I'll be heading down to WDW at the end of June with my DM, My Aunt and Uncle and my Cousins (11 and 12) both of which have never been before!
I haven't been down in about 5 years so I'm really excited! We'll be staying at the Dolphin as my DM and I love the area (We've both stayed along with DD(DF?) and DB at the BW and the BC).

My DB doesn't want to come this time (he doesn't feel the magic :() so I'm a bit worried about being the only one in my age category to be going.

I'm not worried about what to do at the parks and such it's more of what to do at night or on a day we may not head to the park.
I don't necessarily want to get stuck with the two boys but I feel like at only 19 I will have no choice since I'm still "too young" to get into places like Jellyrolls.

Any ideas on things I would be able to do?
I'd like to spend maybe an evening or two solo traveling but I'm just not sure if there is any point since I'm still under 21.
 
Well, you're not completely SOL, but I've found that if you're staying at one of the value resorts (POP, All-Star) you'll definitely find yourself out of place. As a 20-something tagging along on a family trip with my two nephews I've found my options to be less than spectacular as far as activities go within the resort as it is definitely aimed at younger kids and families. Granted, a lot of that is because I'm a guy and automatically give off a "creeper" vibe whenever I do so much as walk around the resort to go get a meal or, heaven forbid, decide to take a dip in one of the pools.

All that aside, Downtown Disney will probably be your best bet. There are still attractions that you can take advantage of (Disney Quest, movie theater, etc) that don't have any age restrictions and are plenty safe for people your age. I went solo to Disney Quest way back when I was only 14 and stayed all the way to closing time then hopped a bus back to the resort.

You could also look into getting a pass or two to Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach. I haven't had a chance to go to either but it seems like a decent alternative to hanging around the pool at whatever resort you're staying at and will get you out and about.

Hope all this helps and you enjoy your trip!
 
Disney Quest does sound like a good idea, I haven't been there yet (stopped in once on my last trip but parents rushed my DB and I out). I haven't really spent much time in Downtown Disney either for the same reason and would like to explore it. I always seem to forget about that place :scratchin.

As for the water parks, I will have 6 Water Fun & More passes (we bought 6 park hopper/water fun non-expiration for my last trip and ended up with a bunch leftover, including all the water park tickets :thumbsup2) I've never been to either of them before so that could be a lot of fun!

Thanks for the ideas :)
