We are going to WDW in December:

I'll be there December 16-23. I will have two other women with me but only for part of the trip; I will be solo the rest of the time. I'm not sure yet how much solo time I will have - the other two are still finalizing their plans.

This will be my first solo trip, and I'm really looking forward to it. I love visiting WDW with my family, but it's going to be great having some time in the World all to myself!

I'll be down there December 20th - January 11th!

Hopefully there will be some good meets during that time!

PM me if you are interested in setting something up.

I will be down there the 20th-Jan 1st with my family, the 28th-Jan 6th with my boyfriend, Jan 7th-11th with my brother and WISH Walker buddies!

Hopefully lots of people will be joining in on the Christmas and New Year's Fun!

Hi;

I will be staying offsite (Orange Lake) from December 18 to Jan. 1. First time I've stayed during Christmas. I always come a week earlier. As a disappointment, Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party's evening program's last night is December 17. I've have to see if I can arrive a day or two earlier. Do they have a special program for Christmas eve? Christmas day (other than the parade)?

I will be there 12/2 until 12/7, trying to decide if I should do the MVMCP on the 2nd or 3rd.
This will be my 3rd trip during the Holiday events and I am looking forward to doing it solo this time.

C.Ann

I'm hoping to be there Dec. 2nd thru the 7th and would like to do MVMCP possibly on the 2nd..

I'll be totally solo - first time - and would love to meet some other DIS folks there to say hello! :)

It sounds like several of us will be there solo on the 2nd. Anyone want to try to do MVMCP together?

I already have my ticket for Dec. 2 and may also be solo would love to meet you guys..........I usually make PS for 1900 Park Fare for about 4pm then catch the monorail to the park for the party but am open for other ideas. More than likely I will be solo, just waiting for a friend to make up her mind!

When are you going? I'm actually planning on being in Florida on Nov. 30th, but thought I would spend the first few days with my sister up in Lady Lake.. May also add a day on the end if possible..

Almost sounds like a mini meet in the making here.. :) Are all of you staying on Disney property? I'm hoping to get that elusive email and if so, I'll try to get a room at the Pop Century.. Otherwise I'll be staying offsite in the cleanest, cheapest, safest motel I can find..

I'm staying at the WL and have the MVMCP tickets for the 2nd. At this time it looks as though I will be solo, no prince charming, but maybe that will change :D And my girlfriend has not given me a concrete answer YET. But I will defineately be there, have not missed a MVMCP in many years!
Perhaps a mini meet maybe in order......keep in touch
iamchyam@hotmail.com make sure to put MVMCP in the subject line so I don't delete it:) Also I am in my 40's and still love Disney!

Wll my "solo" trip is no longer solo - LOL - but I'm still up for meeting with folks on Dec. 2nd - at the end of the MVMCP (so as not to have the meet interefere with peoples fun/family time)..

I have suggested we gather at the train station near the exit of MK while everyone else is making a mad dash to the parking lot and busses..

If you're interested, please PM me.. Doesn't matter if you're solo or with a gang - I'd LOVE to meet you!::yes::

--------------------------

I have one of those cute lime green Mickey head paint chips from Home Depot that I'm going to write my user name on, but they're pretty small and not visible from a distance so I'm thinking about purchasing the DIS lime green fanny pack before I go..

What will everyone else do?

EileenAmI
08-10-2004, 12:32 PM
Well, you could always dress in lime green, but then you would look like a giant fruit! I'll either wear a lime green ribbon somewhere, or maybe try and find a pin. DH and MIL will probably think I'm nuts, but they already think that anyway!

I'll be there November 25 - December 5 for my annual solo trip and thought this year I might actually look into meeting up with people. I would be interested in the MVMCP on 12/02.

Is there a thread started for the 12/2 MVMCP?

Thanks!

DH can't make it this year, so I'm going solo! I spent a solo day back in May, and can't wait to have some more time to myself.

I will be arriving Dec. 10 early evening and leaving Dec. 15 in the morning. I plan on doing MVMCP on Sunday, Dec. 12. I also have signed up for Jim Hill's Magic Kingdom Tours - Presented by DisneyCentral.com Sunday morning.

If there are any solo's out there for this time frame, I would enjoy meeting anyone!

