To want to visit Orlando theme parks without kids?

Would that be odd?

I really want to go to Orlando and go do all the theme parks. Eg water parks, amusement parks, we have no kids I just thought wed have the best laugh ever!

Surely there's plenty of rides for adults?

How expensive is it when you're there? I have seen really nice hotels for under 400 euro for a week
But obviously the flights are expensive at 600 each and spending money...

I'd love to do them sans kids. There are thousands of Disney nerds out there who are fully grown adults and go to Disneyland alone.

My parents in law did the Anaheim one at 50 years old. They got there when it opened and stayed till closing time which sounded like midnight or something ridiculous. They had a ball.

Go for it! I've been as a child and an adult (probably more accurate to describe me as a big child....) Loads of activities for all ages (some of the kids rides are the best).

Check out the Brits Guide to Orlando guidebook. Great reviews and lots of useful tips, including best times to visit.

I'm here now OP and there's plenty adults here without kids. I have a good friend (childless) who comes every year with her husband. She loves it! It's my 1st time in Orlando but I'd come back without kids dreams of childfree holiday

Friends of mine lived near Chessington and used to get a couple of free tickets as a goodwill gesture (assuming for increased traffic etc) at the start of the season. They had 4 kids and little money and barely even got out by themselves but she told me her DH would take the afternoon off work as did she, her MIL had the kids and the two if rhemwoudl go to Chessington and good all the rides by themselves, then come home and pretend nothing had happened. Used to make me laugh.

If you want to do it go ahead and do it.

Plenty of people do it! Go ahead and enjoy yourself! Yes, there are rides for adults and other things like shows, food etc. that you can do. I have even seen adults blogging or of vlogging about their experiences on the Disney cruises.

Fair enough if it's what you want to do. Personally I'd be put off by the number of children...nothing worse than listening to screaming children all the time when you're on holiday imo.
