I'm only 7 or so minutes into this video and had to tell you that I so resonate with losing who you are when you are a mom. My boys are 16 and 13, so getting more independent and I find myself not even knowing what I like anymore! I have no idea what to do with myself these days. But starting to embrace rediscovering who I am as Tara and not just Mom. Thank you so much for this!
🎉🎉
It's such a journey finding yourself and honestly new self again. Motherhood changes you in so many ways. 🫶🏼
Not me standing at the sink doing dishes just cryinggg at our chat at the beginning. It’s so true. People ask me “what do you like to do?” And since becoming a mom I honestly don’t know anymore. Now I’m really considering doing a solo day trip as well!
💜💚
Virtual hugs girl!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼 rediscovering yourself is tough but so worth it.
❤❤❤
Hugs mama. Do it!❤
It actually makes me feel a little better that losing yourself in motherhood is a thing others feel too! I went to a naturopath recently and on our initial meeting she was asking me questions and getting to know me and she asked me what I liked to do. I sat there not knowing what to say and I started to cry! I have no idea what I like to do anymore 😢
Disney is something I love and I’ve been playing with the idea of just my husband and I going without the kids but it’s the mom guilt that kicks in….maybe I just need to do it!
I just need to find myself again 💕
Definitely do it!! My husband and I have gone without the kids twice and are going again this April (we have 4 kids)! It’s so fun. So relaxing, you can do what you want and go at your own pace. It’s just so important to have time to connect as a couple without kids constantly interrupting 😂
We love to go even without doing a park visit! We hop around to all the resorts and eat at different restaurants, get the refillable resort mugs and fill them at every stop, go to Disney Springs to shop and eat, and usually walk about 20,000 steps a day. It’s the best.
@@sarahhunter4992I may just try and plan and figure out pricing today! We booked our first Disney cruise for our family for next March so saving for that but I’m gonna see if I can make this work! I think it would be amazing!
I love this video. It's so inspiring. I talk in therapy all the time about feeling like I've lost my identity since I've become a wife/mom/stay-at-home parent. And then digging even deeper realized how much I never really knew what I wanted even before this because my personality makes me the type of person who puts everyone first and forgets myself completely. I wish I had the financial capacity to take a solo trip, really anywhere right now, but especially to Disney, so I'm just sitting here living vicariously through you! We haven't been able to take the kids to Disney yet, so I certainly couldn't bring myself to go there without them going first, but I'm going to talk to my husband about working out some sort of little trip, even if it's just a day, like you said, so I can "fill my cup" too! I'm happy for you, girl! 💜💚
I just did my solo mom trip this past September and it was so nice. It made me step out of my comfort zone but I def missed my boys. And of course brought home some gifts 😅
🎭🎺📿💚💜💚💟Good for you Ashley! I remember my very first solo time in Disney…. I too just walked around in Magic Kingdom taking it all in and trying to figure out how to enjoy it without my family. I am a Disney solo pro now, currently planning my 5th solo trip! Can’t wait for the next vlog. 🎉
So important to do! Well done! I love that you went to the GF for fireworks, my favorite!!💜💚🎉
GF is such a great fireworks spot!!
💚💜💛 love your channel!! Starting my own soon because you and Bekah Hart have inspired me!!
My besties and I are all Disney girls, and we take adults only and/or solo trips all the time! Personally, it's about once a year for me and I LIVE for those trips! We focus mainly on food, snacks, and cocktails during those trips since the kids aren't there to dictate having to eat at places that offer chicken tenders. LOL
I would love to stay at Riviera, have an all day VIP. Tour and eat at Topolinos for dinner before calling it a night. That would be my dream solo mom. I have to say, this was a killer vlog and you got us all day dreaming ❤️❤️❤️
I would love to go to Disney World whether it be a solo trip or with my Fiancé! Don’t have the courage or money to do so yet. 💜💚
My dream trip would include staying in the Cinderella suite (is that what is called?) in the castle.
That would be incredible!!
