Are you trying to figure out how to do Disney World Alone? Don't worry, I got you!
I want to OFFICIALLY welcome you to the world of solo travel. I thought it would be great to give you my reflections on why I feel traveling to Walt Disney World solo is so important and why I emphasize it so much.
Yes, I do know that just the thought of traveling by yourself can be scary, but it can also be exciting and liberating.
Taking those first steps are usually the hardest for you, but do worry. I’m here for you and your journey.
Although I focus mainly on theme parks, I want you to know that as we go through this reflection of traveling alone, the same thoughts and ideas can also help you for any type of solo travel around the world.
In this video I want to show you the 7 Reasons Why You MUST Travel to Disney Solo! I also want to help you understand how you can do Disney alone without feeling scared or awkward about it.

I travel 3-4 times a year by myself and I've done it for years. My friends still ask me "You're going by yourself?" Yes. I like traveling my myself and I can do what I want and when I want. I don't have to worry about someone not wanting to go or eat at a particular place. Don't be afraid. Get out there!

I can't understand why people think it is the kiss of death if you go on a trip by yourself. It's not. I can't stand people's rude comments when they ask that as I got asked a lot at my old job. It was always who you going with so I just lied and I'm going with a friend or friends.

I’m tryin to go down to Orlando there to meet someone too and I get socially anxious easily on my own, so going these parks on my own scares me. But I know I need to get myself out of my comfort zone and just as you said “self discover”

What a profound share. Disneyland's not for me, but I've gone solo to Knott's Scary Farm and Legoland. I resonate with many of your points. I sat next to strangers on rides. Having short funny conversation with them was nice. I've heard one guy shout, "Why's he all alone??" Plenty of memorable, unique experiences. I go solo cuz I don't feel understood by anyone; even my close friends don't get me. 1) I feel alone being around ppl who aren't inclined to high-lvl compassionate, intelligent, substantial conversations. 2) Also, everyone's pacing is different. I feel dragged down by slow people (they rly need to finish their unimportant text msg or to get their faulty Bluetooth speaker to work), or I feel rushed by others (they eat so fast while I'm only 2/3 done with my meal, so I don't get to relax and enjoy my meal). (oh hey, you resonate with me at 9:45 xD ) 3) Also, trying to align everyone's day-off with yours is extra burdensome. I can take a sick day anytime, but one friend may need a one-week notice, while another friend might not be able to take a day-off until next month. Nuclear tip: bring earphones and a language-learning audio program. Cuz those hour-long lines give you forever to catch up on your Pimsleur. Better than scrolling around and depleting your battery. 5:54 "'No YOU have to compromise.' On those solo travels everything is about what you want." Preach it sis! 8:57 heck yeah, I seldom go to the theater, but when I do, I only go alone nowayears. I sure hope to someday bump into you at a random theme park around the globe.

I went to Magic Mountain by myself that was my first “adult” trip alone It was perfect but it was scary as hell at first but once I got to my hotel it was easy there were no lines. I go to kings island alone all the time and it to six flags over Texas alone when I lived in Dallas. As long as I have my music I’m good. When your doing what you enjoy the most it’s so easy. When your alone you can do what ever you want. I plan on going to Kings Dominion and Bush Gardens Williamsburg alone for Memorial Day.

Thank you for this awesome video. I've secretly always had the desire to go to Disney by myself. I'm only 3 hours away by car, so I can literally go whenever. Especially since my partner's work schedule is very different than mine. I'm home alone a lot and daydream a lot about solo trips. BUT, I feel guilty planning a fun time without him. Maybe one day.

@NikkyJThemeParkHipster 3 жыл бұрын

You are so welcome! I understand how you feel about the guilt. Maybe if you did a trip where you start off the first half solo with your fiancé coming in on the other half of the trip. This may make you both happy. But, if he really wants to go and would be upset with you going alone, I can understand that too.

@NikkyJThemeParkHipster 2 жыл бұрын

I TOTALLY understand. It can be a big park to take on. If you do decide to come alone, I recommend staying on-site at a place like the Swan or Dolphin Resort. That way you'll be right in the middle of all the action. So, if you get a bit overwhelmed, you can quickly return to your room and regroup ☺️

That's a good tip, but the spouse likely still won't handle well. I have a better not-really-viable tip for you: don't get married. Kind of a joke, kinda not. Cuz practically, the definition of marriage is compromise. Someone's gotta give. I know I'm rly difficult, and ppl are difficult, so I'll prob nvr get married.

Welcome to reality. Many friends and relatives rly aren't compatible. We tend to invite to eschew loneliness. I've nvr been successful at finding a compatible companion to feel included in a lot of things. Instead I make peace with loneliness. Accept that maybe no one alive is capable of understanding me.
