Reluctant DH now a Disney Convert! Yes!!!

I did it! I did it! I just got back from a Disney Land and Sea Trip (my honeymoon) and I managed to covert my new DH into a DW / DCL fan!! At first he wasn’t interested in going but I used several tactics to peak his interest in all things Disney. (He was one of those people-you all know them - who say that DW is just a place for meeting Mickey and riding a roller coaster).

He had never been to DW before so I did everything I could to make this honeymoon awesome! And it worked! Now he’s interested in going back (DW/DCL) and taking our children (once we have them) on family trips! Yes! I’ll be creating a travel report soon to share my adventure. Thanks a lot to everyone on the boards who gave me so much advice in my planning. I used SO many tips that worked wonders!!