I’d love to take advantage of the spa services at the grand Floridian,order room service and just have a slow and relaxing Disney day,shop at Disney springs and end the being watching fireworks with a view from
My room 🤞 Fantasy 😂 But a girl can dream !! Now I need to find that sugar daddy 😂
Love your video’s! You are so authentic. Proud of you for taking a solo trip. Yay! ! 👑🍬💜💛💚
💜💚 What a fun day!! I totally understand saying you lose yourself when you become a mom. You kinda have to date yourself to see what you like 😂
I mean basically 😂
💜💚 Loved this video ☺️
💜💛📿 “internet sisters”

Hey, Ashley...kudos to you for taking this solo trip. Remember, you're raising little girls who will grow up to be young women. It's important for them to see your independent side and you choosing yourself when needed. Those are healthy things to model for them. BTW, why was my favorite part of this video you running to catch the MK bus. Honorable mention goes to "hi, bunny"...LOL
💜💚💜
I’m a newly single mom and fortunately live 30 min from Disney. After 6 months of doing about every other week of a small solo-mom day trip (when he’s at his dad’s), it’s still very difficult to go without my son. I still look around at all the babies and toddlers his age and look at all of the things he loves and miss him so much, but I know I have to take time for me to “fill that cup” in such a sensitive time in my life right now. I love spending my “me” time at Disney and finding myself again- I even hyped myself to ride Tower of Terror alone and that ride is terrifying to me 😂
I think solo trips are empowering (at Disney or anywhere else) and love videos like these that encourage that. Finding yourself again and taking love and care for yourself is so important to be able to fill your child’s cup to the max ❤️
💜💚
Hugs mama ❤
Dream Mom Day - Stay at Riviera, Skyliner to Epcot, Sit in France and people watch - then eat/drink/shop/chill around World Showcase the rest of the day.
Ugh. Even if I can’t swing a Disney trip, this is so inspiring to take just 24 hours to remember who I was before being “mom”!
Yes it is. Book a 1 night stay at a hotel in your city and do what makes YOU feel good … even if that means just sitting in the hotel room watching trashy tv, painting your nails, reading a book, and eating a whole
Bag of Doritos to yourself 😂😂😂 you deserve it!
Every mom ever needs to hear your Ted talk for sure. I never want to do anything by myself because the mom guilt is real. I’m glad that you enjoyed your mom trip and was able to see the positives in things and really enjoy yourself 💜💚💛🎉🍾
Taking my first solo trip in April for my 40th birthday. Mom guilt and nerves are setting in fast!💜💚
Can't wait to watch more videos to show my support. Ashley, you put out such great content. Keep being your authentic self. 💜💚💜💚💜💚
Thank you so much!! 🥹
I am a grandma of three and i go for my therapy every year and stay for three days!
I feel no guilt when i go solo. I honestly have a blast! I am Like a 15 -year -old in a sixty year old body lol. We took our kids to Disney land and world quite a few times. No one enjoys it like i do.
I Love the thrill rides, all of them. Good for you, do not feel guilt. You deserve it!🎉❤😊i
I’m 44 years old and I’ve been a mom and wife for so long I don’t know myself anymore. This vlog let me know it’s time to find out who I am. ❤
I did a solo trip 3rd week of January and it was the first time I had been away from my 2 and 4 yr old for more than 24 hours. I felt a lot of the same emotions. The whole finding yourself and what interests you is so true. I definitely came home a different mom. Healthier with a direction. I did a 5 night trip and it was probably a day or two too long but it definitely gave me some time to find myself. Glad you enjoyed your trip!!
I am going for 2 nights in April by myself! In 2023 I went for 3 nights alone for the Princess weekend and I went home saying I’d never go solo again - simply because I missed my husband and son. But here I am 😂 I think 2 nights will be the perfect amount of time!
That was Dean and I after our first mom and dad only trip. Six months later we went on another one 😂😂
I have a question….do you think the private transportation is worth it for 1 person!? Trying to decide…with my family we use private but last year for just myself I used Mears…
💜💚💛 Hey there from a fellow Pooh fan! I had a Pooh themed room as a kid too! 😄 and it’s so sweet because now Pooh is one of my son’s favorites too, and my 8 week old daughter met Pooh a few days ago and literally lit up when she saw him 🥹🥹
Congrats on 20k subscribers!! Looks like you had such a fun trip!
I follow both you and Bekah, and I have to say I love ya'll's content. I'm planning our 1st Disney World trip for February 2025. Being a Cali family, we go to Disneyland a few times a year. Watching content like yours just keeps us pumped for our first trip and all of the exciting things we can do aside from just going to the parks.
I really enjoyed watching this vlog and living vicariously through you as I am going through postpartum again as a momma of 3 😅. You have inspired me to put a solo trip on my bucket list. My husband and I did the Keys to the Kingdom tour this past summer on our 15 year anniversary trip, and it was fantastic! You definitely need to do it someday ☺️.
