310.0. "Convincing other people to visit Disney" by LABC::PENN (Equestrian Lady) Thu Jun 11 1992 13:05

    Hi,

    Help me. I am getting DL withdrawals.  Its been almost 3 years since I've 
    been to DL.  I WANT TO GO.  I want my husband to go with me.  We live, 
    maybe, 15 miles from DL, so it would be a one day outing.  He doesn't 
    want to go.  He says he doesn't want to wait in the looonnnngggg lines.  
    I wanted to go for my birthday in May but we ended up at the S.D. Wild 
    Animal Park.
    
    We will have days off July 6th week.  I would like to go one day during 
    that week.  What can I do to convince him that going to DL would be fun?  
    And what day of the week would the best day to go?  I know the schools 
    are out and families are on vacation, visiting So. Calif, but I still 
    would like to go.  
    
    I have been bringing home newspaper articles on DL and items from this 
    conference, hoping to get him excited about possible going, but it hasn't 
    helped.  
    
    I welcome any and all ideas.  Thanks,

310.1some ideasSALEM::BERUBE_CWhere do you think you are? WDW!!Mon Jun 15 1992 08:5115
    Linda,
    
    It's a lot easier convincing someone  who is not sure that they want to
    go, then someone who just plan doesn't  want  to  go.  You could always
    try some of the suggestions mention in other topics like
    
        - Watching some of the Animated Clasics
        - Visiting your local  Disney  Store,  while  doing a mall shopping
          trip
        - Just happen to be looking at you old photo's/video's some night
    
    Although you'd probably be better  off  going  with  a  friend who also
    enjoys Disney.

310.2Go with someone who wants to go!BROKE::LUNDTue Jun 16 1992 09:479
    
    I'd opt for the find a friend that wants to go and have a really great
    time, rather than drag someone that doesn't want to go. Perhaps you
    can choose a "Let's do our own thing day". Let him choose to do what
    he wants and you go to DL with a friend...

    Hmmm... That close to DL and not visiting it in several years....

Sacrilege!!  I can't image anyone not wanting to go to Disneyland.  Too bad our
vacation time didn't match up - I'm always ready for a visit with Mickey.

However, I do have to agree with the previous replys.  When my husband has given
in and gone somewhere he'd have preferred not to...neither of us enjoys the
day/event.

Good luck!!

>>Sacrilege!!  I can't image anyone not wanting to go to Disneyland.  
    
    I can.  What I can't imagine is anyone STAYING with someone who didn't
    want to go to Disneyland

310.5Husband also doesn't like DisneylandCARMEL::KATIEFri Jun 26 1992 16:1419
Hi,

My husband isn't one for D-land either.  We have been argueing for a year over
whether or not to go to WDW, (my parents recently moved to Orlando). 
We have compromised, and I am taking our 9 month old son in August when we
will be doing his annual active duty.  I really wish that he would enjoy Disney
as much as I do, but I have found that if he does something that he really 
doesn't want to do, neither one of us have any fun, because he spends the day
complaining about the lines, how expensive everything is, etc....

We spent Thanksgiving in 1989 at Disneyland, got a nice package from the Magic
Kingdom Club, but still he complaned about everything.

I am looking forward to seeing my parents and spending lots of time at the 
Magic Kingdom, epcot..... etc..  just the baby and me.

310.6what day???LABC::PENNEquestrian LadyMon Jun 29 1992 16:1715
Here's the latest.  I have been bringing home all the notes regarding FANTASMIC.
The son went and said the show was great, so now hubby would like to see the 
show but still isn't interested in the lines and crowds.  But, he is now 
willing to go, (I didn't have to plead or beg-I just said I would find someone 
else to go with if he wasn't interested in going with me to the best place on 
earth). :-) 

We did compromise, we will spend some time during our vacation, next week, 
doing somethings he wants to do and we will spend time during somethings I 
want to do. DISNEYLAND!!!

I can't wait.  What day of the week do you all recommend as the best day to go? 

Thanks,
Linda
310.7End of the weekVISUAL::SCOPAI'd rather be in OrlandoMon Jun 29 1992 16:202
    Thursday, Friday, and Saturday in that order.
    
310.8Saturday at DisneyLAND??MR4DEC::AWILLIAMSSome imagination, huh??Mon Jun 29 1992 17:566
    re: .7
    
    Is Saturday really that good a day to go to DisneyLAND??  It seemed
    quite crowded when I was there a few weeks ago.

310.9Big Crowds This YEarVISUAL::SCOPAI'd rather be in OrlandoTue Jun 30 1992 06:5712
    Skip,
    
    You may have a point there. Some of the people I work with just came
    back from a show in Calif. and they were amazed at the crowds.
    
    "Fantasmic" may be causing some heavier than normal crowds especially
    at night. 
    
    Still, I'd opt for a Thursday or a Friday as my first
    choice....Saturday would be my third choice.
