My hubby was sceptical before our first trip too- it seems like a place for little kids. Make sure to some "adult" romantic things at WDW and he'll see that it is a special place for ANYONE. The California Grill is a great idea, (yummy food!) but it isn't that different from taking him to a really nice restaurant somewhere else. Do it, but still, You need to get him in the parks to "sell him." The World Showcase at Epcot is beautiful in the evening- everything is just glowing. If you like mexican food, the San Angel Inn in the Mexico pavillian is all dark inside (romantic) and the ceiling is all stars. Ask for a table by the water. There is a river that winds around the restaurant. (It's a ride) If you ride the monorail from the contemporary into Epcot, that is sure to impress him. It goes all through the park and you can see everything. You mentioned that he likes thrills, so you HAVE to take hime to the Tower of Terror ride at MGM Studios. It is so much more than a ride. The holograms, floating ghosts, and theming are sure to impress him and he'll leave smiling. It's unlike anything anywhere. I would do the Magic Kingdom only after you know you've sold him on Disney, because it is the most "Kiddie-ish" I can't get enough of it, and my husband now appreciates it, but being a tough guy, he wasn't into it at first. He loves Animal Kingdom, MGM, and Epcot. When you stay at the Contemporary, see if you can do some resort hopping, for an hour or so, and show him other great places to come back to on a future trip. The monorail goes right to the Polynesian and the Grand Floridian. You can hop off at each and explore, and try to get over to the Wilderness Lodge. That one usually knocks the socks off most guys. Well, I'll quit now- I just wanted you to know that I started with a sceptical husband, and I kept getting him to come back. Now he loves it as much as I do and we've been Disney Vacation Club members for three years now! Good Luck & Have Fun!!!
. What should be on my list to convince my husband that we need to do this more often?? We are staying at the Contemporary and going to Calif Grill one night. ...(no baby on the quick trips)
