Hi Lisa!
September is a fantastic time to visit the Walt Disney World Resort, especially as a solo traveler and senior! Traveling solo allows you to set your own pace and explore whatever interests you the most without coordinating with others. Here are some highlights and tips for your solo adventure:
The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival presented by CORKCICLE will be in full swing during your visit. This is the perfect opportunity to sample delicious dishes and beverages from around the world. Take your time strolling through World Showcase, savoring the flavors, and maybe even attending a cooking demonstration or seminar.
Magic Kingdom Park will be adorned with festive Halloween decorations, adding a touch of spooky fun to your trip. If you're in the mood for some extra Halloween magic, consider attending
Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, offered on select nights. The event features special parades, fireworks, and trick-or-treating, making it a memorable experience.
Solo Traveler Tips:
Single Rider Lines: Take advantage of single-rider lines at attractions like Expedition Everest to reduce wait times.
Dining Reservations: As a solo traveler, it's often easier to snag last-minute dining reservations. Consider booking a table at unique dining spots like the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater at Disney's Hollywood Studios or
California Grill at Disney’s Contemporary Resort.
Hidden Gems: Explore some of the less crowded spots like Tom Sawyer Island in Magic Kingdom or the tranquil gardens of the Japan pavilion in EPCOT. These areas offer a peaceful escape and are perfect for solo explorers.
Relaxation Areas: Look for quiet spots to relax and recharge, such as the shaded seating areas in Liberty Square or the peaceful benches near the France pavilion in EPCOT.
Entertainment Shows: Enjoy the many shows and live entertainment options that don't require standing in long lines, such as the
Festival of the Lion King at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park or the
Voices of Liberty in the American Adventure pavilion at EPCOT.
Make use of the Complimentary Resort Transportation options such as the
Disney Skyliner, buses, and boats, to easily get around without the hassle of driving.
Enjoy the freedom and excitement of your solo adventure at Walt Disney World Resort in September! There's so much to explore!
