Solo Safe at Moderate?

[tinkergrumpybuns]

Even when I am with others, I wander out at the resorts alone to get a coffee, sit and just relax outside. I find most people are busy getting family ready to role in the AM and are friendly and cordial. I meet and chat with many at the pool. I find the best way to enjoy a trip alone is to have something to read during meals and something to make ( knit, sew ) at the pool.

Also, I drag a camera, and I end up taking neat photos of kids that are not mine... to not look like the " creepy alone person ( female)... I often will tell them I got a nice shot and give them a link to my online photo account.
I think guys might have a bigger problem with this , but I could be wrong.

Sometimes some people get really upset if you have their kid on your camera, and rightfully so.

One of my favorite new spots for relaxing, enjoying a show and good food is counterservice at Morrocco.!

I got back yesterday from a week at POR. It was my first solo trip I chose POR because last time, my family had stayed at POFQ and we always walked over to POR. I figured since we spent so much time there, I might as well stay there!
I was assigned a room in Parterre Place on the back side of the building facing a parking lot. I immediately asked for a different location, and was given a room in the same building, just closer to the bridge to the main building.
I usually used the South Depot...both the East and South were a 5-7 minute walk from my room. I opted for the South because there were more people there. The last night, I came back from MK around 10 and thought about getting off at the East depot...I decided not to as when the bus pulled up it seemed very dark and creepy, and no one else was getting off there. During the day, sure, but at night it just didn't feel right to me. I'm sure I would've been fine, but I opted to go to the South depot.
Now that I have experienced POR solo, I don't think I would again, given the size of the resort. I'd feel much better at POFQ since it is more compact.

Stayed @POR in Oak Manor for first time. I am a bayou gal, but sister must always get her way and thinks to the Mansion she is Born!
Personally, I like the bayou, and ask for room near the main building.

We finally figured out that getting off in front of the main building and walking across the bridge was as efficient as trudging from the outlying bus stops or taking the foot bridge thru the main pool area. Plus we had time to stop at River Roost or grab a coffee.

I agree, POFQ is a nice place too. Glad they are sister resorts.

I specifically go to Disney as a single because I have always felt safe there. I stay exclusively at POR.

I,m staying outside WDW Resort, but have asked the resort where I am staying for a room close to reception and not at the back of the place, just to feel a little safer.

I think your stay would be very safe but put your request on the DVC board. You will probably get one of the DVC resorts for cheaper than a value! Give it a try!

THANKS! I didn't even think of DVC point renting...assumed that would be pricier. I just floated over there and did the math...and it could potentially be more budget friendly even with adding QSD since I'd have to give up the free dining. AND...it looks as tho I could stay in the location I really wanted to in the 1st place...BWV or BCV.

I have to admit tho...I am a little skeptical...getting what I really want for less than my 2nd choice??? LOL...good thing I've got over a year to really ponder / research the benefits vs the risk.
