125: Walt Disney World Solo Trip Recap: 3 Days, 3 Resorts, EPCOT Updates & Cruise Planning

from Well Hello Magic: A Disney Planning & Experience Podcast · host Jessica Mickelson

Send us Fan MailI just got back from a whirlwind three-day solo trip to Walt Disney World, and this episode is a full, honest recap of everything I experienced. This trip was quick, but it was packed in the best way, and I’m walking you through it all from start to finish so you can see what a short solo Disney trip really looks like.I share how this trip came together, from saying yes to a last-minute invite to navigating travel as a solo mom. I also talk about my experience flying out of a regional airport, why I continue to choose that option, and an important reminder about staying aware and trusting your instincts when traveling alone.We dive into all three resorts I stayed at in just three days, including Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, Disney’s BoardWalk Inn, and Disney’s All-Star Music Resort. I break down what each stay actually felt like, including the subtle refresh at Caribbean Beach, the convenience of the Skyliner, and my honest thoughts on the BoardWalk remodel. If you’ve been curious about the updated BoardWalk rooms, I go into detail on what stood out and what didn’t quite meet expectations.At EPCOT, I talk through some of the biggest highlights of the trip, including riding Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in 2D and why it may still cause motion sensitivity for some guests, along with Frozen Ever After and the updated faces that truly change the experience of that ride. I also spent time at GEO 82 with friends, and I share what the space is really like, who it’s best for, and why it stands out as a more elevated, adult-friendly experience inside the park.This trip also included some incredibly unique moments, like visiting multiple Club 33 lounges, navigating a rainy park day, and experiencing Disney in a different way through a VIP tour day. I talk about what those experiences were actually like, how the weather impacted the flow of the day, and what made those moments still feel special.One of the biggest themes of this trip was connection. I share what it was like to meet friends and fellow creators in real life, how that added a completely different layer to the trip, and why solo travel at Disney can feel both freeing and meaningful in a way that is very different from family trips.To wrap up the episode, I also share how we are planning for our upcoming Disney Cruise, including how we are navigating current airport concerns, why we are choosing specific travel routes, and how we are building flexibility into our plans. If you have travel coming up and are feeling unsure, this part of the episode will help you think through your options.If you love a detailed Disney trip report, are curious about solo travel, or want honest thoughts on what is new and changing at Walt Disney World, this episode is for you.Support the showHey Welcome to Well Hello Magic!Well Hell Magic Website Instagram YouTube  Pinterest Amazon Shop LTK ShopReady to Plan your Disney Vacation?Free Planning GuideJoin The Newsletter
