I am gonna be staying on and off resort between 9/3-9/9, I am a photographer so I am travelling solo to take pictures of the parks/resorts but I would love to meet some new people and enjoy some of the magic together when I am not behind the viewfinder! Please get in touch if you would like to hang out.

For YEARS I've been going with my family to both WDW and DL, but from Sep 25-29, I'll be flying solo for the first time! Can't wait to do the things I've wanted to and they didn't, and even enjoy my first MNSSHP!

Just got home last night from my first solo trip! I can't even really describe how amazing it was. Had such a great time. Excited to start my first trip report soon and relive it all!

Well I sure am glad I found this thread!

I'm going on a solo trip in Febuary I was feeling a bit nervous about it but now I'm super excited! I don't know why I'm nervous I go to our local zoo on a regular basis on my own and actually prefer going on my own then going with someone.

I do still feel subconscious about doing table service.

The only thing that is awkward solo, is character meals, and some character encounters. I like having my picture taken with them, and therefore, you need to ask a nearby guest or cast member. Otherwise flying solo is a lot of fun.

Not to be the grammar police, but I think you meant "self-conscious".

That shouldn't be a problem, though, since at character meals I noticed they had character "wranglers" who were close by a lot of the time. You could easily ask them to take photos.

It'll be lovely to be able to have an up-to-date trip list in here... does anyone know who the mod is for this board?

It looks like the original poster hasn't been on since 2013, so someone else would need to take on this task.

Hey everyone I have a trip planned August 15-21. I was suppose to have family going with me unfortunately they are not able to make it. This will be my second solo trip, I loved my first one, being able to do whatever you want, but I also like meeting up with other disney fans! If you are there during the same dates I'd love to meet up and have some Disney fun! PM me or contact me through here and let me know!

I will be there August 13-18 and going solo. It would be cool to meet up and hang out! Never been to Disneyland California before

Actually, I think tydyend1 is going to be at WDW, not DL.

Heading back this November for my third solo vacation from the 17th through the 20th, staying at POFQ.

Hi all I just stumbled across this board while researching my trip. I'm an Aussie girl heading overseas after a bad break up to find myself again, heading to DL with friends but seems its MY trip also planning to hit disneyworld as well. Is it safe for a girl on her own to stay in all star resorts they seem a bit further out.
Also I will be there sept 29- oct 3. Thanks for the tips!

I've stayed at the All stars solo before and felt safe, just so long as you follow all the common scenes saftey tips of solo travel! I have heard one or two people say that they didn't feel so safe at all star music, i think it's not as well lit at night. You can always request a room in whatever building is closer to the front of the resort, as these areas tend to have more people in them, saftey in numbers!

Hi buttercup
Thanks for your reply I actually ended up booking Coronado springs, got an amazing price, looks amazing and fr trip advisor said might be nicer as has a bar and maybe more adults to meet. Not long to go now! Thanks for your help though

I am going on August 28th-31st solo. I would love to meet up with other people. I went once before solo and I felt really lonely. When I saw families I longed to join them.

I've only ever been to disney by myself. No one I know shares my passion.

You are just a few days away from your trip :banana:

yay! When you feel like joining families just take a moment to scout around to the ones with the child (both little and adult) having a meltdown. Or do what I do and think if "well if so-and-so" was here I wouldn't be able to....." and then go and do it! No one I know gets it either but that is why we the The DIS! I'm sure you're going to have an amazing time!

I'm at WDW 12th-29th of September if anyone overlaps? I'm very jealous of all of those going to Dapper Day! That is at the top of my to-do list!

MrLight · Aug 24, 2015

Well it's not quite as exciting as WDW, but I'll be soloing at Universal from 9/26 to 10/2, can't wait to see Diagon Alley for the first time!

I'll be there solo 6th-18th, i agree, so jealous of those there on dapper day! I'm heading over to DLR after and miss out on dapper day by one day! (though i hear some people still dress up the day after, so may dress up anyway!)
