I'm so bummed yet determined that I'm thinking of going by myself. Does anyone ever do that? Is it lonely saying "One" when they ask you how many in your party?

There must be a post somewhere that I haven't seen. So who's the axe murderer? Me, you or someone else?? LOL ;-)

Originally Posted By RoadTrip I went to Disney World once by myself for three days and had a great time.

I was also a little lonely in my room after I got back from the parks... especially since it was a time when they closed early. Then I discovered the pool bar and that solved THAT problem. Plenty of friendly Brits, always willing to talk!

If a man dines alone he's more of an intriguing "lone wolf" to people, lol (I heard/read this somewhere about the differences between the sexes in various areas).

Originally Posted By Disney Joy Oh the joy of solo trips. I love em...Well I love the one I had, AND can hardly wait for the one coming up next month. It is peaceful, and I am always so tired and walked out that I had no problems with boredom at all when I got back to the room and DL closed at 9 or 10 then. You're probably go alone and love every moment.

Don't get me wrong, I do love to experience it with family and friends but I love it enough to be happy doing what I want on my own in Disneyland too.
