Last Minute First Solo Trip Please help

[Tay]

Hello everyone, I’ve been pretty down recently and my birthday is next weekend and why not spend it at the most magical place on earth ?

This will be my first solo trip ever if my over protective parents even let me go.

I just want to do a 2 day park hopper unless I can get a nice rep to give me a Florida resident ticket since I live close to the Florida border. Any Georgia residents have had any luck getting a Florida discount?

I wanted to spend my birthday solely in Magic Kingdom. Then I looked at the calendar and MK closes at 12 the next day while the other parks close at 9 and one at 10. So I can head over to MK after the other parks close. I do want to spend a good amount of time exploring and eating at Epcot. I just want to do TSMM and RNR and a few shows at DHS. I want to ride the rides in Pandora and KS, watch Nemo and Lion King, and see a fee animals. Plus of course I want to meet characters at all 4 parks. How would you schedule what two parks to do each day?

What are the rides with a single rider line? Would I look weird going on the teacups by myself? Can I get multiple fast passes at different parks? Any special birthday perks I could get?

Any tips in general for a young woman traveling solo for the first time?

OK here is may take on your plans:
If you think you can get a Florida Discount and live in Georgia, you might as well forget that! They check ID's when you get your tickets or enter they park(?) Unless there is a loophole!
2 Day Park Hopper:
Day 1: Magic Kingdom for your Birthday! Happy Early Birthday!!) Don't forget to wear your Birthday Button!
Day 2: AK-8am-Pandora is still long lines you might have a good chance at rope drop. then12pm head to DHS then 4pm-head to Epcot
Characters: Have a plan of when and where they are so you will know where to look for them!
FastPasses: you are only allowed 3 then once those are used up you can get more! If you use 3 FP at AK and are heading over to DHS, I think you can get FP for the next park as long as your first 3 are used! (someone correct)
Birthday Perks: Wear your Birthday Button, maybe some magic will happen for you!

Sorry, close enough only works with grenades and abombs. Like everything, Disney is pretty strict in handing out discounts.

Tbh, I think you're trying to squeeze 4 days of visits into two days. From what you wrote, you want to spend all day in MK, use the second day to visit epcot, AK, and HS and then go back to MK.

Why not take a step back, and not try to cram so much in.
If the Magic Kingdom is one of the major focuses, then yes, spend all day there and then maybe head over to AK in the morning for rope drop and maybe Epcot in the afternoon.

While TSMM is a great ride, there's no fastpasses and only one lane open, so the wait times may be excessive, especially on a weekend. I'd probably forego HS on a two day trip and instead spend time on the other parks where there's more to do. Just my $.02

We did rope drop for toy story mania last week on a Tuesday and still had a 45 minute wait. I'd look at MK and Ak morning, Epcot afternoon personally, or even MK and EPcot. The flower and garden festival is amazing and there's food everywhere! I'd suggest the scallops in Canada! We ate so many when we were there.

Hope you get the nod to go solo. WDW is very safe and you would have a great experience. MK is the best park to visit to celebrate a birthday. And EP is wonderfully pleasant during the F&G festival. Not only is it beautifully decked out in color but theres lots of unique food & snack items to try.
Single rider lines are great when you are solo. And even when you are with someone else but dont mind possibly getting split up. It does save a lot of time. In AK you have EE. At DHS theres one for RnRC. At EP theres TT. Ive gone solo a couple of times and no one gives you a second look by going on rides alone. You often will get a seat alone on a ride and sometimes may get seated beside a stranger.
With a trip being planned last minute you may not get the best choices and times for FP+. The more popular ones get grabbed up fast.
