Could any of you go alone without your kids?

I have enough miles to get 1 free ticket. It is Delta from Indy and not non-stop. It would cost a lot to get another ticket. My obsession is so strong I keep thinking I should just go during the week in May for a few days by myself - ds6 is still in school.

I know it is just an excuse but those miles just sit around with no good option of using them. Delta does not fly much of anywhere from Indy non-stop that my family would go.

I don't even know if it is hard to use miles - I have never done it before.

I just don't know if I could make my son understand. He would probably freak out if he knew I was going without him.

Re: Could any of you go alone without your kids?

It is HARD to find seats available if you've only got 25,000. Have you already checked?

As for could I go? Don't think I could get away with it without DH! DS5... maybe. But I probably wouldn't tell him.

Re: Could any of you go alone without your kids?

We have been before without the kids when they were very young.
And much to our youngest DD horror we are going without them this July.

Re: Could any of you go alone without your kids?

I would go without my boys in a heart beat. No thinking about it required. It is so much fun to do it with just adults. You can be silly without the kids rolling their eyes and being embarrassed about us having fun

GO GO GOOOOOOOO

Yes, I'm afraid your DS would be traumatized.

Perhaps you should donate your miles to my Delta mileage account.

This would possibly prevent someone from having to undergo years of therapy..

And it would make me VERY happy!!!

Re: Could any of you go alone without your kids?

I could not do a solo trip without DD. Now ask me again in a few years....and that may be a different story.
For me part of the magic is in her eyes.

Re: Could any of you go alone without your kids?

No kids here, but I have done WDW by myself. OK, I was already at WDW on business (probably John Denver's last ever appearance in Florida) and wife and I were just at WDW only two weeks earlier. I've been to Universal by myself even more times, including a one week convention for Seagrams at Universa at the 7 month old Portofino Bay Hotel (about a month before the merger of Vivendi and Seagrams) and several surgical side trips while I was in Orlando for a pick-up/delivery at one of the nearby lighting companies.

Re: Could any of you go alone without your kids?

I have every intention of going it alone. Some day. When my kids and hubby turn to me and say "Not Disney World AGAIN?" That's when I book my solo flight.


Or maybe earlier.

My DW and I go occasionally w/o kids and have a blast.
You can ride the rides you want and go at your own pace.
It much more relaxing that way

Truly, I think WDW should be an adult park banning all children.

(Ok - I'm just kidding.)

Re: Could any of you go alone without your kids?

not when they were little. when they were young it was part of the fun was seeing them react to the magic. we are going without them in september for our anniversary but my youngest is 18 . i would never go alone , alone without anybody. I would not enjoy it being by myself for vacations. .

Andrea, I don't even know how to check? I also didn't know the number if miles you have above 25,000 makes any difference? Hmmm.
