I'm not even talking just Disney here. DH never wants to spend any money on a vacation. We went on our honeymoon 11 years ago (Quebec City, 5 nights, at a B&B, we drove from Toronto). We went to Montreal for 3 nights 2 years ago (the only reason we went was it was for DH's grandparents memorials). We typically go to FIL's cottage for about 5 nights a year (cost - 2 tanks of gas plus a bit extra for groceries on top of our regular grocery bill).
Now, the cottage is nice, but I'm still cooking and cleaning. I want a vacation. We have no debt (no mortgage, no car payments, no student loans). We make decent amounts, nothing crazy but comfortable with savings. And he won't spend money for a vacation. When he again shot down a Florida trip (my parents have a house there - no lodging costs!), I suggested a 2 night stay at Great Wolf Lodge. It's a little over an hour from home. With the spring special is was going to be about $540 for our family (2 adults, 4 kids) for 2 nights (Sunday and Monday). We could take some food, eat out some. As I talked about booking, he shot me down. Again. He's fine spending money on other things, but I'm sure that a lack of desire on his part to leave home means he's unwilling to agree to spend anything on a vacation. Any suggestions? And please, no camping suggestions!
