[@jesshollister1339]

I never knew people thought it was such a big taboo to travel on your own!! Solo travel is the ultimate gift to yourself 🙌🏼💪🏻 everyone should experience it at least one!! Brill video Charlotte 💝

[@CharlotteRuff]

I have a blast on my solo trips! I'm going on my third in 3 weeks! Love your tips! I've learned so much from your videos. My advice to anyone considering solo trips..DO IT! You won't regret it.

[@lesleymcmullan3859]

A few years ago I was in 50s primetime with my Son ( single Mum trip ) and at the next table was a lovely young lad from Australia, he was solo tripping around the US, we got talking and spent about 2 hours just yaking away. It was lovely to hear all about his adventures and as Id been to WDW plenty I shared loads of little tips with him. We ended up hanging out the rest of the park day with him and had a great wee day, he was only 18 and my Son was 15 at the time so was great company for him too 😊

[@CharlotteRuff]

Awwww that's awesome xx

[@LittleOwlLoves]

After watching this I feel much more confident about doing it on your own. Great tips! I want to go back so bad and I'm thinking that no-one in my family have a massive budget for going anytime soon so a solo trip is potentially on the cards x

[@mkdebs9807]

I loved my Solo trip this year. Didn't feel lonely at all. I spoke to so many people and I'm now friends with a couple on Facebook that I ended up spending a few hours with in AK. I Probably wouldn't have had all those interactions and met such lovely people had I not been solo. I just wish I could afford to go back and for longer. Like you said I was planned and organised and that relieved any thing that may have caused stress. And the guy at immigration was lovely there was a whole queue of people waiting and all he wanted to do was tell me his favourite rides. 😊

[@CharlotteRuff]

Thanks for your comment Debbie. I think so many people are daunted by the thought of being lonely that it puts them off going. So glad that you found your own way to do it xx

[@shannondyer7242]

I’ve really loved binging all your Disney videos lately! So much so that I’ve decided to go to Disneyland Paris solo next year. I haven’t been since I was 4 (I’m 21 now) and I haven’t got anyone to go with so I’m going anyway! Can’t wait to plan it! Thank you for the great videos Charlotte! ❤️

[@serafina20]

Great tips! I'm taking my first trip to Disney World this summer and I'll be solo. I'm nervous but so excited. I was glad to see your travel blogs on your trip; made me feel less alone.

[@tracychan7252]

serafina20 me too going for solo trip in may

[@irulp]

Amazing video, so many useful tips, even for non solo trips!!! xxxx

[@taylor7177]

As someone who has done three solo trips now, I agree with every single one of your tips! Great advice xx

[@CharlotteRuff]

Amazing - thank you Taylor xx

[@gallaghim]

Very insightful video, thanks for the tips. I caught the Disney World bug recently when I started to seriously consider going once the Star Wars Galaxies Edge park is open, though I wouldn't be able to make it there for a couple of yrs at least. I'm glad you touched on the awkwardness/loneliness aspects, as they are the major parts that make me hesitant. I have been on three solo trips before, and sure each time those aspects of it certainly did affect the trip in some way. But at the end of the day you just roll with it, and be glad you did instead of regretting not doing it. I think for me personally it's because i'm an introverted older male, and let's be honest there is a bit of a stigma there. But again, do it & deal with it or don't and regret it. I'm hoping to be able to afford staying on site to complete the experience. I love the idea of just catching a bus and suddenly you're at the Magic Kingdom. Maybe you could confirm what I hear quite a bit that on your own you do get through things faster? In my tentative plans for the tip I slotted in 10 days, basically 2 per park (inc Star Wars), but i'm thinking shaving a day or two off might work. Also, is the WIFI around the park reliable? Sorry for all the questions. :)

[@theshape7214]

gallaghim try the Dis forums

[@gallaghim]

[@CharlotteRuff]

Hope you have an amazing time xx

[@andrewb9790]

Thanks Charlotte! You're inspiring me to do this solo! Great video!

Thanks Charlotte for the video! It's so cool how solo traveling is becoming more popular! All of your tips really opened my mind and I would love to take a solo trip one day!

[@CharlotteRuff]

I hope you get to experience solo travel one day xx

[@MichaelaandDarren]

Me and my wife love the videos Charlotte really informative! 😀

[@CharlotteRuff]

Thanks guys xx

[@marinaderesende]

Im going on my Solo Disney Trip next year to Celebrate my 30th bday on the Halloween parties, of both Universal and Disney! Gotta say you kind of inspired me to do it. I know I already commented that in another video of yours, but id doesnt hurt to say that again!!! haha Beyond excited, since ive never done either of the Halloween Parties, and its been a dream for so long, and even though I still have over a year to accomplish that, the planning has been absolutely great. Just to think how much Ill enjoy some ME time, and to be able to do everything in my own time, is just amazing!!! So thanks for the inspiration. Oh, and I just became a part of the Facebook group. Ive been 9 times to Disney, but I love how we discover new things every day, and Im excited to see what the group has to offer!!!!

