We love to visit the various resorts during the Christmas holidays to see all of the great decorations, trees, and food that each resort offers, many of which are absolutely breathtaking.

Resort tour hopping while relaxing with drinks at the bars and lounges!

On our last trip, for the first time, we spent a whole morning by the pool with our son at Coronado Springs. When we travelled as a couple, we used to visit the parks from opening to closing, every day, so I worried taking a day off would be boring, but it definitely wasn't! We all enjoyed going down the slide (my son wouldn't leave, he loved that slide so much!) and relaxing by the pool!

I also like relaxing in the hotel room.

Resort hopping. Especially the monorail loop resorts. A great way to spend the day is getting nachos and drinks at the Poly and just relaxing and maybe hopping on the monorail. Another great thing that doesn't get much attention is Winter Summerland miniature golf. I was surprised how much I enjoyed myself, and I think the resorts give you coupons for this if you're staying onsite. Fantasia Gardens is neat, but would be pretty frustrating for kids and amateurs. It plays more like a real golf course.

Another vote for resort hoping. Love taking the monorail from Epcot to the mk loop and checking out those resorts, riding the boat around seven seas lagoon, Disney springs, checking out stuff I've never done.

I'd be fine staying at the resort for a week and not even visiting a single park. So, yeah, staying by the pool or even laying in bed watching TV and eating Disney-themed snacks?

From all the resorts I've visited, Coronado no doubt has one of the best pools. The only other contender may be the Wilderness Lodge. The Coronado is nice and secluded with some really neat aesthetics.

Resort hopping to check out the different restaurants, and look for hidden Mickey's. Or just taking a day to relax at our pool. My daughter loves all the Disney poolside parties & activities. Roasting marshmallows at night has been fun too, with the movie under the stars.

Riding the monorail and going to World Of Disney.

Blink, blink. Breathe, breathe. Day in, day out.
I usually enjoy finding a quiet area in Downtown Disney/Disney Springs to sit and drink a soda and soak in all of the Disney music playing around me.

Visiting the BoardWalk Resort's also fun for me, especially the Bakery.

- Riding the monorail - either MK or Epcot line - just for the heck of it.
- Exploring my resort.
- Playing cards or another game with family - particularly in the lobby of WL.
- Ride one of the launches from my resort to where-ever it goes (usually MK and one other resort) and back again.
- Catch the Electrical Water Pageant.

While you can fit 2 adults into one boat, they are pretty under-powered. I'm a hefty guy, and I have to lean forward to get the boat to plane out, which really makes it skip across the water. Depending on your (and your significant other's) size, you might want to go ahead and get 2 boats.