I would stay at the Grand Floridian or Polynesian club level, get a manicure/ pedicure at the Grand Floridian spa and lay at the pool, get dinner at California Grill, and watch the fireworks inside Magic Kingdom
I definitely need to do more. I went to WDW for a 1 day conference and my husband said stay an extra day. I bought a hopper pass and went to 3 parks and it was the food and wine festival. lol. Best decision of my life. I want to do it again but I do miss my son when I’m gone.
💜💚💜💚I think I would literally just walk through all the stores if I did a solo trip. We can’t go in a store and actually look at things with our daughter 😂
I did a solo trip for my 40th birthday. It was absolutely wonderful!! Being able to just walk around and soak in the details. Getting to browse through the shops at my own pace. Maybe im the the odd one out, but no i did not feel any guilt. The guilt has to stop. We are moms but we're also women who deserve a chance to breath and get a break.
One of my favorite videos of you lately💛💛 I’m a first time mom of a 11 month old & I struggle a lot with not knowing anything other then “moming” I never have 5 mins to myself 🫠
🎭 💜💚💛what an awesome room location (and firework spot at GF)!
I did a solo Disneyland, universal Hollywood, and Knotts weekend alone last April. Was able to get good B-roll and save on food. But definitely hard to figure “what does MOMMY feel like doing?” Also was kinda scared in the hotel alone for sleep time.😬
🎉 OMG, after watching your video and looking at my own pictures and video, I realized my family and I were in Magic Kingdom the same day as you! We were leaving for our mid-day break as the parade was ending on Main Street. Then we had dinner at Columbia Harbor House an hour after you! So crazy. I would've loved to have met you IRL. Your channel was vital in helping me plan our trip! I'm glad you enjoyed your solo trip too, it's awesome you got to do that. If I only had one day in Disney by myself, I'd splurge on Park Hopper and do all four parks in one day. That would be fun. 💜💚💛
I loved this so much! I almost did a solo trip for my birthday last year but got too nervous and chickened out. I’m glad to know I’m not the only one. Just gotta push through and do it! Thanks for sharing your trip with us ❤
This video got me in the feels this morning. I relate to so much of what you said about losing yourself and really needing to think about what you like (not as a wife, mom, vlogger, etc, but as yourself). Thank you for sharing what many of us have felt. I’m glad you had an enjoyable trip!
As a stay at home mom of three, sometimes we forget about time for just us. “Me time.” I’m finally taking my first solo trip at the beginning of March for my birthday. I know I will miss my husband and kiddos so much, but this is something I need to do for myself. I’m staying at French Quarter too! You have inspired me to finally make this trip happen! I’m SO nervous but also excited. Thanks for all the great tips and advice.
📿So, I do not have children and I have never been on a solo trip anywhere (Disney would be my dream solo trip), BUT I understand your weird feeling. You get so used to, "What do you want to do, Lucy? What do you want to do, Bella? What do you want to do, Dean?" You unintentionally put yourself on the back burner and your day is magically filled. Once you get a trip by yourself and not doing all this stuff it's like, "Oh wow! I never really paid attention that I don't really schedule things for myself." Your "thing", if you will, becomes seeing your family happy that you forget what it is you like to do. I know, a total tangent, but all that to say, I understand how you felt.
So, for my dream solo trip, I would want to stay at Art of Animation in the Little Mermaid section. I would spend my entire day at Magic Kingdom because that is the park that really makes me feel at home. I know I would go on rides like Little Mermaid and Carousel of Progress because those are two favorites, but I think I would probably do what you did and take in the day. I would stroll around and soak in the magic of where I am (no pun intended). I might do some character meet-and-greets, but not really sure which ones. Not sure how long my dream vacation would be, but I would enjoy it while it lasts.
I'm glad your able to time for yourself, I know exactly what you mean WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO, trying to figure things out to make every one happy you kind of loose yourself I'm a care taker for my sister I've been taking care of her most of her life normal babysitting now a few year's ago I'm her care taker I kind of lost myself I don't know what makes me happy , enjoy your time you deserve it
Hi Ashley! So happy you were able to do this trip! I agree being a mom of a toddler it’s easy to forget what else brings you joy outside of being a mom. Thank you for reminding us to still take time till fill our own cups! If money were no object I would also stay at the Grand Floridian and do a theme park view! 💜💚
💜💚💛👑 I love that you did this! I’ve thought a lot about whether I’d want to do a solo Disney trip and I don’t think it’s for me but my husband and I do try to go without the kids once a year. And I take at least one girl’s trip a year without the fam. What you did inspire me to do is to schedule overnight staycations a couple times a year where I can just relax, binge read and have some silence and solitude! If I did do a Disney solo trip, while GFlo is my fave, I’d probably go with riviera and eat my weight in those bar riva chicken sandwiches 🤣
So happy you got to do this. Hope you had a nice break, even though I bet you missed ur kids a ton❤I'm going on an overnight trip with my mam next month. Shopping and a nice dinner and breakfast. It will be the 1st time I've ever had a night away from my children since I gave birth to them. The oldest is 9. I'm excited but also very nervous.
