Originally Posted By vbdad55 I don't spend a lot of time worrying about what others think.

Also IMHO anyone who feels the need to make a statement like that, unless they are inquisitive as to why, wouldn't get it anyway

Originally Posted By Labuda I just dealt with that by telling folks that, really, it's ok - they're not being forced to go with me or anything.
Originally Posted By Labuda Oh, and look at it this way: if you didn't go to WDW as often as you do, you may never have had the pleasure of meeting the cutest lil' Texan on these here boards!

Then I explain that I don't have to make any plans, have ANY schedule, can do or see what I want AND meet some awesome people in the process (have actually hooked up w/another single a time or two)... That's when they start to get it. You can get seated@ resturants w/o ressies, CM's seem to go out of their way to introduce you to other guests (even tho I've never met a stranger and have no problem talking to anyone), you can plop your butt on a resort barstool @ one in the afternoon and no one will complain... That's how I like my WDW vacaations!
Originally Posted By WDWdreamin I usually say, "Yes, yes I am. And I'm very excited about it. It's going to be great!" and then I walk away. I like the things about how I'm not forcing them to go.

It's always the same stuff over and over again (and for a lot of annual visitors, I suspect that's true). Given a chance, I'd go to Hawaii every year -- different islands to explore, different places to snorkel or dive, always a chance of seeing something new and different. Not sure I could say the same for my 100th trip on Pirates of the Caribbean.

Originally Posted By CMDad I have done a lot of traveling since I was a kid so it's not like I have been going to Disney at the expense of ever going anywhere else. Of course, now I would like to go to Paris (again), Tokyo and Hong Kong. Why ... you ask?