KittyKitty, I may be going to the 12/9 MVMCP solo as well. Not 100% sure yet. I'm going on the 7th, but may pick up the 9th as well, but it will be a last minute decision after I see the Jellyrolls schedule for the week :)

Also, if anyone is interested, I am still planning a Jellyrolls meet on December 10th at 8:00 pm. Guaranteed to be a blast :)

Will be there 12/10-12/14. My birthday is on the 12th! First time solo at WDW, will be on the lookout for anything fun to do, and will probably make it to PI at least a couple nights. Staying at POR.

Roseann67
10-16-2004, 08:50 PM
G'day. I will be in WDW from 5th Dec - 10th Dec 04 staying at Pop Century. This is my first overseas trip from Australia.
Jellyrolls sounds like fun - not sure what it is though.
I will be doing the MVMCP on the 7th and have PS for CP at 5:30pm
Anyone care to join me?

I'll be solo in the world Dec 19-23rd. Not sure where I'm staying while I'll be by myself, but my boyfriend will be joining me on the 23rd for the rest of my trip. If anyone is interested in meeting up for dinner any of the nights Dec 19-22nd, please let me know. I haven't made any definite plans as of yet. But I'm going to get started looking into making some PS's right now - or at least attempt to. :D

I'll be there solo from the 12th through the 18th. Two days at PO-Riverside and the rest at BCV. My first truly solo trip. I've had two trips where I had a day or two to myself before others arrived, but this one is just me for almost the entire week. (I have an uncle in St. Petersburg who plans to come out for a day.)

I'm having fun planning it, but not planning the park stuff so much, I've seen it all except for the new Stitch. But I'd like to actually enjoy the resorts a bit more, sit on a beach for an hour or two, go out at night and enjoy it instead of being tired from on the go all day long. I have an AP and am a DVC member so this trip really was already paid for except for the flight so I'm looking forward to a relaxing trip at Disney. That will be a change.

Actually, one of the two days I had solo in August was very relaxing. It was the day after I had flown down. The day I got there was the morning after Hurricane Charley, so I spent about 8 hours of that day in Washington D.C. trying to find a connecting flight that wasn't cancelled. I made it about 10PM to the resort, so the next day I treated myself to a massage at the spa at Boardwalk. THAT WAS RELAXING. I couldn't bring myself to go on any rides after that, my body was too relaxed to ruin it! Definitely plan on another one of those this trip! :hyper:

Sorry for the rambling! Long story short, that's when I'm there, if anyone wants to say hello, feel free!

Hello! You are going at the best time to enjoy the resorts! I could plan an entire vacation around visiting the resorts and enjoying their Christmas activities!

I will be there Dec. 10-15. It's my favorite time of year. You get to enjoy all the festivities, without the Christmas rush!

Have a great time!

Hello! I'm afraid I will just miss you! Arriving on the 10th in the evening! Jellyrolls is a bar type atmosphere with dueling piano players. I've never been, but it sounds like a whoot!
The parks are beautiful at that time of the year. Have a wonderful time!

I'm planning on MVMCP on 12/12, probably EPCOT on 12/13, Jellyrolls on 12/14th (cast member night) DEFINITELY (and maybe again on the 15th and 17th, cause I LOVE it there) and Pleasure Island on the 16th (cast member night). It's a solo trip, but if any other solo-ers or non-solo-ers are around those nights and want to join, feel free. This is a solo have fun and enjoy stuff I don't get to enjoy when concentrating on parks trip! :)

I just love this board..... I'm leaving for my first solo trip in two days. My husband and adult sons act like I have three heads wanting to go to Disney by myself. I felt like the ugly duckling and then I found this message board with all these beautiful swans --- just like me. :cloud9:

After all the trips with various combinations of people -- husband/kids/parent/girlfriends of kids etc, it seems like such a wonderful indulgence to go by myself.

Hello from NJ! New to these boards, but loving what I read. Visiting solo, my first trip ever, at the Dolphin from 12/12 - 12/15. Would love to hear from others (any age, male or female) who would like a companion for dining and/or park hopping. Celebrating my 40th birthday would be a lot more fun with other Disney fans in my favorite place on the planet. See you there!

Hi,
Will be there Dec 10-13, staying at AKL. First night just my sister and me...then 2 gal friends join us (from Tampa). We're definitely doing Fantasmic and Osbornes at MGM on Sat and CP with dinner on Sunday at Epcot...but the rest is open. Couldn't get tickets for MVMCP on Friday evening so MAY go to Islands of Adventure on Friday.

If these times jive with anyones...maybe we could do a breakfast or coffe meet on Saturday morning? I'll make sure to pick up my lime green ears from Home Depot!
