With the Black Lives Matter movement making agencies think about diversity, I thought it would help Latin Americans as well. Unbelievably, people STILL think it’s okay to broadly assume Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans and Dominicans are not “qualified” to work in advertising. Look https://joinfishbowl.com/post_gkppjui

I am 100% with you! That's why they say to always have that "travel talk" before you travel with someone. You want to see if your definition of vacation aligns with theirs. If it doesn't, you'll both end up feeling frustrated and Discontent.
You need to do things to create separation that makes it clear that you don't always need to be and don't intend to be on their timeline. It's your vacation too.
When they tell you that they're all going to meet at 6 AM to line up at the gate, have your partner tell them that you guys are going to grab brunch and then meet them. Plan little things to break away to make them feel like you're not theirs to control.

lol … OP - my question is did you know about this prior to marrying your partner? Idk if it would’ve been a deal breaker but it would be something to consider and/or address prior to.

These are not vacations, these are pre-planned sadistic torture trips.
So I am that guy. We always go with my parents. I tell my parents to just text me when they get to the park and then we meet up. If they get in at 11 then they get in at 11.
There are different types of vacations. Some you sleep in until noon. Others you get up at 6am. Suggest your type next time
This is hell, and the fact it’s at Disney, next layer of hell
I wouldn’t go lol
You rather sleep in and deal with the long lines and crowds? Just go to bed earlier.
Oh he can, just don’t expect the family to repeat what they did in the last 5 hours, every day, so he will miss out on those activities, if that’s happy to him go for it.
I hate theme parks in general. I do not want to spend the day waiting an hour or two for each ride. And they always want to go on the busiest days and wont leave until its closing time.
Also the real funny thing is they make fun of people that lineup/rush for sales on Black Friday. Running to the next ride carrying a churro is no different than them 🙄

You're not travel compatible. That's OK!
Whether vacation or a day trip, I am not one who wants to have the day(s) crammed with so much you can't enjoy each moment. Nor do I want to spend so much time at one thing (in a museum, etc) that you don't have time to see other things in that museum or whatever. I like it orderly without pressure but also want to take in as much as possible without being overwhelmed.
You are an adult and in control of your own vacation — practice in the mirror if you have to: “Have fun! I’m going to sleep in tomorrow but I’ll text you when I get there to meet up!”

That is the delicate dance my wife and I go through on all our vacations. I’m up at dawn, roam the city until 8 am, and I stop and get coffee for my wife before I wake her up. One excellent way to have the best of both worlds is to rent a canal boat. The go getters can start the engine, cast off, and you can stay asleep in your bed.

I was told years ago that being close friends with someone doesn't mean you can travel well together. It's so true. I had a huge argument with a friend who travelled like your in-laws while I am more of your mind set. I was so stressed and exhausted just trying to keep up with her. And didn't enjoy the trip because I was so exhausted and cranky. And I'm sure she will have equal dislike towards me for being low energy and cranky. I like a holiday where you relax and enjoy the time away. Both of us are right, we just like a complete different holiday pace. We are still friends, I just won't ever travel with her. You could find a way to bring up what you enjoy for a holiday and maybe suggest you have days you do things together, but other days where you do your own thing. That way, both can be happy. Good luck.
My parents are: we do this and this. And this and this and this.
I’m more a fly-by-the-seat-of-the-pants type gal.
If you’re going to some exceptional place - anywhere in Europe for instance- it’s good to research in advance and know what your options are, but not to have a rigid Plan that you must follow or else be deemed a party pooper.
The other problem is, it has to be what my mother wants to do. What I want to do, what my dad wants to do, what any other siblings want to do - are definitely out. She’s rarely accommodating. And if you’re going somewhere you might never be again, that can really stink.
Best times I’ve ever had on vacations were with a friend who, like me, would just pick stuff to do on the day, or else wander and explore. There was no Plan and neither of us controlled it.
I wake up at 5am daily and love Disney. That being said, I would never do what those people do 😂
