Going Solo? No problem!
Let's face it... your friends or family might not "get" the whole going to Walt Disney World a lot thing, and then when you try to talk them into a trip involving meeting people from the Internet, well, it's just not gonna fly with them. The good news is that you can still attend Reunion 2011 if you'd have to go solo and you can have a great time! In Episode 726 of WDW Today, Kim Knight was in the same exact situation some of you may find yourself in of wanting to attend Reunion 2011, but you'd have to come solo and that is a little intimidating for you. Take a listen to the episode for some tips by Kim and the others on the show.
For those who are considering a solo trip for Reunion or have already booked their solo trip, here are some more tips to help you ensure your solo trip is a big success.
- Check out who is following the Reunion Twitter account and start clicking names and seeing what people are writing. Follow a few that look to be of interest and start talking with folks. It doesn't matter that you don't know each other, everyone loves to talk on Twitter!
- If you're a member of another Disney site and there is a message board, look for others who you may know from there that are attending Reunion. As a note of courtesy, please do not spam other sites with Reunion stuff. Follow the rules of the site and try to be subtle as not to cause a ruckus.
- For the meets you'd like to attend, be sure to sign up for Plancast (it's free) and join the meets you're planning on attending. Plancast is a great way to let others know you'll be at a meet and for you to see who else will be there and start a conversation!
- Once you're at Walt Disney World for Reunion 2011, don't be shy! Feel free to walk right up to someone and introduce yourself. I think you'll find most people really accommodating and friendly and before long, you'll have your own "crew" of friends that you'll be hanging out with for the weekend
