Universal Solo??

[Kath2003]

I am thinking about doing 3 days in Orlando solo. I'm only really interested in doing Universal& IOA...has anyone done solo before? What's it like?

I do it all the time since I decide at the last minute to run over. I like going alone so I can do what I want...when I want.

Do you have any questions I can answer?

Cool, what do you do by yourself? I mean I can see riding the rides but then there's no waiting around for anyone else etc. I'm wondering whether it's worth paying the admission or whether I should spend more on a hotel and spend 3 days by the pool

Oh I have no problem doing Universal by myself. I've only done it once or twice.

I got there super early, walked straight to the Mummy. Believe me.. being the only person in the queue and on the ride can get to you. Probably the best experience I've had on the Mummy ever.

I would spend two days at the parks unless you're going to skip a lot of the rides but staying onsite is a great idea too. You can take your time and hang out at the pool or whatever you wanted.

Staying onsite isn't an option. I'm looking at $50-100/night.

That's OK...there are plenty of hotels in the area that offer shuttles to and from Universal in all price ranges.

Ooh perhaps screw the solo part; my friend just seemingly jumped at the chance! Can anyone recommend a good hotel for 2 girls near US for $50/night or less? We're not picky, just as long as it's clean!

There's a Days Inn "Caravan Court" right across the street from Universal off Major Blvd. I stayed during HHN and I payed $47/night last time. It was from a Roomsaver coupon of course

Next time I stay onsite I am going to have to ditch everybody and do this. This sounds really cool to me.

Oh to be young and single to be able to jump on that opening

I am staying at one for 35 dollars a night in May remind me about June and I will let you know how it was.

Some I have found in that area ... well

Currently looking at the Wynfield Inn, any experiences? Not expecting any frills whatosever!

Did you try the universal package deals?

The Wynfield is above our level Kath. All we look for is a clean place to take a shower, rack out, get ready for the next day. We don't spend much time in the room when we are in Orlando.

We don't intend to spend much time in our room either; what kind of places are you looking at? I stayed at the Best Western Plaza a couple of years back and that was fine but that was about $15/night more than the Wynfield.
I tried that site but it wouldn't let me select NOT having a car so we fell out. Is there a way to try it without having a car?
