June 2006 Adults and Solo Travelers

Hey, Sandy...
Yes it was on the hot and muggy side, but I've had much worse weather in June. We only really got drenched once (and you missed that one, lucky girl!). Yes, folks --stop at the dollar store and stock up on ponchos before you head down!! *and* remember to carry them with you once you pack them. That's the step we left out.

Hmmm, hot and muggy sounds like it might be perfect for wet and watery rides.

Just got back from a trip to Vegas, where it was 99 until it rained. Then it was soup.

Thanks for the reminder to pack that poncho, tho. I've read where rainy days are some of the best touring days, and I'm pretty waterproof. (Most of the time )

Well, "hot" makes for good water ride weather. If it's *too* muggy you never dry off and that's pretty awful after a few hours. And you're right, when the rain chases people away in droves it makes for much more reasonable lines for the rest of us. I come from Seattle originally. As I said in the 3WW trip report, it's only *water.*

WHHEEEE! I just purchased my entry tix and reserved a night in the Pop Century on Sunday. It might be foolish, but I'm going to try to tour one of the parks on Sunday afternoon after I get in. I'll have about four hours, I think. Then all day Monday, drive 2 hours after the parks close to work, work two days, then another day to play before going home.

Couldn't get a resort hotel for the last two nights, tho, darn it. Guess I'll stay at Downtown Disney. At least I'll have a car already.

So true about not drying off. I'm just used to hot desert heat. You wet yourself down and you're cooler and dry in just a few minutes.

Hey, in Jan I flew down from MA to spend a day at WDW, so I think your plan sounds entirely logical. Have fun.

Glad to know I'm not the only one. So do most of the rides have singles lines? I couldn't find anything in the Unofficial Guide except a brief mention of them. Seems like the guide was written for families vacationing.

Well, E:E had a single rider line in January, I can vouch for that. I assume they're still using it. (I was with other DIS friends last week, so I didn't look for it). Test Track and Mission Space have single rider lines. Soarin' and ToT usually look for people to entirely fill each load, so they'll call out for parties of certain size...you just have to pay attention.

Have fun!

ECK! Ain't no way, no how that I'm going on ToT. BIG fear of falling. Sounds like it's pretty doable to hit everything I want to see in Epcot, MK and AK in two and a half days, then. Thanks Coaster and everyone who've been so helpful on this forum answering my newby questions!!!!!!
