Solo Disney trip

By Bridget O'Connell

​Hey friends! Ever think of taking a solo trip…to the most Magical Place on Earth? Going to Walt Disney World all on your own might seem overwhelming and silly to some, but it is an amazing experience if you are open to it! I am a WDW Annual Passholder and try to make it to the parks as often as I can. Living in NJ, I have access to multiple airports and can often find great rates on round trip flights. I have flown for as little as $24! Now, who wouldn’t want to go with a flight that cheap!
 
Sometimes juggling daily life…parenting, a career, and all life’s expectations can take a toll. Now, I love my traveling with my husband and kids but spending a long weekend, or even a one day visit, can help refresh a tired and worn out parent! One of my favorite parts of solo traveling to WDW is not having a plan. You can pack light, no lugging sippy cups, changes of clothes, and snacks. No emergency potty runs, mid day meltdowns, or naps (unless you want to take one, that is!).  Enjoying EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival or Festival of the Arts becomes a new experience where you can focus on the food and beverage options and relax while perusing the merchandise and entertainment venues. Sometimes spending the day eating snacks and people watching makes for a great time! Did someone say Dole Whip and Churros for breakfast? Yum! A Mickey pretzel you don’t have to share? Yes, Please!
Sleep in late, get up early…shop all day or ride every ride twice…the choice is yours alone. How about single rider, best line ever!! Did you ever take a solo trip? Considering one? Tell us what you look forward to the most!
