I’m going to ditch my DH at Disney... About This Page:

[MMMD]

This past January it was so crowded at the MK that my family was whining to go back and swim so I sent them on their way and stayed for a few hours by myself.

Sounds like a wonderful plan...maybe I can do that this time too.

I think it is a GREAT idea, you get to shop, and he gets some sleep, so he will be nice and rested for the day .... and you will have some uninterupted shopping time ...Do it ... GREAT PLAN....

we did this the last time we went DSis and her family wanted to go to Blizzared beach and my boys wanted to go to typhoon lagoon so we split up for first part of the day and she took my DD so the boys and I could do the big slides she was to small for.

we do this the other way round. we will spoent the day in the park the DH will go back to the hotel for a read or to watch tv and i will stay to catch some more rides or to do all the shops, befopre we go out for tea. its great as i dont have him nattering that shops are boring, and can brouse as much as i like

I did this when I went with friends two years ago. They didn't want to wake up early on our last day, and I wanted to go to Epcot, to see the Wonders of Life pavilion (which ended up being the last time it was open). I do not regret it one bit. There was NO ONE at WoL, I got on CC and BW before they closed them, and got to see some of the Santas in WS, which I hadn't had the chance because they never wanted to stop.

I haven't tried this, but it sounds like a great plan and a great way to have some "alone" time! ENJOY!!!

It actually works pretty well. You shop and have it all delivered to the room . lol..When DH meets back up later, "what shopping?...Do you see any bags? " lol

[Puget Peach]

I routinely do this. My DH has some disabilities that make it difficult for him to be functional in the early morning. I get up and go to rope drop, park till I need a break, then call him to meet me for lunch. Often times he is "finished" long before I am ready to leave, so he goes "home" while I continue to park. This works great as long as both of you get to do what you want and don't mind doing things alone. I, personally, love my early morning times alone, doing just exactly what I want to do.

Great ideas. I might suggest to DH that he heads back to resort mid-afternoon for a nap. I'm an energizer bunny and a certified Disney geek so I can go from open to EMH closing. DH ~ not so much. Might lead to less conflicts.

sounds like a good paln to me. I hope that you and your husband have a magical time at the world

I did some shopping at DTD with my niece and Mother-in-law while DH and Father-in-law went off to the Daytona 500 experience (not DH's first choice, but he went to make his dad happy). We had a great time without the "boys", didn't have to explain how much we were spending or if they were having a good time. It was a great break in the middle of the trip, and we were all getting a little tired of the 'togetherness' anyway.

Go for it!!

Even better, I'll just have them shipped home!

[jimmymac]

Yes. That's why they invented cell phones

GO FOR IT!! One of the best parts of my trip in August was when my whole family slept in and I had some alone time in Epcot! We had a few times when the girls did our own thing, and the boys and I had some alone time. My DH was happy to sit and relax at the resort and read. NOT ME! I couldn't sit still, even during the worst of the storms! Just be sure to let him know you'll be leaving and figure out a time when you'll be checking in with each other!
My family trip worked out well with time together and time apart!

ENJOY!
