Hi Everyone ,
I'm planning to visit USA in the end of December DEC19th , my trip will start in new york for 6 days and after that will go to NC for few days and Orlando for 4 or 5 days maybe. I'm really excited and in the same time am worried about being alone and feel lonely cuz am doing it solo .
-So for New York I wanted to ask about the NY Pass is it useful or it no??!
-What's the really funny and interesting things to do in NC ??
- For Orlando I'm confused about the parks tickets i should buy and the place to stay when I'm alone and the shuttles to the parks???
I'm really sorry for bothering you guys and i hope you will help me

Regards,

Essam,
Welcome to Travelblog! I've traveled alone in both New York and Orlando and never had a problem. You will meet people at hostels, attractions, and other spots.
The NYPass is useful if you will see enough of the attractions is covers to be worth the cost. Personally, I've never visited enough of them in a week to be worth it.
New York is so large and varied that no definitive list of things to do exists. It depends entirely on your interests. Many bloggers have written about the city, so their blogs will have plenty of suggestions. Here is my personal incomplete list: Statue of Liberty, Museum of Modern Art, Metropolitan Museum, Guggenheim Museum, Central Park, Soho, High Line Park, American Museum of Natural History, Empire State Building, and Rockefeller Center, You can also be in the audience for a TV taping, but this needs to be arranged in advance.
Orlando has two big theme park complexes: Disney and Universal. Disney requires a whole week so see completely and is quite expensive. Universal requires three days and is cheaper. The latter is the better option if you want to see something other than the theme parks. For both, I've always stayed at hotels with park shuttles to avoid the cost of a car rental. If you stay at a hotel owned by one of the theme parks, it will be more expensive but comes with perks like discounted admission and ways to skip the lines. I highly recommend this if your budget allows. Otherwise, go to the theme park websites and buy tickets in advance to avoid some of the lines.
The trip will be amazing. Please remember to blog it. Reply to this