[@emmacp333]

im doing a solo trip around halloween next year too - can't seem to convince any friends or family to come and i'm desperate to get there!! maybe i'll see you around =)

[@perpetualautumn6773]

I'm one of those Americans that love the British. My daughter says I'm obsessed with British people.😊

[@marloeslekx]

Thanks for the lovely tips! Currently still dreaming about going to wdw for the first time.

[@CharlotteRuff]

Awwww I hope you get to go there soon xx

[@SAETerrier]

Perfect timing! I actually start my solo trip tomorrow morning haha

[@CharlotteRuff]

Amazing. I hope you have an amazing time xx

[@LesReadBooks]

Congrats on 20k subscribers!! Seriously love your channel. Also, I will 100% do a solo Disney trip one day. :)

[@CharlotteRuff]

Thank you so much Leslie xx

[@rain-wanders]

Love this, thank you so much!! I haven't been to Disney in over a decade because no one wants to go with me, so I am planning a solo trip in October or November. I am still finalizing dates!

[@CharlotteRuff]

Amazing. I hope you have a wonderful time xx

[@taylor7177]

You will love it. I started solo trips for the same reason and just love them

[@starryeyes8980]

Thanks for this video. Very helpful :)

[@CharlotteRuff]

You're welcome heather xx

[@kristinmcgary8926]

please do an updated whats in my bag-solo trip for us all! we love those!

[@CharlotteRuff]

Got it on the list xx

[@shonapushedplay4326]

That's quite the first date! Obviously I love solo travel and can't recommend it enough.

[@CharlotteRuff]

Haha yeah right! That's what I was thinking xx

[@HappyPlaceandBeyond]

I have 48 days until my solo trip. You inspired me when i first watched your solo vlogs and as im getting closer to my trip, I rewatched your solo vlog series again. This video was invaluable. Thank you so much.

[@flaviadiaz6289]

Tracy G i did a solo trip back in September and it was perfect. Best time of my life

[@HappyPlaceandBeyond]

I really can not wait to do this. Im so pleased that you had an amazing time too.

[@CharlotteRuff]

Thank you Tracy. 43 days for me. I hope you have a wonderful time xx

[@HappyPlaceandBeyond]

Charlotte Ruff thank you. Hope you enjoy your trip too 😉

[@Mangzorz]

I've been thinking about going on a solo trip for a long while now. Might be therapeutic in a way, haha. Some nice one on one fun time on your own in a place that is often seen as just for friends and family. Might be interesting, thanks for the tips

[@gretamorales4150]

thank you for all your tips! i'm going solo this may!!!

[@CharlotteRuff]

I hope you have a wonderful time greta xx

[@kristinmcgary8926]

be you at disney, seriously no one cares, it is amazing to just relax and know everyone there is themselves and loving it too and doesnt care that you are giddy about meeting characters at 30, haha or dressed as a princess at halloween, it is such a special welcoming place :)

[@kirstywallace30]

I am going to be booking a solo trip for Spring next year. I can't wait to have a fabulous two weeks and it will be my first time to Orlando.

[@CharlotteRuff]

So excited for you Kirsty xx

[@colleenforrest7936]

Maybe Disney will start making less accomodations for singles. Perhapse a Disney capsule hotel or a shared room hostel style hotel

[@erikalulea3608]

The thing I feel most nervous about to make solo trip (will be my first time) is to eat alone. Greetings from sweden.

[@MadMarineinWonderland]

I tend to go to Disneyland Paris mostly solo because I don"t live far away at all and I have an Annual Passport. I was quite scared the first time, but I actually really enjoy the times when I'm alone in the parks. I completely agree on the fact that you can do whatever you want (Rockn'rollercoaster six times in a row, oops) and don"t feel bad about it. The only thing I don't really do is table service restaurants like the Auberge, Bistrot de Rémy etc because I don't want to spend that long at a table on my own. Buffets are a good option though because you can manage your meal at your own pace, I'd definitely recommend it to anyone having issues while picking their meal plan.

[@CharlotteRuff]

Yeah I get that about the table service. That's how i felt too xx

[@lou-annewilliams6074]

I love table service solo, especially character dining. I can experience 4 of them for the price of a group of 4 doing 1. It's a much better bang for your buck.

[@CharlotteRuff]

I guess if you’re paying for all 4 people but I don’t ever pay for others so it works out the same xx

[@enidjensen4823]

Thanks for sharing. I have thought about doing a solo vacation to WDW, but always end up going with my older sister ( who is a DVC Member) and other family members. We have made a lot of great memories together, but there are times I just like to go off and explore by myself. Then I end up feeling guilty because I wasn't participating in one of the group activities. Still it is on my Bucket List to do a WDW vacation solo. I was wondering if you made ADR's when going to any of the restaurants solo? You mentioned the Yachtsman Steakhouse, did you have a ADR for that?

[@CharlotteRuff]

I really recommend going solo at least once xx

[@Kakeyko]

I love going alone to disney world ...

[@lou-annewilliams6074]

I've done many trips solo. Disney and other. Some were just getting to location and a day or 2 by myself and then meet up with friends. But most of them are purely solo. I'm getting ready for my 2nd solo trip to Disney World and I've had 3 to disneyland.

