That time when I went to Disneyland ALONE


First thing first, was it worth it ? Duh obviously it’s Disneyland the happiest place on earth. 

Like every other person who has had the thought of going alone to Disney even I had a lot of questions so I thought of taking expert advice,  the concierge and the guest service people of my hotel.  I was staying in an all expense paid hotel next to Disneyland making the hotel staff experts on this topic, mostly everyone wanted me to do go to Disney instead of Universal Studio because of the distance. I had people tell me why do you want to go to Disneyland alone it is a family place after all ? which they are right about, but going alone is still not a bad idea. 

I went to Disney at 8 in the morning and I stayed back till 12:30 at night. I still had things I wanted to do basically the whole experience was worth it. 

Let weigh it in the whole pros and cons scale :

Pros of going ALONE: 

There is no one stoping you: From going and meeting the Disney Princess to sitting on rides like Winnie the Pooh I did it all. You literally don't have anyone judging you and telling you what is cool and what is not.

The Single Riders Line : To be honest to you there are only a very few rides where you have this option, but that feeling of cutting into the line and walking straight right in is worth it. 

You can just make yourself at home 
You will meet new people: It is more than normal to start talking to people around you after being in the same line for around 25 minutes or so. I had kids around me teaching me Disney trivia from the length of  Rapunzel's hair to the importance of watching Pinocchio. 

Much needed me time: We all as humans need to learn to embrace our own company, with a sea full of people around you it is amazing how much time you get to self reflect and enjoy little things. 

Best view for everything : It is harder to find a good place to stand to watch the parade and fireworks when you have a lot of people with you. When you are alone you just fit right in. 


Cons: 

You are alone: Every ride that you get on the first question that you will get is “ how many people?” and for the first few times  saying “Just me” will be an awkward feeling, but soon you will notice it has a nice ring to it. 

Things to do when ALONE in Disneyland 

Read a book: If you enjoy reading carry a book along, the wait to get onto rides is long at times. 

Carry a iPod or a tablet: Play a game or listen to music if you thinking standing alone in the line could get awkward. 

Eat it all: There is no one to judge you eat anything and everything that you would like. 







There where times where I felt alone, but I would not trade this experience for anything in the world, sometimes you just do things even if you have to do it alone.

Treat Others As You Want To Be Treated

My motto has always been when in doubt write it out, I have been thinking about this for a really long time and I think I have finally  found the words.  You got to do something for me, think about the last time you bumped into someone or someone by mistake hit your hand. I doubt you can recall this instance now think of the time when someone said something to you which made you feel really small or miserable. I am sure you could think of at least one or two. Look at it this way when someone bumped into you it must have hurt you that time may be it even left your skin red, got a few reactions out of you. On the other hand when someone said something to you, randomly used a few words which left no physical scar on you it is this instance that you clearly remember, you know why because it is the way they made you feel.  The sad fact is that we have all done this, we have become the generation th...

Airport Romance- Chapter three

This is the moment I know I should say something to her something that would make her feel better, but I am out of words. It is so refreshing to see someone who is so in touch with her emotions. “God, here I am telling you my life story and I don’t even know anything about you. So what are you running from?” saying this her switch has worked again, there is a massive smile on her face and the spark is coming back. “I am running from my work, same old boring story.” “It cannot be that bad, what do you work as?” “ I am an actor.” “An actor, I haven’t met one before, are you any good.” “ Decent, I have a few fans here and there.” “Give me you phone.” “Oh okay, here you go.” I am not sure what she is looking for, but I can see her trying to google something. “You call yourself decent? God how many awards have you won?” “I have  a long way to go trust me.” There it is again she knows I am an actor and just like everyone else she is going to act all weird now. ...
