I have been watching the rates and saw Enterprise went down quite a bit today. We will be there May 11th-14th and I was able to reserve a full size for $23.00 a day. I believe it was up in the $60 range as of the first part of this week.
The main reason for going to Universal Orlando is of course Harry Potter attraction. I had booked the Hard Rock Hotel to take advantage of the early entrance time. I arrived to the hotel about 2pm and was able to check in and settle into the room.
Hotel is beautiful, room was amazing. Sorry...
I had made ADR for Shula's Steakhouse at the Dolphin Hotel for Monday night. I drove down and parked in the self parking lot, unlike the WDL parking here was $15 a day to self park. It had started to rain on the drive over so I had to dodge rain drops while walking up to the hotel. Made my way...
Sorry about the delay with a new post, have been busy at work.
After leaving the AK I headed back to the rental car and down the road to Disney Hollywood Studios. I was eager to visit this park, I had been there back in the late 80s when it was still Disney MGM Studios but other than the...
Seemed like quite a few others had the same idea as I did as there was a pretty good number of people walking through. I can only image how crowded it would be on a busy day/time. Good amount of animals out and about still at this early time.
After finishing the walk I decided to head...
I had been looking forward to Monday probably the most of any day and visiting the Animal Kingdom park since it would be something completely different for me. So I was up early and out the door of the Lodge room by 7am.
Quick and easy drive to the AK parking lot and parked in a completely...
When I made it out of the Bear Country show it was dark out and people were lining up for the parade. I went over to the Haunted Mansion and walked right on, ride was about 2/3 full. Ride again had a few minor differences from the Calif version but equally as fun. I worked my way back to...
Around 6pm I headed out to the MK. I stopped to take a few pics on the way down the boardwalk to the boat dock.
Waited about 10 mins for the boat that runs back and forth to the MK. Skies were still overcast and it was a little breeze but rain had held off all day. Boat ride takes...
So now I was finally on the road to WDW. Down the Turnpike and onto I4 looking for exit 67.
And then this beautiful sign. I must be getting close.
And this one letting me know I was Home.
Sorry the pics from the car weren’t the best. Driving, navigating and shooting pics at the same time...
As I had mentioned I had a free flight on Southwest. I was using up the last of their older flight credits which give you fewer options on seats and flights. I usually try to fly out of John Wayne airport since it is closer to me and much quieter but for this trip LAX just had flight times that...
Thank you for taking a few minutes to read about my trip. As the title suggests it was a solo trip. Hopefully it will help with a future trip planning or inspire someone to take a solo trip.
Just to provide a little background about myself, I am a single 40something living in Anaheim. Living...
