safety while traveling solo

[jamstew]

I’ve been to Disney World solo twice now and I’ll be there for the first four days of my December trip solo. Things I’ve done at Disney while there solo:

Not even thought about room location – just took what was given and went on my way. First solo trip I was at All Star Movies in the Herbie section on the bottom floor. Second solo trip I was at POFQ on the 3rd floor of Building 1 – one of the furthurest buildings out.

Not worn a wedding band and never got hit on by strange men.

Stayed at parks until park closing and used Disney transportation to get back to my room.

Walked up and down the river at 12 – 1 am at POFQ after returning back to my hotel from the parks to unwind.

Went to Adventures Club at PI and stayed until closing at 2am. Sat out at PI waiting for the bus back to my resort – by myself.

Seriously, the thought never once crossed my mind to worry. I’ve lived by myself for several years now. It was no different being at Disney than doing my normal daily activities at home. In fact, I did feel safer at Disney due to the fact that there are usually CM’s around somewhere most of the time. Even the nights I’d walk up and down the river at POFQ, the water taxi would be passing me by every few minutes.

As someone else stated – just use common sense.

Ditto 100%, including walking the river at POFQ after midnight I will admit, however, that I never went to PI, but otherwise I'm right with you. I do request the top floor, but only because I don't want people tromping around over my head
