When I told my friends and family I was going to Disneyland alone, everyone had the same reaction. "You're going to Disneyland by yourself?" in a tone that said, "Who does that?" Truthfully, I never imagined I'd visit a theme park solo, but spending the day at Disney was something I wanted to do for my birthday. So I did it! I understand taking on a theme park alone might seem like an unrealistic thing to do. Asking strangers to take pictures of me, chatting with fellow Disney-lovers waiting in the ride lines, and getting around on my own was liberating. As an introvert, interacting with people I didn't know was a challenge, but the only way to grow is to get out of your comfort zone.
