To want to visit Orlando theme parks without kids?

Comparing rental cars, shuttles, and private car services for seniors visiting Orlando — made multi-gen trip planning way easier.

I went to Disneyland in California age 21 as my mate was marrying an American and I went over to her wedding. It was only my second visit abroad, this was almost 30 years ago.

All of four of us Brit girls had hats with our names embroidered on them and we had what I still consider one of the most fun days in my life. I still remember Brad the young chap on one of the rides. We all blew him kisses and chanted his name as the cable car he was in charge of drew away. I'm still in touch with a couple of those girls, poor Brad was as red as a beetroot.

We've done Orlando both with and without children and honestly - it's brilliant without kids. I would do it again in a second!

We went pre kids to the Disney parks in Orlando and Anaheim and also to Universal, Knots berry farm, Busch gardens etc as well as all the water parks. Have also taken DC several times. All brilliant holidays.

Dh and did a Florida holiday without kids. It was great.
It's actually a bit much for young kids. Very hot, lots of queues and sensory overload.

Oh second the recommendation to check out The DIBB!

I've been to Disney without kids so many times- I've just had babies and have an adults only trip booked for next year with a friend of mine!

Can't wait to take the kids but you can't beat an adults only trip as there is so much to do.

My parents are going by themselves later this year too.

There are loads of people without kids. Disney is very all ages friendly but universal is actually much better with older kids or no kids as there are a lot of coasters.

Check the price of park tickets before you leave the UK. The deals we got here were much better than those available in the US, especially on the doors. There are loads of forums and Facebook groups etc who can tell you the best park ticket deal.

It's not my choice of holiday at all (too Disney, too expensive, too much) but up to you OP.

And for years I have held a thought that if all theme parks had an Adults Only day/week they would make a shit ton of money.

Imagine all the fun of the fair with no bratty kids running riot, high on candyfloss, no having to pretend to be nice and let some shortie take the front row on the rollercoaaster etc

My adult trips there have been more fun than trips as a child or trips with my kids.

My kids don't enjoy the long haul flight so we've snuck off there a few times during the week their grandparents take them away

There's tons to do as an adult. Don't miss the universal parks. It's also great if you can go during an event - food and wine festival at Epcot is great, so are Halloween horror nights at Universal. Very grown up

4 of us (adults) have just returned from there - we had an amazing time!

I'd love to go again without kids but I don't want to wait that long. There's so much there for adults.

My husband went for his 18th birthday. He was the youngest there and loved it and he's not a Disney fan.

Go for it! The flights/hotels are usually v reasonable as you have seen, but make sure you budget for the theme park tickets before booking - sights like Orlando Attractions or Floridatix do deals - but tbh it can easily double the cost of your holiday.

It is v expensive once you are in the parks, got drinks/meals etc. But it's an amazing holiday.

If you are willing to change flights they can be much cheaper - were only paying £400 each

We go and I have a childless friend who goes - a lot of her holiday involves drinking in the bars she loves it!

Lots of adults without children about - you won't stand out

We went loads before we had kids. And now we have to take the children with us I can assure it's far far better without them

Re: flights, they can be as little as £300 each with thomson during term time, but I assume you're not in the UK because you talked about Euros. Have a browse on DIBB (google it) there's loads of information to help you plan & get the best deal

We went for my 30th/our first wedding anniversary (no kids then) had a great time. Didn't spend as much time at Magic Kingdom as when we went with DD last year & we loved it. Universal was great for big rides but we still liked watching the parades and meeting characters.
It can be done relatively cheaply, hotel can be basic when its just adults, take picnics into the parks, eating out us cheap (there's loads of buffet places).
Do it!!

Lot's of people go without kids, there is plenty to do for adults. It is great place for any age.

On an expensive note then yes it is expensive. Budget £2k each to get there, car, hotel in decent location and tickets. Just Disney tickets are about £250. Double that if you want to do the other parks.

Then there is parking, food in parks and a current poor exchange rate.

It's worth every penny but I would save until you can go without scrimping.

i go every year without kids.

Disney is magical for all ages and there is lots of adult related stuff to do too such as drinking around the different country's of Epcot.

I love it and don't have kids. The odd person in the UK will think you are weird but no Americans will think that

My brother and his wife go alone every year. They are grandparents. I've been with them twice and each time done 2 solid weeks of nothing but Disney. We are already looking at next year. I never thought I'd love Disney but I do even though I don't think about it from one visit to the next. It's like medicine for my troubled heart.

I do go on other holidays but they are very different to the Disney ones.

Oh and I'm a granny many times over also.

Not at all. You can have a fantastic time there at any age.

I see nothing strange in this. I had a manager once who travelled around, visiting theme parks in the US and especially the roller-coasters, which he rode multiple times in a row (it's obviously a totally different experience if you go in the first car, last car, or somewhere in the middle. I had no idea.) He retired soon after, so he was approaching 60 I think.

DH and I went before we had DS, we had a great time. We went last year with DS and we are planning next year, it's great fun with him but different.
