**SOLO Central - WDW & DCL**

[linda0201]

Woohoo, arriving March 2, in the evening, planning to be in the parks the 3rd and 4th. First time solo, many times with the kids in the late 90's and until 2003. Can't wait, specifically wanting to visit Epcot's Garden Festival.

Hi I'll be solo on the WBTA in September. Then in WDW from September 24th for around 5 days, before returning home to Newcastle in the UK.

I'm not sure where I'll be staying yet possibly Pop Century as it looks like fun. I'm open to any meets that may be going on then

Hi there, this is my first post, but I have been reading everyone's post about going solo and meeting up with others while in Disney. I am planning a trip for later in the fall and would love to meet up with some people. How does this work. Help me

That is a good question..
I have no idea..
i posted months ago..
and..no one contacted me..
must be my breath.
I would assume the way that it works is...
If someone is going to be there the same time as you are,
and..you fit their idea..of companionship...
they would pm you.
But..I think you may not be able to pm[private message] anyone..
until you get 10 posts..
so..start posting.

That is correct!

Sometimes the reason for lack of response is because the OP doesn't reveal enough about him/herself. Age is a factor for some, but a way around that is to post a recent photo (not more than a couple of years old) so each person can determine whether they might feel like they are park-hopping with their mother/father or not, and whether that would bother them - lol.

It also helps to give an idea how you like to spend your WDW time - leisurely or fast-paced, thrill rides, shows, parades, reliving your childhood with characters and old favorite attractions, people-watching, counter service or sit-down restaurant service, your favorite park, and even whether or not you smoke. If you are willing, it never hurts to include your occupation and some of your non-Disney interests. There may be less hesitation to hang out with a stranger at WDW if they share common interests in addition to Disney.

You may or may not get lucky enough for the perfect park companion to meet up with you. Sometimes it's just bad timing. So don't get discouraged. I've met a lot of great people through the boards, including my best friend of several years now.

OK, sooo,

I amend my first post

I will try to broaden what I first wrote. I am a 30 year old woman who LOVES Disney. I am booking a trip for the fall (rather flexible when I go due to work) and would love to meet some new people who are also solo-ing at Disney! New friends are always the best.

I love to run around the park and try to do everything....BUT I also like to take my time and savour it as well. Which is why I can be a blast to be with. Each time I go is like a new time.

I'm getting the Disney itch again, and this time it looks like it's just me, which is a first for me. So, I would LOVE to meet some fellow Disney singles

Thanks

Sounds good. After you have 10 posts you should be able to communicate via private message with other DISers.

Also, it may be a good idea to post again a bit closer to your visit, as there are many here (especially local solos) who may be visiting the parks and might like to meet up when you are here, but can't commit this far ahead.

Thanks for your input Much appreciated!!

I'm Bill and have never been to WDW solo...but this year (as I will turn 40 along with MK) I am planning on going in December if all goes well. Maybe sooner but not sure just yet. I'd rather go on or around my birthday but we'll see.

Hi there...I'm going Solo this year too..well in the pre-planning stages that is

Winter escape--Disney take me away!

Have visited Disney solo and with family and friends 12 times so far. Making next solo visit Feb. 5 - 12, 2011. Would like to share the fun and sunshine (I hope) with other solo travelers. Love the parks (not a huge ride fan but I'm a pro at holding backpacks), love the shows, love the parades, love exploring the hotels. Super Bowl is Feb. 6, hopefully the winner will "go to Disney" the next day. Looking forward to R&R and would like to meet some new folks too. Enjoy your trip--I can't wait for mine.

Bill,
Lime green ribbons have been used by The DIS people for years to identify each other. Wear one if you want to say Hello to other DIS'ers.

Just a few months ago, someone on The DIS came up with this really neat idea.
Go to your nearest Home Depot store, and go to the area where they sell paint.
There should be a display for Disney paint. All the swatches are in the shape of MICKEY heads. There is a perfect lime green color called "Alien Green". These are perfect to cut out and wear on your shirt.

I'm going to wear the lime green MICKEY heads WITH my lime green ribbon dangling from it.

Thats awesome!! Never knew of this before!! My sis and I are going to WDW in either march or april and will be sure to pick up the swatch before we go!!

Heya Lauren, Im also from Australia (Brisbane, born in Tasmania!) and doing a solo around the states. Im currently working at Big White Ski resort in Canada and finish up here in April and then hit the states for 3 months. My trip sounds kinda like yours but just at a different time. I am doing 10 days at Disneyland and working my way to WDW for 17 days with stops all around the states as I go. I finish up in Canada again and the head back home via a 3 day stop at Hong Kong Disney. We should stay in touch as I might be able to give you some ideas about places I go to and I have a few contacts around the States which always helps when traveling alone. I am excited to be doing this solo as I have always traveled with friends/partner and being single now makes it very liberating just to go where you want when you want (selfish I know but everyone should do it alone once). Im sure your gonna have amazing fun. I wish I could have added a cruise on as well but I will save that for another time. Feel free to pm me if you want.

Catch you, Marc

Hey everyone!! Well I finally feel like I've recovered from my December trip to WDW with my 5-year old and right now putting the final touches on my (first ever) Solo trip in March!!! Im still nailing down the dates but looking at firming it up for March 2nd - 6th. Im staying onsite but torn between going back to CBR or doing maybe Beach Club or Contemporary.

I don't really know how all of this works (and I did check my breath already...lol), so Im putting it out there if anyone would like to do brunch, dinner, a night out at Downtown Disney, or just share a scream on the Tower of Terror, Im definitely open!!

Ok... soooo about me.. 38, from Brooklyn NY living in NJ, work as a Tech manager, LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVES Disney almost to a fault... Im a tall black woman, if that matters and in all the years Ive been, have never done Epcot World Showcase, so I am very much looking forward to experiencing that.

Anyhoo... reach out if anyone is interested...

Hi I am from NJ and love Disney. I am the guy who knows all the lines to each attraction's script and stay from morning until closing. I will be heading down in either late March or April and would love to spend a few days in the park with another Disney lover. Well, I guess we all are if we are here right? I am very open minded for anything, love to laugh and act like a kid but don't worry I know when to be serious. I work hard so I need to play easy so what other way to do it? I am open with my dates and have a yearly passport so I am ready. I hope to hear from you soon so feel free to PM me too.. Have a magical day!