I just came back from our Disney trip last week and we stay at Port Orleans Riverside 😊 now I’m having thoughts of doing a solo trip. One of my dream resorts is the Polynesian with a VIP tour in all four parks 😃 also dining at Victoria and Albert’s.
We almost have the same perfect solo (no budget) mom trip lol only thing missing is a massage at GF Spa and a Seats and Treats ticket for HEA 🥰 and I’d probably be crying the whole time missing my husband and kids. Well maybe not during the massage 🤣 💜💚💛
💜💚💜💚 I'm trying to talk hubby into me going solo. He isn't a Disney fan so I think a solo trip would be perfect. Since my kids are all adults I wouldn't really have the mom guilt but I would probably miss hubby. We just got home yesterday from our trip but I am already ready to go back.
Good evening I go on my first solo trip in July for 3 nights staying at pop my first there my husband and I was just stayed 9 days at POFQ the week between Christmas and New Year and loved it but I am excited and nervous for my solo trip thank you for your blog
I feel this so much, I totally get it Ashley. I have never taken a solo trip anywhere yet. And I feel like I need thay sometime. Especially after the year that me and my husband went thru with our 2nd child. Backstory, my 8 month old was born in June of last year and she was born with some complications that resulted in her living in the hospital for almost 3 months. The constant going back and forth to the hospital to a toll mentally and physically. So yeah, my point to all this, I totally get it. I need to rediscover myself, before motherhood.
Love your channel! Your spirit is so beautiful and the energy creating your content is just incredible. Very inspiring! Thanks for sharing.
I’m a mom of 2 girls and i did a solo trip to Epcot 2yrs ago and it was worth it! It did feel strange not having to stroll around a stroller and having to hold everything lol…but solo Disney trips are a must, for us busy moms! ❤
I want to thank you for giving me the motivation to do a solo trip for myself. While watching this vlog I went and booked everything for myself in May. Thank you souch for the idea of me time
You deserve way more than 20000 I recommend you to a lot of people! I have a ? About gideons how do you get cookies or get in everytime what’s the trick ?
I have a toddler and an infant and I did one trip (not Disney) and it was great. No stress during the trip, amazing, but I had to do a lot of house work when I got back, haha.
I hear you! I can totally plan a trip for my family but I’d feel bad spending so much money just for me. It’s hard but I want to do it so badly!
I’m going soon I live on west coast so l will have 3 days plus 2 travel days. Ex husband will have our kids
I agree with you needing time to be yourself. It is easy to get lost in being a wife and a mother. My girls are older now but I do still like to have a me day at a spa as my time. 🎉
Doing solo to DL in a coupe of weeks. I've booked and canceled a half a dozen times before.
So u so solo trips for ur self or am I missing something?? Is it for content on ur channel like do u do reviews or what???
I would love a solo trip down there and we do t have kids! That was a well deserved trip for you! 💜💚💛📿🤗
You are brave for doing a Disney solo trip! I would love to do one but have not had the courage . 💜💚
Ooo. If I could do anything for the solo trip.....I would definitely stay at the Grand Floridian. I would park hop between Epcot and Magic Kingdom but I've GOT to ride Flight of Passage so I'd make sure I'd make it to Animal Kingdom, too. And then I would do the dessert after party for the Fireworks. If I had time at the resort I'd do the spa and pool. That would be the ideal solo trip. Like 2 days. 😊
🤴👸🪅⚜️📿
That sounds like an absolute dream!! I hope it all gets to happen one day!
Love this. Keep doing things to rediscover yourself 💜💚💛📿
My kids are grown (well almost, my littlest princess is going to be 18 this year!!), and while I have an amazing WDW trip planned in December with my eldest (son 29) and youngest (daughter 18), I think a solo trip is in store for me at some point!! I’d LOVE to be able to go and not have to worry about whether everyone is having fun and doing what THEY want!! Thanks for the inspiration!! 💜🥳🎉💚
You should totally do it one day!
Dean is a rockstar husband and spoke the truth! You deserve this !
