Second doubts about solo trip!

So next month, I am booked to go on what will basically be a solo trip. A friend will be down at WDW for a conference while Better Than Ezra (our favorite band!) will be playing at the Food and Wine Festival.

It seemed like such great timing and I told him I would come down to see the concerts with him. Well, some time has passed, he got the schedule for his conference and he may be busier than he planned. I already knew I would be doing the parks during the day by myself, but the amount of time he can hang out with me is sort of up in the air until that week. It will pretty much be a play-it-by-ear type of situation.

At first, I was thrilled at the idea of a solo trip. I've never been on one and hey, I have the annual pass anyway as well as a frequent flier ticket, this is just a bonus trip! I have a trip planned in January with my family (parents and my younger brother. I'm 26 and single, no kids) so this will just be a little bit of extra fun.

But it's time for me to book my flight (just planned the trip about a month ago) and I'm having some second thoughts! I'm worried that a solo trip will be lonely and a little depressing, being there without my family? I have a room booked at Pop with an AP discount, so I'm really only paying for the room for 4 nights (at like $70 per night) plus my food. So it will be very inexpensive. But then I tell myself I should be spending this money on something else. I just keep going back and forth...so that's why I'm here.

What is great about going on a solo trip? If you've been on one, what do you like to do? Thanks guys! :wave:

I suppose you would have to have a different mindset to go at it alone. My husband and kids do everything together. I can't imagine doing it alone. before we were married I would go out to eat alone, do the movie thing alone. So independence is not a problem but disney alone I don't think I could have a good time. But some people it works for, for me I know I would be too lonley:shrug:

I love going solo. The freedom and flexibility to do what you want, when you want, as many times as you want, is priceless. Only crappy thing is, I don't like eating alone. You do miss that part of it I think.

But to be able to spend as long or short a time in the parks as you like, is awesome. If you wanna go on Splash Mountain 5 times, go for it. If you wanna sit on a bench with an ice cream and just stare at the castle, do it.

Everytime I hear about Better than Ezra, I am reminded of the Norm MacDonald bit he did while doing Weekend Update on Saturday Night Live.

His line was:

And topping the pop charts this week is Better than Ezra. Right behind them at number 2 is...Ezra. :lol:
