I visited WDW solo this summer (2010). It was amazing! I could do what I wanted when I wanted. It was the perfect trip (with one minor exception). I camped at fort wilderness. I was little worried about staying their by myself but it went well. My only complaint is that I am not a morning person and I didn't have anyone with me to make me get out of bed. As a result, I didn't get to see any rope drops. Next time I will take a better alarm clock.
Top ten moments from my solo trip
1. single riders line for everest! Rode it a billion times in a row. The wait for non-fast pass folks was about an hour. The single folks like me had less than five minutes depending on how luck you got. It helps that the single riders line is kinda hidden and hard to find. Ask a cast member if you can't find it, soooo worth it.
2. sitting on the beach at fort wilderness with a lovely adult beverage in my hand watching the fireworks. It was such a nice night I wish I could have stayed their all night.
3. I didn't feel obligated to go to the studios, my least favorite park
4. I didn't feel guilty about going to Animal kingdom and Epcot every single day (my two favorite parks)
5. Followed a friends advice and rode the rides during their down times. Rode the rapids at AK first thing in the morning while every one else was at the safari. I was able to stay in the same raft and ride on through a second time because their were 0 people in line! In the afternoon that ride and a monster of a line. Rode the safari when everyone else was watching the parade ect.
6. second in line for thunder mountain! I missed the rope drop on the early hours, but only some parts of the MK was open anyway. When I arrived the rest of the sections were just getting ready to open. I joined the crowd gathering at the ropes and had a great cast member who promised that her groups always gets there first, but don't even think about running or try to pass her or she would whoomp you with her umbrella.
She was the fastest speed walker I ever met. I stuck to her like glue and was rewarded with the second seat on the first ride of the day for thunder. 
7. none of my ususal travel mate like to try different types of food. I got to pick the restaurant every single time! My fave was the sit down place in the back of morrocco.
8. all of the wonderful people I met and random conversations with really kind hearted people
9. park hopped to my hearts content
10. When I got home, I love the look in people's eyes when I tell them I went on vaction by myself. It is usually a combination of amazment, pitty, surprise and envy that they don't have the guts to to that. They have no idea what they are missing
