Review my plan please?

[cheapi86]

I was unsure where to put this. But I figured since the is the solo traveler board I will get better feedback here. Thanks!

Hi everyone!

Today I sat down and wrote down a general plan for my trip. The OCD wants to have everything minute by minute. But I am going to have a lazy vacation this time (must not commando tour..must not commando tour....).

So I'm basically doing parks early in the morning. Nap/pool/shopping in the afternoon, dinner in the evening and parks later at night. I will be staying at the POR. I've heard mixed reviews about the buses. So I want to give myself plenty of time to get everywhere.

Please tell me if I've given myself too much time or if I will need more time than I have planned. THANKS!

Here are my plans. If anyone has any suggestions please give them

7/4-

11 am arrive at MCO, ME to POR. check in, etc
2pm- mini golf at winter summerland (I have a free voucher from AAA), afterwards head back to POR--get my room key if it wasn't available before. nap and then get ready for dinner
730- leave for GF. ***while I'm waiting for the boat to go to GF, could I see the 4th of july fireworks from the entrance gates?**
945- dinner at Narcooses, after dinner go back to MK, look around walk off some of that food and find a good spot for Spectromagic.​

Sounds wonderful. One of these years I'll plan a more leisurely trip. My history is to be at the parks from open to close.

Jiko to (I think) the Boardwalk would require a bus from AKL to any open park then a bus to Boardwalk. Or a taxi.

You should be able to check your bags with bell services on your check out day. That's what I do with my carry on. I check my checked luggage with ME before I head out to the parks my last day.

Sounds good, I always like the idea of having few "free days" when travelling

Just wondering, are you doing the California Grill and the mini-golf solo?

For last August, I asked about a solo reservation at California Grill, and they said they had no tables for one, and you had to have at least two people. Luckily I found three people to meet me there, so there was no problem. Were you able to get a solo reservation there?

Also, while you could play mini-golf by yourself, it would probably be more fun with others. Maybe some people from this board can meet you, if you haven't already arranged something....

I won't be there at that time, but your plan sounds like fun.

Yes, I was able to make a single reservation for California Grill. I know mini golf wont be the best of fun by myself. But I don't know anyone who will be down there at the same time..

You could start a new thread and see if anyone will be there that day and can meet you for mini-golf. Maybe a local person could meet you, if you can't find a tourist.

If I were going to be there at that time, I would have met you myself. I'm a big fan of mini-golf. I don't always win, but it's fun to play.

sounds like a good plan to me. you'll have lots of fun. i stayed at POR for my first ever solo trip and had a lot of fun doing what i wanted when i wanted. (check out my trip report below). i'm impressed that you are eating so many places alone. that is one thing that i didn't do at disney...i stuck with counter service places. but when i took another solo trip (this time to universal) i ate at restaurants alone and survived so i am anxious to try them at disney solo.

i planned out my solo trip and unfortunately didn't stick to plan and went commando and tired myself out the first 2 days. definitely like that you plan to take it easy. too bad i won't be at disney or i would meet you also for minature golf. i love minature golf though i am usually the one trying to fish my ball out of the pond. i am heading to universal with my niece this time in a couple of weeks. have a great trip!
