. I like my alone time, but I've never done anything like this alone before, mainly because I do have bouts of agoraphobia where I find it literally impossible to talk to a stranger, and because I'm directionally dysfunctional and can get seriously lost very easily.![]()
At any rate, the more I thought about a solo trip the more I came to like the idea. I figure at Disney World the getting lost thing is not an issue since all I have to do is catch a bus to the theme parks. DW is set up really nice in that way, I wouldn't even have to worry about getting to and from the hotel from the airport. The only issues would be if I "froze" due to the extreme shyness/agoraphobia and the fact that I'm not a fan of flying and have never done that alone either.
However, I am determined to overcome those fears and do a solo trip in the future.My trip for October with my parents and best friend is all set up, so I can't cancel that on them, nor do I want to, but I am looking forward to a solo trip after that. I love the idea of being able to do what I want to do and not have to accommodate what everyone else wants to do, and being able to just slowly take everything in - my dad is a "rusher", determined to see absolutely everything even if it means not getting to actually enjoy anything, and since it's my friend's first time ever at DW my dad will be determined as ever to make sure he sees everything.
Sorry about the rambling, just thought I'd mention this is a great site and I plan to utilize it for tips and ideas for my future solo trip.![]()
I am "directionally disfunctional" too (love that term!) so my tip for you would be to not stay at the Poly or POR. I love both resorts, but they are very easy to get lost at. The signing at the Poly leaves much to be desired, and the paths around POR all look the same to me!
