Sorry you can go. But if you change your mind, there are a bunch of us going. So I 'm sure you could find someone to hang out with.

I know the problem, and my advice? Don't let other (or the lack of others wanting to go with you) stand in the way of your own plans and wishes! I mean, if you don't go, you'll miss out on the thing you'ld love to do because of other people.

Allthough going with others definately has it's benefits, going solo also has it's pro's. You can do whatever you like, don't have to think about any other person and what they might want or dislike. Being solo does make it easier to get in contact with others, which can be a real bonus.

Somehow I always ended up with this problem. First with me only being able to get off from work at the moment my friends couldn't get out of there study. So I went to Greece on my own. Had a blast and because of going solo I ended up at a greek families home having diner.

In 2005 I was desperately wanting to go to Australia, but again; no one wanted to go or could/wanted to afford the trip. I went solo again, and am so in love with the place. I would have missed out on so much if I hadn't gone.

And now? I want to go to DWD, and most people think I'm ready to go into a mental ward. First of all, why go to DWD if you've got Disneyland Paris "around the corner" (well, 2 countries away), and second of all; why go to any Disney-thing for longer than 2 days anyway? So I ended up booking a solo trip. 8 Days of fun in September. On one part I'm a bit nervous, most of all because of it being my first trip with a new wheelchair. But my curiousity definately wins! I can't stop myself from drowning online in all kinds of topics to get into the athmosphere.

If there is one lesson I've learned; "it can all be over by tomorrow, so you'ld better start living your dreams today. " And let's be honest; isn't it better to have some doubt and/or fear and overcome that, than not going and having to wander what could have been? What's the worst thing that can happen if you go alone? You won't like it? Doubt it! You might find you're not a person for solo trips, well OK than you'll know for sure but still had the disney-time.

I'm being a bit of a copycat, but I would have to join the others and say; go!

Honestly, if you want to go to Disney - GO! Don't let others ruin a trip that you want to take. So.. maybe you'll end up hating it going solo.. but there's a really good chance that you won't hate it at all.

My first solo trip occurred due to pure stubbornness on my part. I had a trip planned with a friend and just after I made reservations she bailed on me. Another friend stepped in but that friend also bailed on me one week before final payment was due. I wouldn't have dreamed of taking a solo trip - I mean, what fun is that - right?

But I had been looking forward to the trip for months and my stubbornness refused to let me drop the trip just b/c my friends bailed and guess what – I had a blast!

Sure, I don’t want all of my trips to be solo but I’ve learned that I still really enjoy myself with or without family/friends there.

I understand that not everyone would have fun going solo but you just seem that upset over your situation that I advise you to go and see for yourself if you enjoy a solo trip or not – you won’t know until you try.

And, as Glendamax pointed out below, there are several Diser’s going in Sept. Here’s an opportunity to make new friends.

I have been to disney a couple times myself it is awesome the second time I went to disney then went on the cruise alone! It was great and you never are alone with all the people there most of them are crazy about disney too and will share in your excitement! But then there are the times you can meet up with people from the boards I did this last year and had a great time! Just take a chance and do it! I am also going in Sept but with my daughter and two grand daughters.

Well, I should also mention that it no longer becomes a "cheap" vacation if I have to pay for the entire room myself - that's almost 1,000. So I really couldn't even go alone.

well instead of 7 nights go for 4 nights! At least you get a mini vacation!!

Hi neighbor!!!

I agree! 4 nights at Pop, or one of the other value resorts.

Totally agree!!
(AND the Pop has a great pool bar, lots of Diser party people go there!!)

I stayed at a value in May and had a great time. It was clean, safe, convenient and most importantly affordable!

I say you should go alone. I'm going on my first solo trip in July and I'm excited. One is because I've never eaten alone (I canceled my one adr in May because I was too scared to do it!) and can't wait to just "spread my wings" a bit. I'm also excited to do just what I want to do when I want to do it.

Also, I don't think you'd be too lonely. I know I've never met a stranger and will talk to any and everyone I see--- I never got any weird looks in Disney world and had a lot of great conversations/met new people.

Good luck in whatever you decide.
