    Guest experiences with daily room checks

    I must have been one of the very first to experience this "room-check" stuff. I stayed at Pop in Jan for a 12-day solo trip and had the frightening experience of someone trying to enter my room while I was showering. When I complained about this at the front desk, I was told it was a "safety and...

    No thread about the handle-less mugs?

    I vote for the handle too. Have used tumblers but always end up dropping them because of the lack of a handle. Seriously, Disney, have a kind heart for the klutzes and offer the handle-option too!!

    Character Meals as a Solo

    My very best character photos (as a solo diner) were at Crystal Palace! The lighting is fabulously flattering and the character handlers did the photos for me. I enjoyed the character interactions at all other dining events (Tusker House, 'Ohana, etc) but my best photos came from Crystal Palace.

    Solo Dining Reservations

    I've done lots of solo table service, character breakfasts, and dinner shows where I had no problems with the Disney online reservation accepting/searching for "1". However, I did have problems with the 'Ohana Character breakfast (Lilo and Stitch) searching for "1". I kept getting the message...

    ^^THIS!! Enjoy life at every opportunity. I've done two solo WDW vacations at Pop Century where there is always lots of fun going on every day. Absolutely love Pop and it's VERY well-lit.

    Solo Trip Best Practices?

    Have done multiple solos and have done table service at lots of restaurants and dinner shows. Every place treated me well as a solo diner, with the exception of Brown Derby. Tip: If you want an ADR at Ohana, do a table for 2...it's easier to get a confirmation. I was getting nowhere trying for...

    Flooded POTC boats

    This is a terrible experience for visitors! At Disneyland (in California), the CMs do NOT pack the boats. Therfore, the water doesn't flood over the sides as your description indicates at WDW.

    Help finger scanner

    I'm thinking that you actually meant to type "DisneyWorld". If she has lost her DisneyWorld annual pass, have her go to Guest Relations to get it sorted out. She will need to get it replaced and Disney will have records of her pass purchase.

    Is food and wine getting out of hand?

    I must admit that my initial impression of EpCot F&W was startling and memorable for a first-timer. It was my 1st DisneyWorld visit and also solo... so when I entered EpCot and saw/heard a young man at the top of the Spaceship Earth ramp shouting/cursing, it definitely freaked me out! I had no...

    My First Time at Disney, Art of Animation, and My Official Review

    I like reading Trip Reports of First-Time visits and I LOVED reading the description of your very first day at the Magic Kingdom! Thanks for sharing. I hope you and your family are able to do it again someday soon.

    Which Rides/Attractions Are Most Awkward Solo?

    Rides are the easiest part of being solo. No one can tell if you are really solo or maybe the rest of your party is taking a bathroom break! At times, you may feel like letting everyone know that you are solo and that's OK too. You get in that Pirate line and have yourself a GRAND time singing...

    Be Our Guest - What to Order?

    Normally, I'm not a big fan of soups but that Onion and Cheese soup was soooooo delicious. I still think about it.

    SOLO travelers: what type of room do you usually get put in?

    I 've done two solo Pop stays and each time my room had two beds. Personally, I LOVE having two beds...one for sleeping and the other to spread all my stuff on!

    First Solo Trip - Not Sure What To Think

    My very first WDW trip was solo and lasted 2 weeks. The dining was no big deal because it was all counter-service. Then last year, I planned a huge 3 week trip for a friend and myself with dining ressies. Unfortunately, my friend passed away 60 days before the trip...and I went anyway alone. I...

    How do you feel about adults drinking alcohol at Disney?

    First trip to WDW was solo and it was Food & Wine Festival time. I personally didn't have a clue as to what that meant so was shocked to see/hear a rude drunk by the Spaceship Earth globe. The guy was shouting profanity...which quickly brought the attention of security guards! I was glad to see...

    bog fast pass for November

    Mine is absolutely stuck on the 4th (which is 21 days NOT 27) and will not budge over one more day!! This is so frustrating as I am hoping for the 6th. All I need is two more days to roll over on my calendar options. I check constantly but it has not changed.
