Wish I had somebody to come with me

I've been solo a few times, and will be back on May 9th for another solo trip. It's just different, but still loads of fun. You get more time for yourself, and you get to soak everything in. Don't ever feel bad about going solo, there's are lots of us like you

Hey

I'm thinking about going to Disney world in September but like you am a bit wary of going somewhere so family orientated by myself. However, I am encouraged from seeing how many people do go there alone from this site. If I do go, I would be up for meeting up at some point.

I'm a huge Disney fan and would love to go to Disney World. I don't want to go alone as that would suck but I have nobody that would come along. Any ideas?

When are you hoping to go?

 

[Kimberly Mitchell]

I don't have Disney friends so I always go solo when I can afford it. My third upcoming trip will also be solo. It would be great to have a Disney friend nearby, but it hasn't happened yet.

this post was from jan so arose1 did you go?

Im intrigued about this as well! I was super lucky enough to meet someone on Tinder (plutonic) who was up for a holiday and I got to go with him in May. But now I am back in the same boat of not meeting anyone etc to go with again so still trying to pluck up the courage to go alone next year!

There is a thread for Solo travelers, kind of like a meetup. Going Solo to Disney, or anywhere for that matter, isn't bad. I have been traveling around the world for the last 2 years all by myself (single female, early 60's) and have had a great time! There are more single people in Disney than you realize. You may meet a few while there!

Leagill I'm ready if you want, I don't have Disney friends so I'm thinking about going to Orlando in January or February (2016) ,
In the past I've been traveling solo most of time but now I want to share this trip with someone.
What do you think? =)

Hey Diego, whereabouts are you based? I dont think I could go as soon as January/February though sadly! Finding Disney friends is really hard isnt it! I think people dont quite get it until they go, but most dont want to go in the first place lol! Im a massive Harry Potter fan as well so Universal was a huge draw for me, and then I just fell in love with everything over there! Being in the UK is such a bugbear

Hello!
I'm based in Mexico City so isn't difficult to travel to Orlando however I can delay the travel if you are available between February and March.

You are right, finding Disney friends is almost impossible in my country and actually I've never been at any Disney Park( only Disney Paris) so my target is WDW, Epcot and both Universal.

Hope we can share a trip in the future!

 

[Leagill]

Ah you are lucky you are fairly near to Orlando then! Please do not delay any trips on my behalf, as currently I do not think I could afford anything as soon as those dates (I had a quick look in late Feb and the cheapest for Disney was £1500, and that's without park tickets etc!) Sigh! I am *trying* to encourage a mate to come with me, as that would make the whole trip a lot cheaper anyway (single supplements are cruel if you ask me!!) We shall see what happens! I hope you find someone to do your trip with! I will be jealous that you are going so soon!!

 

[I M Fearless]

In the UK too and have the same issues finding people who want to go as frequently as me! I'm off to LA in March so will definitely hit up Disneyland. Everything is so much more expensive if you go on your own though.

Going solo is one of the best things ever! It really is. I had the best time of my life on my recent solo trip in October. I cant wait to go again! I say give it a try.

 

[Ccane2001]

I'm ready to go back in 2016!

 

[I M Fearless]

I have been solo in the past, it's just the travelling that I don't particularly like, quite happy to be in the parks on my own, I almost prefer it, I end up talking to a lot more people and notice much more detail that I would usually miss.

 

[Ccane2001]

I absolutely love Disney world, I've been a few times with my parents and I'm ready to go back, but not too sure about going alone

 

[I M Fearless]

I'm heading to Disneyland for the first time in March, excited and scared at the same time, but I wanted to get there before the park is changed too much with the new additions that are planned. California is a long way from England though!

 

[Ccane2001]

I've never been to California, I've only been to Disney world in Orlando Florida

 

[I M Fearless]

Same here, been to Disneyland Paris and WDW plenty but never Disneyland in California - should be a blast but I'm getting a bit impatient as there is no planning compared to WDW. I would have done my ADR's months ago if I was going to WDW but I don't even know definite park hours yet!

For those of you on the fence, going solo to Disney doesn't "suck". Quite the opposite.

The interesting thing about trips to Disney is how it is different depending upon who you're with, or if you're on your own. Over the years, I've loved going with all kinds of family and friends: physically restricted older adults, infants, toddlers, school age, teenagers, just with the wife, extended family, co-workers and various combinations of the above.

One year, I was at a work conference at the Swan/Dolphin and it worked out that if I stayed over the weekend, I'd save enough on airfare that my company was willing to let me stay down an extra night or two. Bought my park ticket and I had a couple days solo. Loved it.

Since then, I've mixed in a solo trip just about every year in March, usually somewhere between 4 and 6 days, in addition to the family trips at other irregular points of the year. I find it very relaxing; I get up when I want, do what I want, etc. I tend to go on the cheap on my solo trips...usually offsite with a car and don't do table service onsite. Just personal preference; I'm heard of and seen many taking advantage of table service establishments.

It's also fun sometimes chatting it up with cast members when visiting solo...especially with the kids from World Showcase that are so far from home.

My main point is to encourage you to experience it. You won't regret it. Looking forward to the next trip...March 9 is sneaking up.
