Favorite things

[Tygerlilly]

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm planning on my first solo trip next year around marathon weekend.

I'm curious, what is everyones favorite thing to do on a solo trip? Anything not too expensive would be great, but any advice would be helpful. TIA!

I am not a solo pro, but when I do go solo I don't really do anything that costs extra. So none of it is too expensive for me! I do stuff like ride my favorite rides more than I would have with other people, or find my favorite spots and hang out there (like the fountain of nations in Epcot). I also skip rides/places I dislike that I would have had to do otherwise (Stitch in MK, or all of Animal Kingdom). For me it's just more of a "go at my pace/do what I want/eat where I want" kind of thing.

Have a fun trip!

I love to leisurely saunter back to my room in the morning with my morning mug of tea, enjoying the grounds, and smiling to myself that I am not one of the tired, haggard parents (or grandparent) trying to get kids to breakfast or the parks!! At least not that trip! Take time to stop and smell the roses!! It's free!!

I love doing the backstage tours. Some are rather expensive, others are more afordable depending on your budget (I think Keys to the Kingdom wasn't too bad pricewise).
The other things I love are browsing the shops at DTD and World Showcase. My favorite thing is to end a day at MK by waiting around after Wishes for the Kiss Goodnight and then be able to enjoy a walk down Mainstreet when the crowd has thinned out.

Free of Charge: I like to <visit> the deluxe resorts during the heat of the day near the park I'm in that day B4 heading back to my home resort (POFQ) for a break and poke around...each one is unique and interesting in their own way.

*If I'm staying at deluxe resort, I like getting up and making coffee in the morning, and not feeling rushed to go anywhere. I'll just sit on the porch and take in being at Disney.
*I love night EMH, and will stay at the park until it closes. It's just a magical time to be in the parks.
*I wander A LOT. Again, I don't feel rushed to do anything/everything, so it's great just being able to be there and have no real commitments.
*I don't do ADRs. If I feel like having a sit-down meal, I almost never have a problem walking up and being seated. But it's rare that I feel like having a sit-down meal while being solo.

Other than that, I'd echo DisneylandForever's post. The whole thing is to have fun doing what YOU do!

Those are all really great ideas! Just reading some trip reports theres a lot of things I never knew existed. I'm stoked!
