I'm considering spending a long weekend in May but it will be solo since none of my friends schedules line up and I've already started planning and budgeting.

I should have time to hit all four parks but I was wondering if I'll kind of stick out in Magic Kingdom as a solo adult? I'll probably spend the most time in Epcot or HS anyway, but was curious if others have done MK solo and if they felt kind of the odd one out being around so many families? I was probably going to get dinner at either Steakhouse 71 or GF Cafe beforehand since I didn't love the sit down options available at the park and this is definitely a "treat yourself" kind of trip. Then ride a few rides, watch the fireworks and then head back to Coronado Springs Tower.
 
I have an annual pass and frequently go to all the parks solo. I've never felt odd or out of place at any of the parks. Honestly, I think most people are just concentrating on themselves/their own families and don't really pay a lot of attention to other folks as long as they aren't acting weird or inappropriately.
 
I don't travel solo but I'm often in the parks solo since my travel companion (my sister) doesn't have my superpower: Special Disney Stamina.

At any rate, I've never felt uncomfortable in any of the parks or anywhere I've ever eaten solo at WDW, including character meals.
 
I’ve done three solo trips, and I visited MK each time. I never felt like I was sticking out being solo. And I saw plenty of other solos each time in MK.

I never felt like others around me were judging or wondering why I was there alone

I did find that I’d start feeling sad about being there alone if I let myself start comparing myself to other family groups. But if I focused more on the Disney magic around me, I was having too much fun to worry about it.
 

There are a lot of people who go to the parks solo, for various reasons. I have never had an issue going to any of the parks solo, and I have never seen a solo guest in the park and felt they looked out of place. People can also be in the park with a group, but riding attractions solo or shopping solo, as not everyone can or wants to do the same things all the time. Have fun on your trip and don’t give it another thought.
 
Multiple solo trips to WDW, you’ll have a blast! Only ride I feel a bit odd on is IASW, idk why but nothing else feels weird to me.
