In the spring of 2016, besides my usual annual visit to WDW, I spent a day at Magic Kingdom by myself before going to a conference in Orlando. I did whatever I wanted, had a table service dinner by myself at Tony's Town Square.
I'm going to have the opportunity to do this again in the spring of 2019. In late April, I'm doing a 10 day trip with my family (DH, DS8, DD6). I expect to do 1 day at HS, 1 day at AK, 2 days at Epcot and 2 days at MK. My parents will come down for the first part of the trip and another family with 2 kids the same age as mine are coming down for the second half of the trip. So we will have plenty of time at each park.
But about a week and half before the big family trip, I'll be going down to Orlando for a conference again. I'm thinking I really might enjoy going to the parks myself without other people ruining it with their wants, needs, opinions, etc.
There is a slight possibility that 1 or 2 co-workers might agree to join me in this adventure and thus ruin the solo "do whatever" vibe. I've already convinced 1 co-worker to go to WDW by herself last year and another co-worker to go to DLR by himself as well.
If I go solo, I think it will go something like this:
6 AM - Catch the early flight to MCO, only bring carry-on bags
8:30 AM - Land at MCO
9 AM - Take a black car to my conference resort, check in and dump my bags, take the same black car to a WDW resort (maybe Contemporary or Dolphin) or TTC
10 AM - Walk down Main Street at MK / Meander through the International Gateway at Epcot / Elbow my way past sweaty tourists queued up for Flight of Passage or Slinky Dog.....
10:20 AM - Do some rides
12 PM - Lunch at a sit down restaurant that doesn't serve hot dogs on a stick
1 PM - Do some more rides
7 PM - Dinner at a sit down restaurant that doesn't serve sketti on a paper plate and maybe have a drink
8 PM - Do another couple of rides, have some more drinks and watch some fireworks
11 PM - Collapse at my resort
So, help me:
1. Choose a park (I'm partial to MK or Epcot, but open to a convincing argument)
2. Choose a table service lunch in that park
3. Choose a table service dinner in that park or at an easily accessible resort (walking, monorail, boat, etc. - no bus)
