I also think if you go to WDW truly solo...with no intention of meeting other solo travelers off a site like this, something about that seems....odd, lol. I am not knocking it at all, but something about being in that big massive park seems lonely, even amongst millions of people. I think maybe it's because you wouldn't have anyone to share the experience of a ride with. Or a parade. Or someone to turn to and say, "OK, so where to next?" or "Wasn't that amazing?!"

I used to feel this way...but my perspective has changed....I enjoy having my family with me and riding rides together......but sometimes it's just plain nice to be on your own. I don't find it odd at all and I find it impossible to feel lonely. In fact I went to Cedar Point last weekend by myself and had the most enjoyable conversation with a couple that lives in the area...we were in line for an hour and a half and it seemed like it passed in minutes. Going on a trip solo gives me the opportunity to see and do things that I might not get a chance to do with a group...plus I can go at MY own pace. I guess what I'm saying is...don't knock it until you try it.

I think we are going to PI on Friday night, but Thur night is Cast Member night, so it gets a bit busier. I would be up for that!!

Oh and if you have anything in mind for those nights for dinner, I'm in. I love a good bottle of wine!! I haven't made any adrs, but want to do Le Cellier and Coral Reef but I haven't tried some of the resort restaurants either.

That goes for anyone here!!

 

[DisneyBride'03]

I have no ADR's made yet either...however if I dont do parks..my choices will be limited to resort locations, which I love Coral Reef was great btw!

I loved Coral Reef too...unfortunately I did it after drinking half way around the world, so I remember very little

But I am open to resort locations too, I will be there for 9 days and won't be at the parks all the time, plus I have a rental car.

ETA if anyone is interested in doing the tea at the GF, I think that would be fun!

[DisneyBride'03]

Lol 2 little TS credits...spend them wisely. I still am deciding whether or not to do the DDP. I did it before, but I am afraid of wasting credits when I'm alone! I don't know how I will like eating out alone.

My birthday is Dec 10. I have a ressie for 'Ohana for 5, hoping some of my CM friends will come out! But if not, I am still going!!

I'm doing the tea on 12/16 before going to MVMCP.

I had to do the DDP since there is no way I will ever do it again if the tip isn't included and it's only a buck less. I will post my ADRs again, and see if my dates jive with anyone else's plans.

12/12 dinner Narcoosees
12/13 late lunch Sci-Fi
12/14 dinner Kona Cafe
12/15 dinner Chefs de France
12/16 Afternoon Tea at Grand Floridian
12/17 dinner Spoodles

December will be our last DDP trip. I just don't think it will be worth it anymore

 

[DisneyBride'03]

Last DDP trip here as well...this will be the third time...worked out great...but now we want to take advantage of the kitchens in the villas and the new program isnt worth it to us. They should have left it alone I loved the all inclusive aspect to it.

That's another reason for us also. We have plans for at least 2 trips next year. 1 of them will definitely be in a bigger room than a studio, which will mean cooking & staying in the resort.
