Spryte Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 For one day... What would you do? What would be a treat, not to miss? A girlfriend is going to be in FL on business, and has always wanted to go to WDW, so she is planning to treat herself for one day. (I think that is really cool, btw!) So... For you Disney girls... What should my friend do? What would be fun on her own? Anything she absolutely shouldn't miss? :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenCat Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Epcot would be the most fun to me if I were by myself. I love walking through the different countries, and would like to go slower there than my guys "allow". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeannie in NJ Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I agree Epcot, and besides all the countries tell her to go on Soarin and in the same building as Soarin is Sunshine Seasons which is a very nice food court. For a snack go to the bakeries at Norway and France Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauriep Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I would totally pick Epcot as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 although I know I would love the Magic Kingdom because I love Disneyland, if I had just one day at WDW, I'd go to Epcot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Another vote for Epcot. If I was going to be at WDW alone, I'd love to wander through the countries, and eat at one or more of the restaurants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myeightkiddies Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 There's a forum for people who love going to WDW. One of them is just for adults and solos. So, if she has time, she may want to visit the site, here. Epcot is a lot of fun as an adult; however, if she has never been to WDW, she needs to go to the Magic Kingdom. Most of what she knows about Disney is there. If time allows, she certainly should visit Epcot. For seasoned visitors, skipping MK is fine, but for newbies, it certainly shouldn't be missed. Also, I enjoy going to the Grand Floridian and having Afternoon Tea. It's wonderful, and it is a nice break from fast food-type lunch. Since I had tea alone, I can state that there is no problem or awkward feeling being a solo at the Garden View Tea Room. More info is here.

Plus, Mickey would expect her to drop by to see him. She should get her "First Visit!" pin and wear it all day, a really cool t-shirt (millions of choices right there on Main Street), eat a Mickey ice cream bar, watch the parade, see the fireworks, get her pic taken in front of the castle, the whole shebang. Epcot's fantastic, as are the other parks. But MK is Mickey's home. :001_wub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailorMom Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Never been to a Disney Park? Probably should do MK. Has been to the above? Epcot. Loves animals and gorgeous landscaping? Animal Kingdom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphabetika Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I would like to have a whole day/week/month in the international section of Epcot. I may pay special attention to the Moroccan food. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MollyAnn Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 While I would love to wander Epcotwhy myself, I have to agree with those saying if this this is the first trip she has to go to Magic Kingdom. Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, parade, a show in front of the castle, fireworks, pics with characters, a slow walk down Main Street, any of the street shows, and wandering the shops.

kroe1 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Personally, I think I need to meet your friend while at WDW because it is unfair that anyone should get to go alone. :lol: Actually, I was there quite a bit alone a few years ago. We were still living in Arkansas, but I was actually working in Florida. Once a month I would drive from Arkansas to Orlando, spend the night and next day in Disney, and then make it to my job the following afternoon. It was an awesome 6 months! Find out what your friend's expectations are. Then couple that with her interests. That should help you plan your friend's Disney experience. There is some magic for everyone. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dd and I could spend all day there. My dh is good about it, but my boys would rather do more "exciting" things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spryte Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 Ooohh, this is wonderful. I am going to pass all of this along to her, and I know she'll have a great time! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
