I will gladly go on Tower of Terror, but I'll have to pass on Rockin' Roller Coaster, it makes me positively ill .... (I am going to try Star Tours though)

Omg you can't be serious???? I could go on it a million times...

Funny story, when I was a cm we would go on RnR after our shift ended and one night I knew the manager there. We rode the coaster at "test" speeds (what they run it at every morning....80some miles per hour instead of 60...I guess if it runs at 80 it runs at 60) What a cool experience!!!

Do you have any clout down there now? I would love to do that.

Um i know a few people, but not there anymore. And it was the last ride of the night with no guests...

I have a very good friend in guest relations at MGM and his wedding gift to me (back when I was married, haha) was as Grand Marshalls in the parade and then a private viewing of Illuminations. He's super cool!!

[ANTSS2001]

Hey, is it too late to put in my dates? I'm camping solo from Dec 4-Dec.11, have no ADRs (simply can't make up my mind, and trying to save $$$$). Wouldn't mind joining up with some fun folks.

My sister and I will be at WDW Oct 17 to Oct 21, then Member cruise, then back to WDW Oct 25 to Oct 31.

We are doing MNSSHP on Oct 18.

Just curious, but how do people enjoy solo trips? I could, MAYBE, see going to a park for one day. But muliple days?

It's weird, because if you told me you back packed through Europe by yourself, I'd be like, "WOW, that's so impressive."

But something about going to WDW by yourself...roaming those big massive parks alone...going on rides and watching parades and eating alone...something about that just seems...not fun whatsoever and utterly, utterly lonely. And this is coming from an only child who is used to and quite comfortable with being alone.

We enjoy solo trips by using this thread, and similar ones, to plan to spend lots of time hanging out together at WDW, so that our "solo" trip is actually a group trip! That's what this thread is all about!

Well said-Daisy. Solo, but not alone!

I agree with what Colette and Daisy said. We have our time alone but aren't OBLIGATED to hang out with anyone. So if I want to spend a few hours walking around magic kingdom alone I can! And if I want to be there at the butt crack of dawn, I can!! I have gone on too many trips where I have to things other peoples way.

Hi,

PacMan, I just want to echo what Daisy, Colette and Penn just said. A member of several Disney fan web communities, I have enough friends so that when I am solo in WDW I never feel truly alone. I am not an only child; I have a brother and sister who are respectively 14 and 16 years older than me, so for most of my life it was just my mom and me in the house. Incidentally, my brother and sister-in-law also love Disney, having visited WDW about 30 times since it opened in 1971. My sister has never been there.

I enjoyed it alone myself.
It feels a lot safer. When I spent 4 days in Cape Town by myself, that made me feel a lot more lonely and on guard then my week in Disney this past January. You an do what you want when you want. I have never felt weird going on rides by myself or at restuarants.
