I think there are people who like a Disney style trip and others who do not. I love our trips, enjoy how we tour, and how we do not. We know upfront the costs involved in our type of DIsney vacation and accept them. I can speak to friends and hear horror stories about dining, lines, food, and "nothing to do" What????? Some found nothing to eat in Epcot. I honestly do nto think they did anything wrong, they simply don't vacation that way.
WE took a friend and her family and she hated it. She is a Beach girl, a week CL at the Grand, dxddp and a spa treatment, you could not enjoy that? Nope..... there was that pesky parks part of the trip. Oh well.. I stopped worrying about how others enjoy their trips, and let them figure it out. I woudl prefer to chew glass and die than go camping, so why shoudl I be insulted or sad that there are friends who would prefer to walk on hot coals then ever go back to Disney?
