Visiting the World solo???

[SowFLo]

Ok so I am wanting to get an annual pass but not many of my friends are fans of WDW...They are just to cool I guess lol!! Are there ever any meet and greets or do any of you all ever go solo?? I mean I can just walk around the parks all day and just watch the street performers and what not..I just think it would be a blast to be with people who loved WDW as much as I do if not more!! I can't pass up on the monthly payment plan for Florida residents!!

If I was a local I would have an annual pass. Id love the idea of just being able to go there anytime I want. And for going solo, I think the only time it would be boring is while waiting on lines. Plus you can make some new friends while you're there.

Yeah I'm definently getting the annual pass....Just curious to see if there a lot of solo travelers..

I suggest the seasonal over the annual. Save some money and save yourself the hectic hot days of summer at WDW. Me and my girlfriend actually like our summer break from the world. I get into universal free for working there and I always go out to the parks and ride a few rides before work or when I'm sitting around. Its kind of fun being in a theme park by yourself doing whatever the hell you want.

Well, I'm going with my family here in two weeks. But I hope to meet some new people from the forums here. And even if not that, I hope I overcome my shyness enough to meet some new people that are just there.

I'm a solo traveler, and also have a annual pass, even though I will only visit the park for 2 weeks in October only this year. But it was just cheaper to do it like that. I love just watching people and walking around the world getting the disney feeling. I wouldn't mind meeting people.

I've done the solo routine at DL and it was actually a lot of fun. Sure, you don't get the laughs you get when travelling with friends and family but you meet new people. You get to realise how many different types of crowds populate the parks and just observe all the peoples' different needs and wants - which also puts in perspective complaints we may have about the parks. Things like the MM&Y that's shown over Small World, seeing the popularity of Pirate Island or the princess M&G makes you realise we may not like it but they are considered success stories in the public's eye.

Moreover, you get to appreciate the stuff that matter most to you that otherwise touring in a group you'd compromise due to lack of time or interest from other members. Things like the small details, the smells, reriding a slow ride (as opposed to the regular reriding of the thrill ones) just to see all the things you missed the first time around. I'd definitely recommend it!

I've been a seasonal passholder for the past couple of years.. My family's limit on disney trips is about once every month/two months.. As a disney enthusiast, I can definitely go alllott more than that!

I've done solo trips in the past, while its cool to be able to go at your own pace, and see what you want to see when you want to see it, it does feel a bit lacking at times, just because there is noone there to share it with.

I would also be interested in visiting the world with other fellow disney fanatics that appreciate it the way I do. My family enjoys it, but they dont appreciate the little things as much as I do. Sigh, I wish I had some "disney friends" to visit the parks with.

If anyone is there in two weeks, in may, or in a year, I'd be more than happy to do that.