My kids are 15 years apart and my oldest is legally an adult and our trip together was as close as I could get to a solo trip. It was nice not having to chase a little one around but I missed my little guy too. French Quarter is my favorite resort and it feels like home to me so if I did a solo trip that would hands down be where I would stay. Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler 💜💚💛
Oh my gosh I can imagine that would be a totally different trip. Getting that one on one time with your kids is so special.
I went on my first solo Disney trip that same week. I was there Sunday thru Thursday and it was magical. I had so much fun doing whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. That Wednesday I did all four parks in one day and went and did my favorite things at each park. It's amazing how much you can get done by yourself. I am already planning and saving for my next adventure
Oh that's awesome and what a small world! It's such a different experience.
Love this video! Makes me want to take my own solo trip!! 📿
⚜️💜🎉 loved this video! So real and inspiring. Just taking a moment for yourself and reminding others to do the same. LOVE!!
Thank you so much!! We moms have to cheer each other one!
Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see a link or discount to the MCO transportation company you used. Can you please list it below? Thanks😊💐
Oh no that didn't save! Thanks for catching that for me.

A dream trip would include a stay at a Copper Creek cabin or Riviera. Maybe Grand Floridian. A dinner at Monsieur Paul or Victoria and Albert's. Plus unlimited walk on rides on Guardians.
That would be so fun!!
So much fun!! My dream trip would be at the Grand Floridian too! 🎆🎉💚💜
It's just such a gorgeous resort it's hard not to pick that one.
I won’t know what to do with myself if I went to Disney solo.
I'd stay at Beach Club and play in that pool all day!
Love, Love, Love this vlog! I felt all the feels watching it 🥰💜💚⚜️
Thank you for watching!! 😊
I need some of those cookies in my life 💜💚🦹
💜👩🎤💚🌴 Happy Mardi Gras!
I love that you still took a sound machine still!!! ❤😂
Oh girl I can't sleep without one now haha
This is so inspirational
You really gave us a gorgeous view of the park!💗
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was awesome 🧕🪻🌂
Oh I loved this vlog (love them all though 😂) tearing up watching, I know how hard it is and all the different feels excitement and happiness and that unfair mum guilt…you sure do loose yourself as a
Mum but I’m loving watching you find yourself again and totally inspired by it, to start doing something for me again💜 what an exciting journey to come , can’t wait to see your day 2 🎉🪅🥳
💚💜 loved this Solo mom day! My first solo mom trip to Disney was last year in April. I stayed 2 nights (my sweet spot for nights away from kids) and I loved every minute of it. Of course I had a few moments where I was in the parks and I saw a toddler boy that looked like my toddler boy and it made me miss him or I found myself saying “oh Penny (my daughter) would love this!” But ultimately i had a blast and I will absolutely do a solo mom trip again! It was so nice to do whatever I wanted to do, when I wanted to do it, eat whatever I wanted, ride whatever I wanted, etc. I definitely plan on making it an annual thing moving forward!
Treat Yo Self!
Not exactly the same, but my husband has to go to a beach town in FL for work every year for 2-3 days. I generally go with him and while we travel and have the evenings together, I usually have 2 full days at the beach by myself. Eat when and what I want, lounge, swim, read a book. It's amazing. The first time I went my kids at the time were 4 years old and 18 months. I was nervous too, especially since the little one was still nursing, but so glad I went! Then 2 years later we had a 4 month old who had to crash the party with us 😆 Definitely look forward to it every year!
Love this trip!!! You deserved it!! Hopefully I’ll get one someday too!! Thank you for being amazing and real!! 💜💛💚

💜💚 My dream stay at Disney would be a tough choice of the cabins at Copper Creek, the bungalows at Polynesian or the Cinderella suite inside the castle.
You go mama! 💚💜
Keys to the kingdom tour is 1000 percent worth it!!! My husband and I did it last summer and absolutely loved every minute of it.
💜💚💛⚜️
I'm glad you had a good first solo mom day! Had me in the feels too! It probably seemed so odd and like you were out of place like on the bus and people mover. Like I feel like I should be doing more than literally just sitting here🤣♥️
I’m so happy for you. You deserve some solo mom time. You look like you are literally going to jump out of your skin with excitement. Enjoy it all 🤩
A solo trip to WDW (or Disneyland) is 100% liberating .. .. It's almost like being in the Park for the first time .. ..
A revelation moment: Being in EPCOT WORLD CELEBRATION Park, near Uncle Walt, and finally realizing what he's been trying to accomplish after all these years .. .. 💜💚📿
