i am a HUGE disney fan, and have been to disneyland more times than i can remember...i got my husband into it as well...last year, we brought a friend that had never been there before...he was excited and everything...but was afraid to go on any rides...we made him go on a couple...we started off slow...pirates, haunted mansion, splash mountain...indiana...but he just brought us down because he didnt want to go on anything else...including splash mountain...we were there for one week, and he was like this the WHOLE trip...it ruined our visit which really dissapointed me...so please, go with fun people!

UGH! I don't think I would have been as gracious as you. I would have left him waiting for me at the entrance.

I totally agree. If this person wanted to be 'a stick in the mud' then he would just have to watch the rest of the group have fun. I can not imagine anyone not wanting to 'kick up their heels' after being in the 'rat race' of the outside world. Sorry for the 'old' sayings but hey, they apply in this case. lol

Maybe I'm a selfish person (yeah, actually, I know I'm pretty selfish deep down), but after it's been established that I can't do anything to make that person's visit more enjoyable, I'd get on with my own fun. I can try to adjust my plans so that everyone in our group has some enjoyment, but there's a limit to that. After that, I'm gonna look into my own enjoyment!

Wow. That is sad.
I understand how you feel and that is why I never allow my father-in-law to join us on our trips. One year I was planning a Magical Gathering for Dsis, Bro-in-law, neice, DDad, his lady friend, DBro, and my four. DH had a melt down and wanted to know why his parents weren't invited.
Oh, allow me to give you 387 reasons why I wouldn't allow those bitter, rude, narrow-minded, drunken, hateful people to come along! Last time dad-in-law came to visit, he did nothing but bash our upcoming cruise, but looked all hurt when he realized all the above people were invited, but he wasn't. Seriously, would you invite a man on a fun DCL vacation when all he can do is point out all the people who have fallen overboard....and he did this in front of my children!! Besides, I don't think the ladies (including myself) can tolerate this heathen staring at our chests the whole time!!! Sicko!

So, you are right... only fun people should be allowed on Disney vacations. Sorry I ranted... had to get it out of my system.

I have found out the hard way to. My aunt had never been to WDW, so we invited her to go with us at Christmas. We had a good time, but it was hard for us to do the things we like to do because we felt like we were there to entertain her and there was a lot of stuff she didn't want to do. We did a lot of sitting and looking.
I'll take my grandchildren, but I won't take anymore adults.

That is too bad!

I'd have to agre with Heather. There's only so much you can put up with! I'm sorry your trip wasn't what it should've been!

I know people like that.
I invited my "little" sister along one time. (she is not much older than my kids). And it was a disaster. Won't do it again. We learned our lesson. But we didn't have a clue that she didn't like rides before she got there. I think she just wanted time away from the parental units.

Better luck next time.
