Hi am am new to this forum and I was reading how many people are going solo!
My DH is not a Disney Fanatic like myself and I would like to try to go by myself in Sept. maybe the 3rd to the 7th.
Can anyone give me some insight on going solo for the first time?
I went on my first solo trip in May '05. I had never been anywhere by myself, had never even eaten in a restaurant alone. My family swore I would never do it. Up until the night I left they didn't believe I would fly all the way to Florida and spend nine days alone. You should have seen my son's face when he dropped me off at the airport. Up until that point he actually thought I'd back out. I was a little nervous, but had one of the best trips of my life.
I got up when I wanted to, went to bed when I wanted to, park hopped when I wanted, ate where I wanted to (including two character meals), went on three tours (KTTK, Backstage Safari, and Around the world on a Segway), took my time and just people watched, rode the same rides multiple times, used the single rider lines, etc. It was wonderful!!! Since then I have made solo trips in Dec '06, May '07, and will be doing solo trips this Sept//Oct and again in Dec. I enjoy my trips with my family, but treasure my solo time at WDW. You will be surprised at just how much faster you can travel through the parks and how much more you can get done. You can also eat at places your family would not be interested in. Don't be afraid to try TS. I had never eaten alone in my life, but it was not as awkward feeling as I thought it would be. In fact, some of the best service I've ever received has been when I've been solo. Carry a journal to write in or a book to read and just relax. Because you are alone, people (and especially CMs) are more apt to start a conversation with you. I'm fairly shy, but surprisingly have had no problem finding someone to talk with on any of my trips. I'll be solo Sept 29th-Oct 7th and have ADRs for Le Cellier, Chef de France, Wolf Gang Pucks, Coral Reef, Whispering Canyon, Tony's Town Square, Concourse Steak House, and Mama Melrose. I have no tripidations about going to any of them alone and am looking forward to it.
Everyone should try a solo trip at least once. Everytime I see a family having a meltdown I can smile, walk on by, eating my Dole Whip, be glad I'm alone and able to do what I want when I want, knowing I'll be seeing my family in a few days feeling relaxed and refreshed, instead of exhausted and haggard.
, I'm going Sept 27-Oct 3rd for a solo trip at the GF! 
I'm so excited! 
for that story. It has helped me to start planning my trip SOLO!
