How should I break it to him?

I want to make Disneyworld at Christmas a tradition.. . . . We went at xmas in 2004 and LOVED it, which is why we are going again this year after just having got back 2 months ago. DH likes Disney but not as much as me. How can I break the news that I really want to start making it a tradition, especially now that we are married and will start to have kids soon. Any suggestions? He's gonna think I'm nuts. Maybe I should do it while we're there, that way it's hard to say no

Definately do it while you are there. Pick a time while he is really relaxed and having a great time and say something like "wouldn't it be great to do this every year, and just think how much our kids will enjoy it and have wonderful memories from their childhood". How could he say no??????

I agree that saying it while you are there will have more impact. Do it at a time he's really having fun!

My DD decided a couple years ago that it HAD to be a TRADITION to go every year. She's the one planning a trip for next year......

Definitely while you are there! We were not supposed to return to WDW until 2009 after our recent trip. However, the Bounceback Free Dining came up while we were there, and since Fred was having such a wonderful vacation, he told me to book it. It is hard to say no to the magic when you are immersed in it!!

Definitely pick your moment at Disney - you'll know when the right moment is, it'll be some point when he's dazzled by how wonderful it all is.

Tell him during a very relaxed meal, perhaps looking out across Seven Seas Lagoon at the MK!
I hope you get your wish!

Another vote for bringing it up while you're there. Try to find a moment when he's feeling most "magical."

I think, like the others, I would wait until you are there. Pick a time that he is having a blast - like on his favorite attraction - and say it then. NO WAY he will say no!

Don't pressure him to make it a tradition. Make it seem like it's HIS ideal.
