We get the questions, too. But mostly they're from people who don't "get it". Ever notice that people who decide on July 15th to visit Disney for the first time on August 1, stay off property for 3 nights and figure they can see everything in 2 or 3 days with enough time left over for Sea World come home and HATE WDW? They can't understand why we go! They haven't done an ounce of research or preparation. It's too hot, crowded, expensive and their kids were brats by the second afternoon of commando park hopping in 95 degree heat. Therefore, the kids obviously hated it too. Also, they usually didn't get to the parks until about lunchtime, because they didn't know it would be so crowded. They enjoy spending enormous amounts of time deriding me for actually liking something so awful. There isn't enough time or words to convince these people that their bad experience was their own fault. I just shrug and say "We do Disney differently that you did. We have a villa there and can be more relaxed about it." That usually works....
Except for my BIL. He spent a lot of time telling everyone in the family who would listen how we were "p*ssing our money away" by joining DVC. (Yep, he's a guy with an impressive command of the English language.)
They've decided to see what the fuss is about and have scheduled a trip for Christmas/New Years. I didn't say a word. They have 2 teenagers who are each bringing a friend. Again, not a word. There will be 6 of them now! Where can they stay? I just shrugged. The final decision: the six of them will be sharing 1 bathroom in a cabin at Fort Wilderness. He thought it was a DVC property, since it has a kitchen. When I disabused him of that notion and told him where we stay he said "But those rooms were over $1000 a night!" I just smiled.
And I'm telling y'all about it so I can keep from blabbing to everyone else in the family, who wouldn't understand my smugness anyhow.
Thanks for being people who "get it!"
