I am going to WDW for a conference. My 13yoDS was afraid of missing to much school work and didn't want to come (yes, I too think he is responsible but crazy - but I love him anyway). I'm getting there early the day before the conference and leaving late in the day after. During the conference, I'm meeting up with friends. I was struggling with what to do when alone - after all I have the unique oppurtunity to do things my son wouldn't want to. All I could think of was explore future world. Your posts gave me some other ideas to consider. Thanks - and keep the ideas flowing!
