leave for my 1st solo trip Sunday morning...any recommendations?

[MonkeyPants]

Been down to WDW many many times, but this will be my 1st solo trip, I'll be down there for 12 days. Work has been draining and then some lately and so this trip couldnt come at a better time in my opinion. I mostly plan to just try and relax, but anything you'd recommend for a solo traveler to check out that a group might not think to do?

I highly suggest doing the Segway Tour..It was sure a blast for me! I also did the luau but it kind of made me sad solo...Ride your fav rides as much as you want...sleep late...stay up late....watch fireworks everyday from a different and kewl place...like the Beach at Fort Wilderness....take a ferry to just enjoy the breeze and sunshine....watch the kids at magic kingdom as they first see the Castle....Dinner at Jiko was nice...they put me at the appitizer bar and I talked to lots of solos and chefs....

I spent one "alone day" on my last WDW vacation and it was wonderful. I slept in, relaxed by the pool for the morning (can't leave Florida without a tan ) and just wandered around my resort. Then, it was off to Epcot- my happy place! My favorite memory from that day is watching the dancing fountains from a nearby bench while enjoying a frozen coke. I also took lots of pictures. Ohh. . .now I wanna go back! Hope you have a great time

My last visit was a solo visit. Not a suggestion really, but something to keep in mind....I found I got to meet and talk with alot more of my fellow WDW visitors than if I had been in a group of friends.

Standing in lines, waiting for a parade or Illuminations....I took initiative and struck up many conversations with folks. I found that I had the luxury of being alone when I wanted and needed to be..but also had great conversations too.

Monkeypants... If you're interested, there are a few DISers meeting up for Illuminations on Tuesday night (Jan 16) while you're at WDW. We're planning to meet at 8pm in front of the Rose & Crown pub at Epcot. Hope to see you there. Have a great trip!

This will be both my first time at WDW, and a solo trip as well.
