELY!". And no, we aren't kidding, we have some character meals planned! The two of us are so swamped with school (we're both in grad school) that a fantasy get-away is something we both need to complete our final year . I'm glad others here feel the same way we do about an "adult only" trip. After stocking up on books (I work in a bookstore and my boss can not get over my enthusiasm) we are more excited than ever! Thanks for reaffirming that Disney can be fun for all ages! I knew we weren't the only two out there .

DH and I bought DVC just for us. We love taking our grandkids, but it's really nice to go alone and just act like kids again. Plus you get to stay up as late as you want to!

Disney is SO fun for every age. On our last trip, the second most exciting part of the trip was our character breakfast with Pooh and Friends! The first was when my fiance proposed to me! Yeah!! :-)

My dd's are older, & I love going with them. It's so much fun being a kid again!! And you don't have the constraints of going with young children, way easier. My hat is off to those of you that go with young children. I don't know if I could do it!! The strollers, the gear, the melt-downs!

DH and I went to WDW together for the first time sans kids 17 years ago! DS #1 was just a 8 months old and stayed with DH's Aunt in West Palm. We have been there 3 times since without kids. The last time was this past January. DS15 went to WI to my sisters and DS17 went to my parents in Ohio.
These trips are wonderful. We act like kids and are great relationship rejuvenators. We do kid things and the adult stuff like Pleasure Island.
Real soon there will be no kids in the house and we will keep on going!

YES!!! DH and I have gone to Disney every year for 10 years now. Luckily the last four have been courtesy of the Free dining plan and that has saved us so much money. Lately we've been staying for 9 nights/10 days and you would really think with all that time and no kids we could see and do it all, well guess what? You can't! We make ourselves take a day off to go to Universal, which always makes us appreciate Disney all the more. DH loves the big roller coasters over at IOA. We love taking the time to do both waterparks and we are pretty much all about commando style touring, we are there before the gate opens, every park every time, then we take a mid day break for nap/pool time, then back out for dinner and evenings in the parks.

I get the same questions you do, but anyone looking at our photos can tell by the huge smiles on our faces what a great time we had on each of our trips. It's one of the last places left that I leave the laptop and blackberry behind and immerse myself in a fantasy world where dreams come true. We have a fabulous time together. We are all just big kids ourselves, aren't we?!

We discovered DCL last year, took our first 3 day cruise (way way too short, you were hardly on before you had to get off) then took a 7 night cruise and adored it. We will do DCL again next year. ENJOY!

This year, it's just my boyfriend and I, no children yet.

Next year, my brother wants to go with us - he'll be 16 next year so it isn't quite a child, but not quite NOT a child either.

I have a feeling it'll be the most fun this first time, if only for selfish reasons. Once we have kids, no more going on whatever rides WE want to go on, eat where we want to eat, etc. It'll be totally changed. Of course, we'll take the kids there (when we have them) and it'll be a very different kind of fun, but I still think this just-couples trip will be the best.

But this year, we're still doing character dining, and I already told him that I intend on getting autographs and pictures taken!

We are a child-free couple by choice and we LOVE going to WDW! We are really looking forward to our next visit as we will be going with my best friend and her DH. We have a great time all by ourselves, but every once in a while we invite another couple to come along.

As others have said about themselves, we are like big kids when we arrive at WDW. Especially when seeing the castle for the first each visit!

My DH and I have no children yet and we love to go to Disney. It's our favorite vacation spot. We even had our honeymoon in Disney for 12 days. We get tons of pictures with the characters and do character meals....4 of them on our upcoming trip. Most of our friends think we are a little crazy. They just don't get it.

Life is difficult and when your at Disney.....it's not. It's like getting to be a kid again with no worries.
