Quieter Spots in the Parks?

[SteamboatJoe]

I know there is a WDW with Kids board but it seems relatively inactive so I am asking here instead.

I am an experienced WDW visitor but will be taking a kid (4 yo daughter) for the first time right after Thanksgiving this year.

She is in the nap transition period. I don't love the idea of losing significant park time traveling back to and from the resort (AoA) to rest up.

Does anyone have any tips regarding good, relatively quiet areas in the parks to hang out in should she doze off in the stroller? I know the baby care centers are a thing but 4 seems a little old to use them.

Back in the day I would take my daughter on the train when she seemed tired. Just stayed on as long as I needed to let her doze.

Two places come to mind... in MK there's a quiet area behind Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe and in Epcot the UK pavilion toward the back.

Interesting. We did this at Dollywood last year.I thought it would be too loud but I guess when they're tired, they're tired.

Ah yes, I recall both areas. Thanks for reminding me!

The gentle movement trumps any noise.

I will agree with the back of the UK pavilion…Morocco also in the back too…MK, you can’t go wrong with Tom Sawyer Island and the first side street off Main Street…it’s usually quiet back there also.

Epcot has lots of quiet spots in the country pavilions. I’m partial to Morocco.
DHS I’m struggling with a bit, but maybe in the Star Wars Launch Bay entrance. There’s some posters up on the left as you first head in. It seems pretty quiet there.
AK I’d walk the trails. Or head over to Dino land and see if you can find a shady spot over there.
MK: we had successful naps on carousel of progress, people mover, hall of presidents, the steam boat, and walking around Tom sawyers island.

I’ve heard the Galactic Starcruiser is pretty quiet lately

Last time we were at DHS Baby Care it was very quiet sitting on the rocking chairs in the ice cold AC.
