I definitely agree that eating alone is a confidence thing. I travel solo quite a bit and I was pretty indifferent to eating alone in restaurants, it was just another part of travelling solo. Then one day a colleague in her 60s asked me if I ever eat alone in restaurants because she couldn't imagine having the confidence to do it. That was so strange to me hearing somebody with a lot more life experience than me say that that's something they couldn't do. It's not weird unless you tell yourself it's weird :)
I lost my wife in September, we were passholders and I am planning on a trip to DW in September for 3 days in honor of her and our memories. 1st time ever going solo and I know it will be such a bittersweet trip.
I prefer solo trips because I like being alone and like doing exactly what I want during my vacation. I definitely started at quick service and now I have no issues with sit down meals solo. My next trip in May, I have multiple table service reservations (California Grill and Space 220). I am so excited to try these restaurants that I used to be uncomfortable booking alone.
Thanks for the great video. Thinking about going solo next September. Great tips for sure. I think one more pro would be many rides got solo queue too. And I feel with the Genie+, being solo can be maybe useful too. Anyway thanks again. :)
What I like to do in long lines by myself is either read about disney history or listen to videos about the parks/disney studios history. I feel like so much goes into the making of rides and of the experience of disney parks. The smells they put in, the colors they use, the inspiration that that took from. Imagineers really do art in real life and I want to try and learn more about it.
Great points and well-organized presentation for solo travelers. I have done several trips solo and enjoyed them all. During my first three trips, I dined exclusively at quick service restaurants or lounges. For my most recent trips, I have built up confidence and dined solo at sit-down restaurants - mostly because I wanted to experience some of the sit-down restaurants. Agree with your comments on Mears Connect and staying on Disney property.
I did a semi-solo trip for my birthday in 2019. Traveled alone and stayed alone on property but met up with some friends for some park days. I also went to Disneyland Paris alone back in November. I would say in Paris, they kinda judge you more when you say you're alone but honestly, I don't care. Like you said, no one knows your story, just enjoy your day alone. Being solo is freeing. There are some times you do wish others were with you to share the memories haha I also agree the Disney Express and staying on property made me feel very safe as a solo female traveler. Thanks for the additional tips x
Wow really I want paris solo and seen a few people alone but when I went orlando I got a few looks ....I found paris they were not bored and just doing their own thing x
"waiting in line is the loneliest time"and "eating in the same restaurant 3 times a day" those times are lonely but think about how much courage someone thinks you have when the see you traveling alone.
Hi new subbie from uk here ...I did my very 1st solo back in 2018 and was my 2nd time only going to Disney world ,so fairly new to it and 1st EVER solo trip so yeah was nervous, but omg I loved it and being able do what I want ❤️ seen then got more confidence, I went to disneyland paris in December 2022 and I'm back in Orlando next month solo again xx When u take photos do u use a tripod? Xx
The trial run advice is such a good piece of advice! I had never taken a solo trip before but when I went with family I would go out and explore the parks alone sometimes when my family was tired or had other plans, etc. and it really does get you oriented with how it feels to do Disney alone and it's a lot of fun!
Sunshine Flyer til Labour day 2022 booking now is also a $32,- but themed roundtrip and Kids even get for free. And they are focused on Disney Hotels instead of Mears that includes off sites as well since operating without Disney.
You don't necessarily get stuck with a middle seat. Don't pay for the absolute cheapest seats, but instead pay a couple of dollars more and pick your seat. I NEVER let the airline choose my seat. It does not end well.
Lucky I've had no issues at a dinning restaurant alone I did it at disneyworld (people did look but ay don't know my story) and in Paris weren't bothered and few people doing it......disney is expensive anyways and coming from uk haha 😅 no1 I know can afford it ,take me forever to save and I'm not a mum like my friends so easier for me go solo
Just curious, how much did u spend on ur solo 8 day trip in total? Planning a 7 day solo trip in early december kinda looking for a ball park on how much i need to save up.
Also pro tip: never tell anyone your alone and even at Disney, always be aware of your surroundings! Im sure this is obvious but i want everyone to be safe and have fun! 🤍

totally! It's all what people feel comfortable with!!
Heck I eat alone all the time and you know what I see -- most folks have their eyes on the iPhones.

Thank you so much for sharing your story, I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope Disney is able to give you some magic
Leoven how did the trip go?
I hope the trip brought you some solace and closure. Hope her memory lives on with you!

Do you have any websites/podcasts/channels you recommend to learn that history? It’s a great idea!

I do solo travelling to Disney World since 2008 and what help me to eat at a restaurant is eating at the bar of the restaurant. Great video!!!
Going alone to Disney is super chill.

Thank you so much for this video. You convinced me to book my first solo Disney World trip!
Con : taking that courageous first step to go solo
Pro : you're going to want to do more solo trips

What great tips! Thanks so much for this!
I’ve taken two solo trips to Disney! it feels so good to have the freedom to do exactly what you want
It's always so great!!!
This video couldn’t have come at a better time! Thanks for the advice
You’re welcome! So glad I could help!!

Planning on a solo trip next year and this was very helpful
Love all of your Disney videos, Brooke :) Congratulations on your new apartment, by the way!
thank you!
Love this video Brooke :) all these tips were so helpful!
Thanks so much!!

It’s $50-75 more lol def more than a couple $
Some great tips and advice and looking super cute 😍
Do you have any suggestions to go when it’s not super hot? And what would be the considered the “slower days”?
I would try mid-end of January!
@@PartOfBrookesWorld thank you!

About 2500! But hotels in December are about double the price of August! So beware!
@@PartOfBrookesWorld yikes double, maybe ill go in January instead to avoid the holiday prices. thanks for the info 🙂
the new video background is pOPPIN
fun fact, she fell down and scared me pretty good in the middle of last night
My biggest issue: who is going to take my pics? HAHAHHA
Hahahaha if disney world they have photo pass or get tripod or phone stand ,going try this out next month when I go
Only women could pull this off. Any guy going to DW alone is gonna look like a major weirdo
Def not true!!! I know men that have gone alone and had a great time!!! Anyone can do it!
Also pro tip: never tell anyone your alone and even at Disney, always be aware of your surroundings! Im sure this is obvious but i want everyone to be safe and have fun! 🤍
