Another bump!!! Now that we are past the surge of fall/December travelers I think its a good time to see if people will pick other months. Although its really clear that food and wine and mousefest are the front runners.

I have to admit I'm glad!!! Food & Wine is my favorite time of the year to go.

And FYI you can pick more than one season...but only at the time you vote.

I like October as long as the storms steer clear. The problem with early December is that with Mousefest happening at that time, although there are lots of DISers around, yet another meet might be too much and conflict with Mousefest activities, leading many to just not show up.

I originally suggested an "Annual WDW Solos Meet," but responses were for almost every month of the year, so nothing ever came of it except individuals meeting for meals when around. I hope you can put something together.

I voted for Dec also based on Mousefest dates. I tend to like smaller meets where I can be with a smaller number of people. Those shy people can get very overwhelmed by the large meets. So, if they can get to a small meet, then meet up with some more 'experienced' folks, they can then tag along to the larger meets and be a bit more comfortable. It worked for me.

Actually its your original post that inspired me. The individual replies really muddied up the waters. With this poll you can see where the biggest draws are for solo travelers. F&G, F&W and Mousefest/Christmas. However even with this poll people don't realize they can vote for multiple months so its still skewed towards people's next trips rather than the times they would go.

I can see the problem with Mousefest. Essentially that is one big meet. One way to get around it is to pick one of the mousefest events as the meeting place for a build up event towards the Solo Meet at a different time of year. The other thing is to avoid equating solo and single. There definitely is a difference and working the "single" angle reduces the number of people who might want to attend significantly.

Now the problem with this meet is that people have different schedules. I'm hoping people can come up with a way to handle that. I have a notion about it but I need to stew on it a little more.

That is why I always referred to "WDW Adult Solos" and never "singles."

Like macraven, I was unable to vote for multiple months. It was only accepting one selection.

 

[doubletrouble_vb]

Strange...I took the option for multiple votes...and even voted multiply myself.

Darn, dh is a teacher, and I go to college. I will not ever be able to go when you all want to. Hmmppph.

Mousefest sounds like fun, too, but it is during finals for us. Gonna have to make a DIS educators get-together.

 

[twotoohappy]

I guess there are other options like Jellyrolls.

I voted May (star wars weekend/Memorial day ), Aug, March, but I'm always there for the first week in December! (12/1 - 12/9)

 

[doubletrouble_vb]

bumpity bump...seeing the usual pattern of a surge at the most recent available travel month.

ba da bump

Well I can go to a dis meet for solo's any month so just post and I'll be there! My favorite months are Feb, March, April, May, Sept, Oct, Nov, and New Years Eve.

Another vote for an educator-friendly date! I usually go end of May/beginning of June (my school ends right before Memorial Day). That usually lets me hit the Flower & Garden festival *and* Star Wars weekends, and the crowds are usually quite reasonable. I'd love to go the 1st week or so of Dec, but that would be really tricky to schedule.

And, while waiting for the "official" meet to get scheduled, anyone want to join me for a margarita sometime between June 4 and 8?

Yay! October was my vote and it's the most popular! We always go in Oct. for Food and Wine Festival and MNSSHP. It would be cool to meet up with others. DH and I are one of those young couples with no kids, and it's always fun to find others that enjoy disney regardless of anything else.
