Doing WDW solo 101

[pumpkinfish]

Hey all!
In Spring I'm ditching the hubby and heading down for a weekend to wine and dine by myself for the Flower&Garden festival (actually DH will be busy with the fire academy and not able to come). This will be my first solo trip to the world.

I would love to hear some tips for how to plan my weekend. Currently I'm trying to choose my resort Pick my resort here over on the resort thread. I'd like to try new experiences that maybe DH might not enjoy. I was thinking the tea over in GF...but what else?
Don't worry, when I finalize my dates I will post them so hopefully I can meet up with some other solo Disers who might be around .

i make a list of things i always wanted to do but my family didn't. i do those things first. maybe it's a food place you always wanted to try or a ride that no one else has patience for. the point is, this is your trip! do want you want to do. on my 1st solo trip i did the KTTK tour but my trip was longer than yours. i wouldn't necessarily carve out time for a weekend trip. sleep in if you like...get up at the first sign of sunlight if you like. watch every show/parade...whatever you want.

Hi, pumpkinfish,

You might be interested in my current series on traveling solo to WDW over at my blog, SoloFriendly.com. I've only got part 1 up right now, but the rest will be following shortly and throughout the month of October. If you have any specific questions about a solo trip, let me know and I'll try to make sure I cover it.

Thanks for your advice Candice! I think you hit the nail on the head. I was talking this over with DH over dinner last night and he said the same thing :If this were me going solo, I wouldn't make ANY plans. Just arrive at the resort and go where the wind takes you." Very profound insight from my DH
I have done the KTTK tour with DH years ago...BUT I haven't done the Behind the Seeds...DH thinks it's boring stuff in The Land. I think I'll start making a list now so I don't forget

Really liked this article. Well written. As a solo Disney traveler, couldn't agree more with these tips~ Oh - one more - download a game on your cell phone. (I personally recommend ZUMA) This really passes the time in line. Send pic messages to your friends/family at home. Makes you feel connected!

MEK - Great advice! Would you be willing to go add that comment at my site? I'm sure my readers would appreciate it.

I'm hoping to post part 3 this weekend. Please feel free to add any comments or advice you have on the various topics as they come out. It'd be most welcome.
