Agree with you. It gives me the time to take interesting photos. Some of the things I have taken photos of: all the Main Street windows, Disney building architecture, doors, signs, light posts, walkways.... Friends looking through my albums or on computer photo files say... Gee I never knew this was there, or I never have seen that, or where was this taken. One that always gets people is the photo of Paul Reveres lamps in the window in Liberty Square. So many hidden treasures.

I think the only "alone" time I will get will be the early morning hours. I'm an early riser, so I will try to get outside for a peaceful walk around the resort (second half being AKL) before the troops wake up.

Places at the Poly: Barefoot Bar, Tambu, the gardens, far end of the beach, the sitting areas right inside the hotel itself.

When I'm "alone" in the parks, I like to photograph. No rush - it's at my own pace and I can explore what I want, when I want and do so thoroughly.
Some times I like to just enjoy being there. Smile at the sun, soak in the ambiance and listen to all the noises (background music, children laughing, etc.). Sit on a bench (or rock) and enjoy a Dole Whip - or a tasty snack and beer in the WS somewhere.

This is usually my strategy as well. Especially when the kids want to watch a show. My wife will sit with them and I'll get the fast passes and walk around some

I love to relax and people watch. When I am by myself I love to grab a ice cold beer and sit in the gardens in the UK at EPCOT. It is quaint and quite. Very relaxing. I also love to lay on the hammock on the beach at the Polynesian and read a good book. Nothing more relaxing to me then to listen to the waves, feel the breezes, and enjoy some downtime.

Was able to do MK by myself for 1 day during a trip in 2010 and it was amazing. Walked on everything without issue and was able to take tons of photos. I think I was able to cover almost every attraction I wanted in 1/2 day.

Ocassionally, I'll get up early and go get my morning coffee and a stroll at the resort by myself, which can be very relaxing (there is nothing like the hug of the Florida sun in the morning).

I'm looking forward to 4 days solo before my conference starts in June. My plan is mostly to take photos (and take my sweet time doing it) but I also plan on enjoying my favourite attractions. I'm actually looking forward to having a Doom Buggy all to myself. Small things I guess but it still makes me a little excited. I haven't wandered the parks alone since I stopped working there in '98.

I love wandering around World Showcase just soaking in the atmosphere and enjoying the details. I also love striking up conversations with the people working in the shops. I've learned some interesting things about the different countries doing that!

We need time for things to happen.
I'm definitely an alone time type of guy. At home I cherish that time when I come home from lunch, or really late at night the kids are at school (or in bed) the wife is at work (or in bed), I have the house to myself, NO INTERRUPTIONS, read a magazine,a book, watch what I want on TV, put my feet up on the coffee table, etc. etc.
However WDW for me is something I desperately want to share. Desperately!! Every time I see or hear or see something in the Magic bubble I want to point it out, talk about it, contemplate it, etc. etc...
Don't get me wrong, there was a moment at the F&WF last year that I was a little put out that the kids were 'bored' with walking around and eating and drinking...and I had a moment that I wished I could ditch 'em and tear it up Shookie style around the WS.
However --- shortly there after the whole family was on SSE and I'm pointing out the smell of Rome burning and we're talking about how that's just a 'freaking awesome Disney smell and my proposed imaginary solo jaunt around the WS was not regretted and quickly forgotten.
The way I see it, my alone time will soon be thrust upon me whether I like it or not --- the time with my family four pack is fleeting - I think I need to take advantage of it while I still can, especially at WDW.
With that being said if I ever find myself in a position where I'm alone and in the World Showcase during the F&WF, You all better call security cuz I'm taking no prisoners!!!

My "alone" time at WDW consists of going to get my DW a Dole Whip before Wishes.
