Hello I was wondering if you had any tips for me I am doing a solo trip Iam trying for June I just lost my husband and I graduate in June from EMT school I have been dealing with so much and just want to be in my happy place . Do you ever feel depressed cause u have no one there with you what’s it like ? Do you get nervous being alone ? Any suggestions on what to do well there I am doing three parks MK,Ak and HS thank u 🙏
I am very sorry for your loss. It is never easy losing someone we love. Additionally, you should be so proud of yourself for graduating! What an amazing accomplishment! I don't really get depressed in the parks. Honestly, I find it hard to be sad in the parks with so many happy moments happening around me. I will say that there are moments where I feel lonely but I try to let it be a moment and then go ride my favorite ride or get my favorite snack. I recommend downloading a few podcasts, playlists, or audiobooks (or books on a kindle if you have) you love or have always wanted to listen to so that can keep you occupied while you are waiting on line for rides and what not. If you ever need a bit of company, I would recommend heading to the bar. The bartenders are SO nice and if they aren't too busy it's nice to chat with them about how they became a bartender at Disney or what their favorite drink is. I was nervous one night alone in my hotel when I heard a noise outside but I called the front desk and they said security would be more than happy to do a quick walk-by and I felt so much better. When in doubt, especially at the resort, call the front desk. They are more than happy to respond at ANY hour. I would say try something you have never done before at each of the parks, it's fun and gives you something to look forward to. I hear the Rhino Encounter is fun at AK (it costs more though). If not, I would recommend Nomad Lounge for a bite to eat. It really is beautiful there and feels like a little escape. MK I would try to get on Tron at night and maybe try a different view of the castle for the fireworks. HS I would recommend getting a reservation at Oga's Cantina. The bartenders are so fun and honestly it's just nice being in that atmosphere. Also if you ever aren't feeling the parks, I would go back to the resort and relax poolside. The resorts are LOVELY (could also resort hop and find a new favorite restaurant :) I personally love the rooftop at Coronado for apps and 3 Bridges at Coronado for dinner / drinks). Lastly, I would just be kind to yourself throughout the trip and enjoy some time celebrating you! Life moves so fast around us sometimes. Sometimes it's nice to step into another world, take things easy, and spend some quality time with ourselves.
More details in the notes section but happy to answer any questions you might have 🙂