[@CharlotteRuff]

Sounds wonderful! Have a fab time xx

[@NathanStaker]

I absolutely loved my solo trip i've just got back from, so thanks for inspiring me to do it :) These tips are perfect, I found exactly the same things. I met up with a few internet friends also bumped into a couple of people I follow too. I didn't notice though that I was stood right behind Ellie and Claire and didn't realise until I watched some of my vlog footage back. What am I like?!? I found that vlogging the trip was also a good way to combat the loneliness, I did get a few weird looks not because I was solo but because I was vlogging (do you get the same?), also gotta love the people who photobomb my vlogs - had plenty of that! haha. Am interested to hear your opinions on a solo Disney trip when you haven't got friends on the CRP, I wonder if your experience would be any different if you aren't hanging out with friends for a lot of the trip... Thanks again for inspiring me to go solo Charlotte :) x

[@CharlotteRuff]

So glad you had an amazing time on you solo trip. I'm so pleased that I inspired you to go. I've never really noticed people looking at me while I'm vlogging unless they're making funny faces or waving at the camera in the background (I love it when they do that!) xx

[@NathanStaker]

I had such a great time, i'm already looking at booking another solo trip for next year! I think because it was my first time vlogging I was a little more aware of people looking, i'm sure next time I won't notice it as much. Took over 300GB of video (oops), so editing could take a while haha! Have a great week :) xx

[@hayley3021]

Never been solo because I’m afraid people will just look at me, like you said as a loser, and this has honestly helped given me confidence that when I do decide to go alone that no one really cares if you are by yourself.

[@taylor7177]

Hayley Neal to be honest.. Nobody will pay you a bit of attention haha. I spoke with a family in line for flight of passage and they completely assumed that my family were somewhere else within Disney. Just go and enjoy yourself! I won't go anywhere alone at home but Disney is a whole different story

[@hayley3021]

Taylor Ingram Thank you for the reassurance, I just love it so much and it’s hard because it’s so expensive when you wanna take more people.

[@CharlotteRuff]

I really hope you go xx

[@lou-annewilliams6074]

Hayley Neal I travel solo a lot. I've found people are mostly impressed when they find out you're traveling solo.

[@HannahL925]

where did you get your shirt from? i neeeeed it!

[@CharlotteRuff]

It's primark xx

[@marijesummarije8222]

181 days till my second solo trip. ADR day tomorrow 😀

[@CharlotteRuff]

Hope you have a wonderful time xx

[@Laura-we7vn]

I'm thinking of doing a solo trip do you think 2 weeks is too long? 😀 Also I have that print of top from Primark but mines a night shirt 👚 xx

[@CharlotteRuff]

Mine is too haha xx

[@lou-annewilliams6074]

Laura Bourne my 1st solo disney trip was 1.5 to 2 weeks. 7 days at disney and 3 or 4 at universal.

[@theshape7214]

Laura Bourne I’m going on a solo trip for three weeks! I have some family coming to meet me for a couple days though!

[@luciefantom5346]

Hi would you pay for the dinning plan? Great video. X x

[@CharlotteRuff]

I think if I knew I was going to eat at a lot of table service then yes xx

[@luciefantom5346]

Charlotte Ruff which we are, thank you for your reply. Also I don’t do Facebook and feel I am missing out on your new group chats, can u join without a Facebook account?

[@Touchofaweepingangel]

You should turn your blog into a podcast. Just read your posts to us :)

[@CharlotteRuff]

Haha I'd LOVE to do a podcast xx

[@NarrativeEscapes]

No one is looking at you for travelling alone through Orlando airport security? There is an argument to say this is one benefit of being a woman. I got grilled big time on my solo trip, by three officers. It wasn't...comfortable. Once that was over my solo trip was awesome :)

[@dianesmith395]

Awesome and inspiring XXUK 💜💜😂💜

[@CharlotteRuff]

Thank you Diane xx

[@true2disney232]

im gonna eat character dinning alone and im kind of nervous but how can go about having my picture taken im scared to ask for help from other guest

[@CharlotteRuff]

The character attendant will always take your photo xx

[@thomasallen3225]

So should I use Uber when I head over from the UK?

[@CharlotteRuff]

It's super easy to use xx

[@karakelly1613]

I would love to, but wouldn't dare do a solo trip. I don't actually even go to town on my own. I know it's not good. I am so scared of going anywhere alone! I get so panicky and anxious!! Would love to be braver like you, but hey ho. We are who we are.

[@CharlotteRuff]

One day Kara xx

[@magicalsnippets1336]

Have you ever been to Disneyland? If not, do you think you will ever go?

[@CharlotteRuff]

It's on the list xx

[@holllyrhode]

americans are hilarious when ppl find out im british they ask the dumbest questions like oh have u met the queen or i have a friend in bristol u might know them... lmao. my sis who worked at wdw said so many people asked whens the 3oclock parade and when it rained, they asked whens the dome roof gonna come over the park to cover us from the rain

[@gracex4466]

R u wearing a nightie😂

[@CharlotteRuff]

Yep haha xx

[@zubaerchaudhari8267]

Charlotte Ruff you’re most beautiful and sweet
