| I have went once without DD, it was last year when I took my Girls Trip! I enjoyed myself and got to see a whole other side of Disney, but I do enjoy when DD goes.

| My husband and I went alone last October to Disney and left my two sons home (17 and 4) and had such a wonderful time. My in-laws came over and watched them in our home so as not to break their routine too much. It was hard leaving them, but we had such a great time -- did so much by ourselves! We were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. We then took both boys back in January -- had an equally great time, just two very different kinds of trips!

| We go without the kids all the time! When the boys were younger, we were in the military and couldn't afford it. Now we can afford it and we bought DVC so that the boys will be able to take their own families in the future! We love going "just us." It's become "our place" and we have a wonderful time!

| We LOVE taking our boys (9 and 4) to WDW. That said, DH and I are waiting for the day when we can go alone (or at least, when the boys are 10 or 15 years older and we can all do exactly what we want). There are magical things to do at WDW with kids, and without them!! |

| We don't have kids and we love going to Disney - we can be like kids all over again and can forgot about our adult lives while we're there.

| Yikes. I don't even have kids yet and I love it! I do find a lot of people who don't go though do view it as a kids place. Once they go they change their mind though! I think people think of it as a place where you meet Mickey and ride Dumbo and thats it. I am just hoping I like it as much when I have kids with me! I am sure it will be more hassle but WELL worth it.

| Our first trip May 2005 my DH and I went alone since we didn't have kids back then. I was alittle worried about not going with kids but we had such a wonderful time. We did some tours of the parks, rode all the rides we wanted to as well as several wonderful meals while watching the fireworks. The best was my DH playing several rounds of golf at different courses while I slept in and enjoyed the spa. I think if you love Disney movies and having fun...you won't feel so weird being without kids. We had the most relaxing stay and my DH wants to try out several other golf courses when we return.

| I never noticed more kidless couples at WDW than I did on our last trip. We've been 5 times w/just each other. I was poking around to see what he thought about this December, and DH said that we'd have to leave my baby with my parents! I'm not ready for that, but thought it was pretty funny that he was still willing to go.

| I have been alone, my husband and I - we stayed at Wilderness Lodge that year and it was so much fun. That was before we had kids and we did Disney the adult version - lol - we ate and drank wine everywhere and had a hugely wonderful time. One day we will do it again. Ella, yes it is well worth it with the kids - it is more stressful - but the first trip I took with both the boys - was by far, the best trip ever - seeing Disney through their eyes was so awesome. Every part of me that loved Disney all for myself - just totally melted away and now we LOVE it for the boys. These trips we do a lot of things that I've done so many times before - but it's so magical for them - it's so worth it!

| I go without kids all the time for work. My kids understand, but they really want to go with me. I do have to bring home some kind of "prize". I look at it as scouting out the new stuff so when I take them I know exactly what to do with them. Besides I can ride the stuff they aren't big enough for yet. Have a great trip!

| We don't have kids yet so we've always done Disney without kids. As much as I love being about to do whatever I feel like doing, I honestly can't wait to have kids to take along. It must be wonderful to see Disney through their eyes! ![]()
