How many days - Solo?

[boomhauer]

Does anyone else find that they need far less time at Disney when travelling solo? When I go with my family, we always allot about 10-12 days, since we do special meals, dinner shows, etc. However, when I go solo, it's basically theme park commando, which I love as well. However, I find that in about 6 days, I've done everything, at least once, and then some.

Anyone else feel this way?

Oh yeah, I feel that way.

Basically, less time having to wait for someone who isn't enthusiastic about the trip. And less time trying to decide what attraction to do next.

I WISH I had more time than 5 days, but I certainly think I can get a lot more done in that time without the family tagging along.

I am going on my first solo trip in Dec (7,8,9) arriving at 9:30 am on the 7th and departing at 7pm on the 9th. I would NEVER do this short of trip with my kids. Sleeping is just an option on this trip!

I agree. When you're on your own, you usually have a plan in mind and with nobody tagging along, it's easy to get it done - at least that's the way I find it. Also the shorter solo trips allow me to experience more trips!!!

So Dan, does this mean there's a solo trip in the making??

Maybe. My wife gave me the option to go in May when she goes to Maine. However, I'm seriously considering going to Disneyland, as I've never been.

I agree that going to WDW solo and not doing anything special I can "do everything" in 4 days. I have gone for 7-8 days and taken tours or gone to the outlet mall. I have been to Universal once.

As a side note, I grew up close to Disneyland and even with CA Adventure you will see everything in 2 days if going solo If going on a less busy day you can almost do it in one. I went in May with 5 adults, 4 kids and my mom in a wheelchair for 3 days. We got it all in and we rode California Screaming about 8 times!!!!

So if going solo for a week (to So Cal) I would plan on including Knotts Berry Farm or going to the beach there is lots to do in the area
