"you're going again?"

[iheartdreaming]

Does anyone else get that "you're going again" when you announce your trip to Disney? How should I handle this?

I love sharing my Disney trip on facebook, however I'm getting tired of hearing people say we are wasting money.


Thanks for the help.

Just ignore them. People I work with swear I take my family to WDW every summer. That's not true. We've been three times in five years. Lots of people go to the same beach every year but I don't harass them about it! To each his own. As long as you are not putting yourself into debt to go on vacation, I say go where you want.

[honeybear]

back when it was more affordable, we would go every year. Sometimes twice a year. Yes, I got that reaction. And I did not care. There is no reason to respond. If you like it I love it!

[KAJUNKING]

we go at least once per year, most years twice and get that all the time from family and friends. Some people dont get it, thats why we are all here and in the facebook groups.

[i'm grumpy]

I just ignore them. They don't know what they are missing. And I stopped explaining it's WDW, not DL.

Oh who gets tired of asking for tips from people who don't go?

[micky95]

we hear it all the time.its my money and my time ill do as I please.my dw and I had annual passes one year and we went every 6 weeks. after that year people stopped making their comments and started asking when are you going again.i understand and so do people here at intercot .just enjoy yourself and forget about them

We get that a lot, as well. Thankfully, we also have a lot of Disney fans that get very excited when we announce we are going. I try not to pay attention to the tractors.

I don't get much time away from work, so when I do go on vacation, I want to go somewhere that we all love.

[TikiLounger]

Yeah, we hear it all the time, too. I don't know what it is about our frequent Disney World vacations, but they seem to really bug some of the people in our lives. We get lots of eye rolls, smirks, sneers, unsolicited advice about other vacation options, sighs, comments about how it "must be nice" to be able to go so often, etc. Honestly, I don't know why anyone cares about what we decide, and love, to do as a family. I know they don't get it, but sometimes it seems (with certain people) to go further than simply "not getting it". They can NOT stand to hear that we're going. It's almost as if they're implying that there's something wrong with us. What's up with this? I dunno...

So, whatever. We love our Disney World vacations and we're adults who can decide how we want to spend our money. Our children had some of their best times there and they were always so excited to go (and still are). After The Wizarding World of Harry Potter opened, we even tried to convince them that it would be fun to split a trip between Disney and Universal. They would have none of it, and they were serious Harry Potter fans! What can I say? There's no place like Disney!

Shoot I live local, and I get that! For the most part it's a passing comment. But I've had a couple of people really hound me about it and I've pretty much had to tell them to mind their own business. My life, my job, my money.

[BrowncatP]

Maybe they are all jealous of us, but don't want to admit it.

[Priority Four]

I tell them its the same reason I blow money on guitars and amps without their consent. In Texas we say "nunya". Is that a national thing?

[mechanic]

Every year at christmas I hear same thing. So, youll be gone for the holidays again? In fact we havent been to disney for christmas since 2002! Several summer trips but not winter.

[VacationDisney]

We've been over 20+ times since 1984. People now ask when are you going again?

This is what we like and we'll continue to go as long as we can

[tiggerbuddy]

It's WDW not Disneyland !!
I hear that all that time and it drives me nuts !!!

Just like when you ask somebody who just got back and you say to them "What PARKS did you see and they tell you..."Mickey ParK " They are usually referring to MK.

[eandrsmom]

We get the eye rolls too. We just returned three weeks ago and are going back over July 4th! Decided to buy annual passes since we knew that we'd be back at Mardi Gras. We were actually planning a trip to the Ozarks, but the kids started talking about what they didn't get to do this past trip, and we decided to go back. You cannot begin to imagine what we're hearing from family.

[ibelieveindisneymagic]

People have given up on the "why are you going" conversation with us. Now, they just ask "when" are we going again ...

I would often say that we've found a vacation anywhere is expensive, and we enjoy our Disney time.

Geesh, some people ... why does it matter where you spend your vacation dollars?

[hauntedmansiongirl]

Luckily, we have yet to experience anybody really complaining to us about our trips. We're known as that Disney couple and spend a lot of time helping people out planning their vacations. I got tired of answering the same questions over and over, so a few years ago I made a Word file that I email to anyone who asks about Disney. I keep it very current and send them to websites like this fine one here! Then if they have any more questions I will help them as much as they need.

We have a Mickey Mouse kitchen, so people know how serious we love the mouse!

Don't get frustrated with any haters or bullies- they're not worth your time!

I did not tell anybody about my last trip with my sister. We had a blast together. I have not told any family yet about our up coming trip. None of them travel and really are not interested in travel. So we really don't talk to them about it much.

Funny though, they do talk about going on vacation but never do. Never have money even though they have great incomes. They just decide to spend it elsewhere and then complain about debt and no money.

We only go every few years. I save and don't touch the vacation fund. If you never save you never go on any vacation.

My brother talked about going on vacation with his family for 20 years. He and his wife made double what my famiy income was. In debt up to their eye balls spending it on junk. Nothing to show for their money. Now they are divorced. Never having had a family vacation in 21 years. Sad really.

We usually stay quiet.

[MyDisneyworld]

Oh my gosh we get this all the time. What is funny is they go on the same trip every year so I started doing the same thing back to them, "your going there again?" They get the point now.
Surprisingly many of these people are secret Disney lovers and come to us in private later and ask for help planning their trip. I don't know why people don't want to admit they like it? I love it and look forward to going whenever possible. I always have a countdown at my desk.
I just got back and my next trip is in 133 days........

[Cass&KenziesMom]

I just ignore them. We're definitely getting it this time around. We had already booked our resort for the Summer and we decided to take a surprise trip over Christmas so we bought annual passes. I'd rather do something my kids really enjoy than have to hear them complain the whole time we're on vacation somewhere else.
