5 Disney Experiences That Are Great for the Solo Traveler
Traveling to Disney World solo is a great way to put together a personalized visit where you create the trip of your dreams. Solo travelers know all about the perks of travel where you get to choose your stops, stroll at your own pace, and can still have plenty of fun. Most of these experiences are booked for individuals anyway, with guests taking the chance to personalize their trips with a special Disney excursion.
These 5 Disney experiences are some of the best for solo travelers that like to get out and do more activities on their own.
EPCOT DiveQuest
There are a couple really great experiences that guests can arrange for at EPCOT, and DiveQuest is probably the best, especially for solo travelers. SCUBA certified get the chance to dive in the huge saltwater tanks at Disney’s The Seas With Nemo and Friends Pavilion. Observe sea turtles, sharks, dolphins, and rays right alongside the cast members that get to do this every day as part of their work. Not only do you get the chance to dive, but you learn about everything it takes to care for the animals that call Disney home.
Private Surfing Lessons at Typhoon Lagoon
If you’ve never learned how to surf, or could use some tips to polish your skills, take the chance to surf at Disney. Typhoon Lagoon surf instructors give guests the chance to ride the waves before or after the park has closed to everyone else. The wave pool is designed so that you can practice any manner of ride, or just learn enough to get the hang of it. These sessions are pretty exclusive and great for solo travelers because it is something that you really have to master on your own.
Dine at Ohana
There are a lot of great restaurants and dining experiences that can be found here, and you should never let the fact that you will be dining alone stop you from booking a reservation. Ohana is a great dinner option because of the view, across from Magic Kingdom where you can watch Wishes in comfort and reflected off the water. If you want to watch the firework outside, the beaches at the Polynesian, where Ohana is located, is one of the most romantic spots in all of Disney World.
Ride an Amphicar
In an almost one of a kind experience guests can ride an amphicar in the lake near Downtown Disney. The Boathouse is one of their newest restaurants, and there are several classic amphibious cars on hand to take guests for a spin. These cars are extremely rare, and Disney has several of them, all of which are open to the public to book.
Wild Africa Trek
There are several behind the scenes tours available at Disney World, but the Wild Africa Trek is a great option for solo travelers because it really does require your full attention. Guests are taken through the safari areas where the animals are kept and given the chance to see them in their habitat from high up on rope and board platforms. You have a guide with you to tell you what you are seeing, but because of the nature of the tour you will have them in your ear with a special bluetooth device. End your safari adventure with a gourmet meal and special cast member chats.
