First, I am a Disney veteran. My first trip was with my parents way back in the early 70's (back in the days of tickets). Since then I have probably been to the World 35 times and the Land 6 times. I am now 44. Yes, an old fart. I am male, have a Wife and two kids. My Wife has been to DW 4 times and the kids have been there twice (they are 14 and 9).
I have had the fortunate ability to be an employee of companies that ran conferences in Disney. This obviously helped with my number of visits. In fact, I even had a seasons pass for two years (I live 1700 miles away from DW) because I was there so often.
I love Disney. I still smile every time I walk into the park. This year, I have the opportunity to return after a three year absence. This is mostly due to a conference I will be attending. Unfortunately, it is not prudent to take my kids out of school (High School is hard enough without missing an entire week). I never had a problem with going it alone before, but for some reason I feel guilty this time. I have booked an additional three days after the conference to hit the parks and will probably do some nights (after the meetings during the day) during the week. My feelings are that I am staying on property and almost everything has been paid for. Why shouldn't I enjoy myself a little?
So my questions to the community:

So my questions to the community:
- Is it wrong to ejoy DW while the family is home?
- How wierd is it for a 44 year old guy to walk around the parks alone and have fun?
