Should have added. I'm a 73 year old woman. Pretty healthy for my age. Still work a 40 week job so not to concerned about that. My son thinks I'll get to lonely. But honestly I think it'd be nice having a little time to myself

When traveling solo anywhere I prefer hotels with interior corridors. At WDW I have stayed at GF villas, BCV, Riviera, and SSR (only 1 night there solo)

So places like Pop Century wouldn't be ok?

I'm in my 60's and sometimes go solo. I love POFQ. I always let my family know I'm back in the room.
I never get lonely solo. I love to do what I want to do! My dd33 goes almost every quarter for a week and is never lonely either.

@Kluck. Did you feel safe at night in the parks by yourself? This will be my first time and definitely want to see night time stuff.

I think you'd be fine at Pop Century @mickeyforlife I've never felt unsafe there. I'd book a preferred room to be closer to the main building.

Matterhorn55 the thoughts of doing whatever I want whenever I want sounds so good to me

Old woman here. There isn't a WDW resort that I would be at all concerned about going anywhere between 6am-midnight. Remember they aren't letting outside vendors at resorts any more. Their security is world-class.

Same for the parks. I probably wouldn't walk around alone after 10pm outside resorts/parks (Boardwalk area, TTC, Disney Springs), but I'm usually asleep then anyway.

So the next time you hear someone complaining about not being allowed to drive their car into a resort to pick up a QS order, thank Disney security, or the Phoenicians.

I have never once felt unsafe at a Disney park. I just prefer interior corridors after a not-good experience at a conference a number of years ago.

And any time of day if there is a sketchy group waiting for the Skyliner near you, ask for a different gondola. Situational awareness.

I'm doing my first solo trip next week and staying at POFQ. It's my favorite resort, so I would have chosen it anyhow, but it is very small and easy to navigate. I requested a room on a top floor in the center of the resort for extra safety.

I would feel safer entering/exiting an exterior room at Pop in the sight lines of dozens of rooms than I would in an interior hallway at, say, AKL where only a few rooms might be nearby.

I think I'd feel safe at any Disney resort, though, honestly. Just be intentional with your room request and ask for features that will make you feel most secure.

Thanks guys. Knew I could depend on ya to make me feel better about it.

Plus put out the word and any number of Liners will be at WDW the same time if you get too lonely!

My #1 safety trip of traveling alone is never to admit it... if anyone ... uber driver, stranger. Waiter asks ... I am always meeting up with my husband..... that being said I always feel comfortable solo at Disney

I'm going solo in a few weeks and I am so excited to do whatever I want when I want. I spend my whole life taking care of other people so this will be a delight.

And i chose Disney because it was a place i knew I would feel safe and comfortable exploring and dining on my own.

Make sure to look at all the discounts available from now until late summer. Disney+ also has a great offer for some resorts during the summer. Good luck!

The only time I remember not feeling safe i was solo + younger kid, at POR. It was so dark and we had to wander so far. Would not do that again.

Solo is amazing! POFQ is small overall. I would think a preferred room somewhere like POP would be good too, so you don't have too far to walk at night. Never felt unsafe on my solo trip while in the bubble.

I've never felt unsafe at any Disney resort I've stayed at but I will say that walking to our preferred room at ASMo after an after hours event was really quiet and kinda dark. But otherwise fine.

I also closed down HS by myself with an ADR at Prime Time and walked way out to my car in the parking lot in the dark but felt fine too and I too am scared easily.

I decided when my kids were 3 years old and DH ruined our Disney trip that life was too short to deal with Disney/theme park haters. We have gone back many times without him, gladly.

I love my solo trips. Usually I end up with a tag along or two or three by the end but that's ok, lol

Also had many solo trips, age 60s
Only thing that creeped me out was POR Bayou. It is dark, lots of darker walkways hidden by bushes. I went to front desk. CM said yup, I get afraid out theretoo! Relocated me to Royal Room for free. Beautif river view
