Have you been on vacation other than Disney regretting you aren't at Disney.

Caseys Corner · 08-10-2007

Not yet for us. When the kids move out we may try a non Disney vacation

whitba · 08-10-2007

We've been on two Carribean vacations, no kids. But interestingly, I'm looking forward to the time when we can do a WDW no kids vacation. Hopefully in the next couple of years, we'd like to do a late fall or early christmas trip.

**WishUponAStar** · 08-10-2007

We try to mix it up a bit. Like when we went to California this year we did Los Angeles, Palm Springs, Disneyland, and Vegas. So we got to see a lot of new things but still added some Disney.

I know we'll be taking a completely non-Disney trip to Canada in Spring '08.

I never regret taking a non-Disney vacation... so long as I know when my next Disney fix will be

Daisee · 08-10-2007

Before kids, yes! After kids.. kinda! 2 years ago, we toured California for 2 weeks.. we finished up our trip at DL for the kids. I am looking forward to some DH & Me only trips in the future. NO offense to the kids.. but I think moms and dads need some time too.

Wing Rider · 08-10-2007

More times than I would like to admit.

KarenT · 08-10-2007

Yes! We have gone on non Disney cruises and gone to Mexico a few times. We vacation every other year with DH's family. Nieces and Nephews are in HS/College and are not into Disney anymore.:(
But it is nice to visit other parts of the world have a tropical drink and sit by the pool!:)

Jen · 08-10-2007

Only once has that happened to me.

We took the kids to Hershey Park for 3 days, 2 years ago. We spent $2200. I could have taken them to Disney for 4 days instead!!

dancing4disney · 08-10-2007

We have had great non-Disney trips as well. Last summer we went to Niagara Falls, Penn. Dutch Country, and Washington D.C. We have also just gone to Florida without a stop at Disney. The kids loved all the places we travel. We do love Disney, but other experiences are great as well.

**llama** · 08-10-2007

Nope. I love to travel and see new places, so I enjoy every vacation in itself - of course, I know I'll always be returning soon to WDW....

bethishooked · 08-10-2007

Just did it last week. It was more of a "boys" vacation where we spent a week up in Michigan, floating down a river every day, spending days at the beach. Cooking, cleaning and laundry for me!!! The whole time I was thinking now I have to wait even longer to get to Disney cause this vacation week is now all used up. Don't know if I'll ever agree to go somewhere else (without a fight!)

Good point Jen! There have been a couple times when I realized the amount of $ I was spending on a non-Disney trip, and having 1/2 the fun, could have provided triple the Disney fun!

joseph3947 · 08-10-2007

Yes, Las Vegas! The only time I didn't miss WDW is when I was at DL! lol

Live life · 08-10-2007

We have tried it a few times but we always longed to be at WDW instead. We have gone to CedarPoint 3 times and of course DD was excited but for the amount of money we spent for a 3-4 day weekend we could have done Disney for a longer period of time.

DH and I went on a vacation by ourselves to Corpus Christi and San Antonio and cut it short by 3 days because we were bored out of our mind. We're just not happy unless we're at WDW.

Honestly I would like to try to go other places but I know that I won't be happy once I'm there.

You are coming to Canada? Where are you going? Have you been here before?

Better start practicing your "eh's". Practice makes perfect!

MickeyMcFizzle · 08-10-2007

I like to mix it up with Disney and non-Disney trips. That way I am always excited to go back to Disney!
