All alone in the Parks!
Recently went on business trip with husband in Orlando, only had one day to spend at WDW.
Ended up going by myself, and had the best day ever.
Does anyone else have a better time by themselves, sometimes?

At least there is no arguments about what to do first or where to go.
Sounds nice.
Itchy for another trip

When my boys were teens I would end up going to Epcot by myself while DH would take them elsewhere. I loved it. I noticed things I never noticed before.
Your attention please, the Walt Disney World Railroad is now boarding for a trip around the Magic Kingdom

ive had company, and gone solo. i have had a blast both ways, but something about a solo trip is amazing. nothing like riding what you want, when you want, as many times as you want...eating what and when you want, and spending as much time at one place as you want. while eating a meal alone can sometimes not be as nice, solo trips are still awesome. something about WDW makes any trip amazing...
wonder what it is...

I can't imagine going solo-- I am a HUGE wimp and will skip a meal rather than eat a meal alone...but I admire your independence and am happy that you had a great time!!!

Me too! Just can't do it. I can't even go to the grocery store alone. I think, though, that if I were by myslef for a minute or two, like while DH is taking a potty break I may take the time to soak in my surroundings more...

solo time is okay for an evening...but so much of disney (to me) is enhanced greatly by spending your time there with people who are special to you.
There's a great big beautiful tomorrow

I had an entire afternoon alone in DTD. The others pooped out after breakfast at 1900 Park Fare and a couple of rides (losers). So, they went back to catch up on sleep and I went on more rides in MK and then went to DTD shopping. It's amazing how quickly I could move and did some serious damage at World of Disney...not to mention Ghirardelli's!

That's what I'm thinking too. It kind of depresses me thinking about walking around Disney alone. So many of my warm, loving memories are experiencing the magic with the people I love the most. But, I've never tried solo, so I can't say for sure!

solo
I've been twice by myself (work). I never went to the parks, but spent time riding busses/monorails/boats, visiting resorts, talking to people on vacation, DTD, etc. My favorite thing was just sitting on the beach at Poly watching Electrical Water Pageant and Wishes - something the family wouldn't do (although I prefer being there with the family).

I would appreciate not having to make multiple bathroom breaks or havint lagging children or grandparents, but I guess the beauty of that is that i need to relax cause i'm at WDW

Wow, good post. I haven't tried it, but I think it would be nice to have a short trip, maybe 2 days-alone. Like others have said, you can do/see/eat/ride what you want. Go to the bathroom when I want, spend as much time in the shops as I want.
I really enjoy going to the movies by myself. It bothered me at first, but then I realized how awesome it was!
I enjoy going with my DH and the boys, but if I had the opportunity that would be a nice trip!
Ahh, I can only dream....

One of my best memories!
I absolutely love to "share" WDW with my family, especially my kids. To see it through their eyes is so special to me. But I had a chance to spend the day at DHS by myself two years ago. It ranks very high on my list of best memories at WDW ever! Just doing what I wanted, when I wanted was such a great feeling!

i know what you mean. there was one day it was raining and no one wanted to go so i got up and went anyway. It cleared up and i had the best time. And there have been other days where we've seperated for a couple to a few hours and i love going at my own pace... not sure i'd want to do it for an extended time, but i may find out soon. next september the girl i was going w/ had an accident, not serious, and won't be able to go. so i may just go alone for a week. i am kind of looking forward to just doing it at my pace.
