My husband hates disney. Partly because of what it is, and partly because I used to work there and he gets jealous of my past. Now we have a 5 year old and 2 year old and I really want to take them there this summer for our family vacation. I think he needs to just get over it. Any ideas on persuading him?!

As you stated, Magic Kingdom is a must. It is the anchor. We are going for our 6th visit this year, and it will absolutely be on our list of must dos. Naturally, while there, you should do Space Mountain, Carousel of Progress, Mickey's Philharmagic and of course, the Haunted MAnsion (recently refurbished). Don't forget the parades and Fireworks. Best spot for the Parade at Magic Kingdom is just beside the Fire Department or across the street in front of the Barber Shop. Parades usually start or end there (they alternate). If they start there, the characters (while waiting to proceed) interact with the crowd more At Animal Kingdom, Festival of the Lion King, It's Tough to be a Bug and the Safari are musts. At Epcot, the World Showcase, Soarin' , Mission Space and Spaceship Earth. In my opinion, the best of the Fireworks Shows. Plus the Wine and Food Festival will be on and there are a bunch of great live acts that will be performing. Germany's Biergarten is the least expensive buffet meal at Disney. Although the Dining Plan (if staying on site) can be worth it. Avoid Stitch, Sounds Dangerous. You did not include Hollywood Studios. If you will go, check the parade route and set yourself up at the start. This year, the Parade is strictly Pixar characters. Indiana Jones, The Stunt Show, Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast are great shows. Take advantage Of Disney's Magical Express if you are staying on site. Which I sincerely think everyone should do. If you can, get to a store off property and stock up on bottled water, juice, snacks and fruit, which you can take into the parks with you. At $10.00 a day, a small refrigerator in your room can come in handy for milk (to have with cereal in the room for breakfast) and other perishables. The Water parks at WDW are great, although Seaworld just opened Aquatica. Don't forget Pleasure Island. It's New years eve at 11:00 every night!!!

Let your husband know that Disney has "grown up", because of the grown-ups that visit! Disney has a resort on-site that caters to both children and adults; when the kids are away, the parents can play! Also, let him know that the past is just that--the past. Whatever happened at Disney (I don't want to know--I have a vivid imagination!) does not impact the fact that you love him, and want to have a family vacation with him. Let him know that you want to have a good time with him, and want to make great memories WITH HIM. Good luck and God bless.

Ya instead of going to Disney World go to Disney Land or try a Disney Cruise. A Cruise might be better for him since you can put the kids in daycare during the day and youand him can have time spent together instead of always with the kids.

Gosh. Pretty easy. If the husband is part of the "family", then he should be happy with the "family vacation" or he is tagging along on your vacation.
A better way of phrasing this question is "How can I get my husband to do what I want instead of what he wants?"
If you hated going to hunting camp, how would you feel if he posted " How do I get my wife to go to hunting camp?"
If he hates Disney World, accept it and move on. Respect his feelings and views like you want him to respect yours. Is it worth breaking up the marriage over, because that is what you are working towards.

Just start setting everything up get the Hotel paid for and just tell him where you & the kids are going on vacation & ask him if he wants to go with you all if not enjoy his vacation by his self you & the kids will have a blast there...

What the heck did you do there that he is jealous of your past? I don't remember any wh ore houses or strip clubs there. Did you stand on the corner or do all of the characters in a big romp?
Otherwise, sounds like your hubby has some weird issues. I think he just needs to get over it. Maybe see a therapist....

same thing here! but with the help of my brother I finally could go to sea world with my man (we live in SD so it wasnt like WOW but something is better than nothing). my brother sent him 2 S.W. tickets for his bday and we HAD to use them for course. my bday is a month after his bday so i told him we had to use the tickets because a) it was a gift from my brother & b) it was a 100 dll gift!!! he was not sure about it but I drove us and we ended up having a good time at the atlantis :)
you kinda have to force him. tell him that your kids need some happy family memories or have your kids talk about it ALL the time.

Compromise. Go somewhere else. It doesn't HAVE to be Disney World, does it? Go to Universal Studios or something. While I agree he is being childish, sometimes you have to just compromise.

Tell him it is for the kids!
Would you take them on your own. That is ridiculous, that is a wonderful place for memories. Your past is your past and you are obviously still with him so he should have more trust in your relationship.
