Do you have this problem (going solo)?

[The Sybah Shelstah]

Thanks everyone!
I'm back and had a great time. I'll post a report in the other forum soon- but not tonight. Still catching up on things here and while I was perfectly healthy while on my vacation- I think overnight I caught a bug from my son who was coughing all last night. So I'm feeling a bit under the weather today.

I do owe dad bigtime... his "friend" (coworker) pooped out on him and since it was HIS dad's place they'd be staying at and his dad's boat they'd be using- my husband ended up not going on the trip. So except one evening my sister took the kids out to Chuck E Cheese's for fun.... he kept them the entire time. I think he was fine during the week he worked but the 4 days OFF of work (that weekend and Mon/Tues) wore him out. He also said he had a hard time sleeping- most likely for keeping an "ear" out for the kids when normally he knows I keep an ear out for that when I'm here (plus usually up half the night also. LOL) So he's pretty beat. But he also did a lot of things with the kids to keep them busy so they wouldn't miss me and just to have fun with them- so they're all pretty wore out. LOL

You were there last weekend? Bummer I didn't meet you.
Kungaloosh! (LOL)

I am married, never had kids. Not only do I do WDW solo, all but two of my Disney cruises were solo (one was with grown nephew, another with my mom) and I LOVED it! All my upcoming DCL cruises are also solo. I have even done Europe and Africa many times - always without my spouse.

I think you pegged it in the beginning when you said JEALOUSY. Some women may try to lay a guilt trip on you, but are probably jealous they aren't "allowed" to do the same. Others may be envious of you being a <I>gutsy</I> woman - having the nerve to go solo.

Live your <I>own</I> life and be happy! As long as any responsibilities you leave behind are taken care of, you have no reason to feel guilty and stay home.

I am approaching THE BIG SIX OH this summer and an planning to go to Disney by myself. My kids are grown and I'm sure a trip with the grandkids is in the future, but I plan to enjoy myself. Even at my age, I get funny looks when someone finds out Im going to Disney by myself. But I tell them I'm just a BIG KID at heart! My boyfriend can't understand why I want to go off somewhere, but I tell him I have a demanding job with a lot of responsibility and for one week I want to relax and enjoy myself and I can't think of a better place than Disney. So, look out World (WDW) here I come....in about 286 days!
