Ahh, but you must be an expert by now! I must admit, I tend to 'wing it' when I travel most of the time but since it's my first ever trip (and possibly my only ever!), I don't want to risk missing out on anything I want to do!

Do say hi if we cross paths at any point!

I'll keep an eye on here on what you're up too, and yep my plan will take shape when I am there and I have worked out what days I will be with my friends who live there, and what I will be up to solo, and when I will have Park passes etc. If anything overlaps, I will let you know!

Interested with your comment about staying in shared room in hotels... Was that with strangers you didn't know? How did you find that?
I've travelled solo a few times, the furthest to NYC for bon jovi concert last year but only ever for a few days at a time

It's not for everyone, definitely! I try to book female only dorms with no more than 6 beds in a room. In Europe this usually costs around £25/night so it's a huge saving on the cost of a hotel room! Even though we're all strangers, hostels tend to attract people of a similar mindset so it's a good way to meet people when solo travelling.

It's obviously going to be a lot less private than a hotel room, but most people are quite respectful and keep themselves to themselves when appropriate! There's like an unwritten code of what's acceptable (quiet and lights off between 10pm and 8am, keep your belongings tidy and in your own area, no hogging the bathroom for ages, etc!) and the majority of people stick to I've never had any major problems apart from the odd loud/annoying roommate. I just go armed with a sleep mask, good set of earplugs, and a padlock to lock my valuables away. It helps that hostels tend to have big common areas like bars and lounges for socialising or relaxing, so I'm literally only in the room when it's time to sleep.

Have just added an ADR for a late breakfast at Trail's End on Thursday 7th. This was originally going to be a shopping day at the outlets before heading to DAH in the evening but I'm leaning more towards staying on property now. Maybe a wander around Disney Springs before a nap/pool afternoon? Going to keep it free to see what I feel like!
