Solo Nights

[patm95]

Hi all. I’m going to be in Orlando for a few days for work in a couple of weeks. Wondering if anyone had some tips for solo evenings at WDW? I have an annual pass so not much is off limits. Can’t be on property until 5-6 pm. Definitely want to do the starlight parade. Would like to have supper somewhere on property every night. Any ideas??

I would base your dinner reservations on where you plan to spend your time, since that time will be limited. For example, if you want resort dining, choose a resort near Epcot on the evening you are going to Epcot. If it were me, I would stick to QS to have more park time since you are getting there so late in the evening. If you are planning a night time activity, like Starlight, make sure you allow enough time to get from your dining to the parade route or plan to dine afterwards,

Thank you. Yeah I’m leaning towards quick service as my time will be limited.

If AK park hours are late enough while you're there, seeing Pandora at night is really cool. The Tree of Life light/ projection show is fun to see too.

Seeing any of the parks at night is fun though. On my last trip I did MK in the evening and rode the People Mover a couple times just to enjoy seeing the park at night.

I really liked the Starlight parade, so I think your idea of doing that is a good one.

If it was me, after working all day I'd choose things that sounded relaxing.

That’s a great idea. I’ve never seen the tree of life projection show! I’ve also never seen pandora at night. Flame tree is one of my favorite places to eat too.

If staying on property or close by, I'd likely maximize my park times, if you can find something you like to eat in parks, go that route - or pop over to Disney Springs after parks as it provides a lot of additional restaurant and dining options. If you're way off site, where the drive back is going to take up 30 min or more, then I'd probably stick to eating in parks. I'm more of a table service guy for dinners, so I tend to book those - either in park if there are good options, or at neighboring resorts I can walk to for dinner from the park of the day.

Epcot's new central area lights up nicely at night, and the Luminous show and Spaceship Earth projections are cool; and the AK night lighting if you catch the late open days. MK is always a good choice for the Starlight parade.
