I'm here solo, after my mom had to cancel. I'm on day 2, after arriving yesterday midday. Not sure if anyone cares, but here my thoughts.
1) Holy cow this place is crowded! Yesterday (Sunday) was nuts. I was expecting that, and I know DL is physically smaller, but there were a lot of people.
2) Single rider is the best thing ever. I've never gone alone, so I've never tried before, but it was awesome. I used it for California Screaming, Matterhorn, Splash, Soarin, and Indiana Jones. So, I did well for arriving at the busy part of the day on a Sunday.
3) The outdoor queuing is intimidating, and would be miserable if it was hot. I suppose with this weather, you can do it, but I'm so used to indoor lines with AC. I think it makes the crowd feel worse, since no one hides in line.
4) Rope drop is awesome. This is obvious, and true for WDW, but I've never truly done RD (my family is not big on mornings). I rope dropped Pirates of the Caribbean the Haunted Mansion. Who does that? Lol. But they were my remaining must do rides, and the lines were crazy yesterday.
5) DL PoC is amazing. No other way to put it.
6) I didn't love the HM holiday layover, but I wanted to compare to WDW.
7) I had a corn dog from a stand that left me feeling I'd never again experience true happiness. Then I had the Carthay Circle biscuits. There's crack in this DL food.
8) Touring alone is a blast. I'm doing much more than I expected for what will be only a day and a half. But I'm really glad I came even though my mom had to cancel.
Maybe more as the day goes on.
