matthewgvt 0 Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Hello everyone , We had been planning on checking in on the 14th to a full hook up a loop (was hoping for 1700). I'm driving with the camper and my wife and son are flying in on the 14th. I'm a lot farther ahead of schedule that I predicted and could be at the Fort within four hours or so. I was thinking about spending the extra two nights at the KOA in Kissimmee but after the drive I'm thinking I don't really want to set everything up twice. Provided I can get a spot would it be weird since I'm all by myself. I'm not normally the kind of person who cares about that but it is a little strange to have a 40-year-old man all by mself at the happiest place on earth, or maybe it isn't? Also, I didn't write this while driving just in case you were concerned. Thanks in advance for your opinions. Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Matt We had a 20 something guy camping across from us around the 4th of July in a partial loop. Not only was he by himself, he slept in his car. I've seen other singles tenting, guys and girls. Nothing odd about it. The Disney bug can infect anyone. And welcome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beckers 1,136 Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Not strange at all! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Katman1356...Jason 1,140 Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Boy I hope a 40 yr old camping by himself and going to Disney isn't strange. I have enough strange about me already. sherryberry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Check into the Fort and enjoy your extra days! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikeypro 32 Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Totally weird. Now a 63 year old man camping by himself at Disney for 18 days isn't weird at all. Even if he goes back a week later for another 10 days [emoji12] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Nope, not weird at all!! Check in, take your time setting up and enjoy!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Agreed- not weird at all. I'm actually jealous- the weather is beautiful here, and you can enjoy a nice calm time before your family shows up! TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Seals 111 Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 You could always put up a sign that says "WELCOME [wife's name] and [son's name]. I missed you". That would let everyone know you're waiting for others and keep them from thinking you're strange. Or maybe that's what a strange person would do. I don't know.

Travisma 1,317 Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Now if you dress in a PennyWise clown costume and start walking around the loops at dusk, you may be thought of as strange. And in some places you may be shot... djsamuel and Avatab.... Steve 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southernview -- Ray 25 Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 I spent a week at Lake Louisa State Park by myself and didn't have any strange looks. I even rode my Granny Cycle around and chatted with a few folks and no one asked any questions. One fellow was interested in the Granny Cycle. djsamuel 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wdwpoohbear...Jennifer 40 Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 I go camping at Disney by myself all the time. It's actually the only place I feel safe enough to go camping by myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is how all the rock stars travel! The "roadies" drive ahead, set everything up, and the stars fly in and get picked up at the airport. This is not weird at all! Enjoy some "me time"! (but make sure you pick up those dirty clothes and have the crumbs wiped up before the stars arrive!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
