December 2007 Adult & Solo Travelers

[Colette]

DisneyBride'03- I'll be at POFQ from 12/10-12/17-my first solo Disney trip, although have made so many plans with other solos, that not much "down" time. I did save one day to finish up any shopping I miss-we have quite a loaded schedule and it's also my birthday on the 13th, so am Parasailing with 2 others in the morning(a first, also). We are having dinner at Planet Hollywood on the 10th(have room if you want to join us), then to Pleasure Island. 12/14 is dinner at Wolfgang Puck's and Pleasure Island for Adventurer's Club and Comedy Club and 12/15, I have room at the Cape May Cafe for dinner. Let me know if any of this works for you-we'd love to have you join us. I love the resort decorations and love to buy the gingerbread ornaments at the gingerbread house, at the Grand Floridian, to bring home as gifts. There really is a lot to see, without the parks, on a short trip. Downtown Disney is my favorite for the rest of my shopping.

 

[DisneyBride'03]

Sounds like a great birthday trip Colette!!!

I do not arrive until the 13th..the 14th I have dinner at Narcoosees after Wishes...that is my MK Resort day for shopping/hanging out....I leave the 15th in the evening...so maybe the 14th at Pleasure Island?!
Thanks for the info about the gingerbread house at GF!!

 

[Colette]

DisneyBride'03- Lots of displays at the hotels made of gingerbread and other edible things-my favorite is the Carousel at the Beach Club. Boardwalk Inn has a nice display, also. If you want to PM me your cell phone number, I'll send you mine and we can get in touch, on the 14th, if you want to meet at PI. Our dinner ressies are for 6:30, so probably 8:30 or 9:00 we'll be heading to the clubs.

Well, it's probably too early to be asking this... But while it's on my mind... I'm coming in late on Dec. 7 (about 10pm) and would like to go to the grocery store either that night or the following morning. Is there a kind soul that has a rental car that might be willing to give me a lift? I'll be happy to pay for gas. I just want to pick up some stuff (breakfast stuff, mainly). If no response I'll ask again when it's closer. Cheers, all!

Anyone?... See above...

NMP~Have you thought about having a grocery service deliver your items? It probably wouldn't be much more than gas money. We aren't checking in until the 9th and staying Concierge this time so we won't be going to the market. You could also pack a few small boxes of cereal and just buy some milk and fruit from the resort convenience store. Just a couple of suggestions~Jude

Thank you Jude! I didn't think of a delivery service - I didn't think places did that any more. I'll look into it if I don't connect with someone. Thanks!

Visiting Disney World December 3rd through the 12th and I'll be flying solo! I'm looking forward to seeing all of the Holiday decorations for the first time.

 

[DaisyDuck001]

But Le Cellier is fine, and if the above all works out to keep me at Epcot on that day, as I expect it will, I would enjoy meeting with y'all for dinner.

Hi Karnak,

On 12/13, twelve people from this website are meeting for Colette's birthday dinner at Le Cellier. I made the reservation for 4:50 PM, and we'll meet inside the restaurant entrance at 4:35 PM. A few months ago, you mentioned to Colette that you'd like to go to this dinner, so I saved you a spot. The reservation is now full, and we haven't heard from you lately.

I was just wondering, do you still plan to be with us for this meal? It would be great to have your company, but since the reservation is full, I'd like to confirm that you are still interested and able to join us. Please let me know, either way.

(I tried to send you a PM, but received a message that you don't accept PM's).

Thanks!

Daisy

Hi Jeff,

Are there any single girls/women around, age 26-35, who are in WDW during the same period who wants to go on the rides together with me . Just PM me

Thank you Jude! I didn't think of a delivery service - I didn't think places did that any more. I'll look into it if I don't connect with someone. Thanks!

~~If you don't get a ride to the store then try gardengrocer.com or call them @ 866-855-4350. I have not used them myself but heard good things and they only have a 12.00 delivery charge. They deliver to your resort 7 days a week from 8 a.m. until 9 p.m. There are a few other delivery services as well. Hope you have a great trip~~Jude

 

[Kimmielee]

I got a great deal from Spirit - only $96 round trip. I'm arriving Friday afternoon, Dec. 7th and leaving Monday morning, Dec. 10th. I can't wait to see MK all decked out ... and the resorts... (staying at Beach Club) and meeting some great DISFriends that I've gotten to know through the boards and have met in person as well! Wish me luck on my first SOLO trip. Shhhhhhh... can't tell my DS (8) or he'd be CRUSHED!!

 

[UrsulasShadow]

DaisyDuck001,
Just to let you know, they're starting to take reservations for Yak&Yeti in Dec for January...anything before then will be walk up only, so you might not have reservations for that one.

Thanks, I also saw that info yesterday on a website. It looks like we'll have to "walk up" in December.
