Having a glass of wine on the Akl balcony after a long day in the parks and the kids are asleep is very relaxing. Counter service breakfast at most any resort. Using my refillable mug:). World of Disney last thing before we leave. Resort hopping during the holidays to see decorations.

I love breakfast at the resorts to don't know why food is not the best but there is something about it.

We have a tradition of one night heading down to the Boardwalk for a couple of hours. We visit the Bakery, watch some of the entertainers, and Garrett likes to play on the little beach area for a few minutes. Then we'll head over the Winter/Summerland mini golf and play both sides. It's a nice break from the parks for a few hours. Just slow down and truly kind of relax.

I find it enjoyable at times simply to "ride the rails", so to speak and hop on the monorail....both loops for just a lazy, casual ride around the World. I also enjoyed just riding the boat from the Poly to MK to GF and back again (it was especially nice when the MK fireworks show was going on). People-watching, which can be done all over the world whether in a park or otherwise, is always an interesting source of amusement.

Lunch at the Earl of Sandwich
Sitting at the Polynesian to watch the Fireworks & the Electric Water Pageant!

Do you usually stay at the Polynesian? The reason I ask is I made dinning reservations at 6:45 PM there one night so that we can watch the Pageant and the Fireworks from the beach. It's for a non-park day and we are staying at PORS. The Pageant is at 9pm and fireworks are at 10 PM and the MK also closes at 10PM. I'm wondering what the monorail and buses back to PORS will be like since we need to get up really early the next morning?

I've never stayed at the Poly- We went during a slow January week and just went down to the beach area one night. It was a great time!

Great thread!

  • Walking the nature trail behind WL-seeing the mini deer and armadillos
  • Walking the Boardwalk at night...lights, music, smells etc
  • Riding the Boat from Beach Club to HS (One boat drivers had trained a duck to sit on his shoulder!)
  • Riding the Boats around MK resorts
  • Swimming in the Beach Club pool
  • Shopping in the resort stores
  • Ping-pong on the path at the Beach Club
  • Listening to the music loops anywhere
  • Monorail rides
  • Riding back to the resort on a bus from DTD and enjoying the music in the dark
  • Surprisingly, waiting at any bus stop...I don't know why I enjoy it
  • Sitting in any resort lobby
Cant wait, we'll be there in 13days:D

-Grab an ice cream at Ghirardelli's on a warm, March evening (knowing that it is probably cold and snowy back home) and people watch while enjoying said ice cream
-Do some serious shopping/window shopping in Downtown Disney
-Spend the day relaxing at Typhoon Lagoon, enjoying the lazy river, wave pool, and Crush 'N' Gusher (one of my favourite WDW attractions)
-Relax poolside by the 50's bowling pin pool at Pop Century during a hot day

I really love visiting other resorts - eating, shopping, exploring!

I really love riding the monorail too - so combining those 2 things are probably my fav!

We love the Chip and Dale S'more's outdoor movie at Ft. Wilderness Campgrounds. We just take the boat from WL over there and back. It's a great little getaway and a nice way to end the day.
