What's your favourite place to relax, and take in the magic?

[tinkerbell_S]

I've been going to Disney since I was little - we've made so many trips there. It's nice now that everything doesn't feel so rushed, there's so much more time to sit back, relax and enjoy just being at Disney - just taking it all in. I have a love for the place I cannot explain, and usually when I get there, I'm so happy and releived that I need to just sit back and take it all in.

If Magic Kingdom is not too crowded - I love to sit right in the middle of things - on the bench surrounding the Walt & Mickey statue, staring up at the castle with corn dog nuggets from Casey's Corner in my hand - it's best at night - during EMH, when no one's around and the music's playing.

I also love to relax on the beach at the poly. There are hammocks - and you can pick back in the sun and enjoy the view. It's best with a cold drink in your hand as well! *sigh* I could go for it right now!

Please share your favourites!

The little red and white tables at the end of the side street. I like to sit and listen to the dance studio. My daughter and I have sat on the steps and just enoyed a quiet 30 mins eating lunch or indulging in a treat.

Hmmm:

Magic Kingdom: TTA... I can sit on the TTA and ride over and over...

EPCOT: Well, there are a few places... The benches by Mouse Gear, under the covering... or the benches just outside this area... I'll sit there with a frozen lemonade and just take in the sites, listen to the background music, and people watch...

DHS: Over by the boat that is a food stand, don't know why the name slips my mind right now.... I'll grab a pretzel or maybe some sort of cool refreshment and sit at the tables over in this area...

DAK: Don't really use an area in DAK to sit and relax... There is plenty of relaxing time... The whole park is relaxing to me...

Phew!So Many.

Well I've lots,but one I remember was in 2008 when we left Scotland in late afternoon and didn't arrive into WDW until around 8.00 pm.We didn't even unpack,just got onto a bus and headed for MK. We sat at Caseys,yes actually got seats,and had dogs and fries with coke just watching the castle,I looked at my watch and it was 11.30 pm. Trying to take it in that 14 hours ago we were still in Scotland.Yeh! That's one memory we will never forget.:sohappy:

TTA it is. The breeze/night air, a sunset, even in the rain, it's the best place to relax and be in the magic.

I used to like the tables in front of The Plaza, the ones next to the water. I'd get a root-beer float at the Ice cream Parlor. However, I've noticed a lot of people using this area to smoke (is this, or has this always been, a smoking area? I've noticed no signs stating).

Now I just find myself going to random spots trying to find a good view. I've started to take a liking towards an area near the Hall of Presidents.

I have to say sitting or laying on a bench on warm sunny day in the World Showcase. It doesn't matter what country, though I usually prefer doing this near the Japan Pavillion.

Another place is Living with the Land, When I'm Stressed out I get on the boat close my eyes and just relax.

I love the TTA at night. I could sit on that for hours. I also love to sit on top of the Train Station and watch all the people go by.

I completely forgot about the TTA - such a great spot to relax. Especially at night.

MK - Between Space Mountain and the old skylift..I think it's used for one of the smoking areas but I rarley see anyone in there..

Epcot - Innnoventions West. Hearing my favorite loop in area not common for traffic.

DHS - Backlot Express..Way to furthest end you can get a good view of the Indy Stunt show while eating lunch...

PORS, setting at the small tables on the deck outside of Boatwrights as the sun is coming up over the trees (6-7am) with a cup of hot chocolate and hearing the water wheel turn and the splash of the water.

 

[SamtheDisneyGuy]

My all-time favorite place to sit and relax is on the benches at the Boardwalk and just smell the bakery and food, watch the boats pass, and especially at night time when the Boardwalk comes to life. I absolutely love it.

My whole family loves the TTA. Its about the only time my wife and I can relax while our three year old is still relatively entertained.

Other spots include sitting in the upstairs dining room of the Columbia Harbour House right over the path between Fantasyland and Liberty Square and the round entry fountain at EPCOT where the crystal statues used to be...

Poly ... out on my balcony, feet up with a margarita in my hand

Poly beach, watching seven seas lagoon and MK in the distance during the day and sitting on the beach watching the fireworks at night

Epcot ... sitting anywhere around World Showcase, and people watch, with a margarita in my hand

MK ... over by the raft that goes to Tom Sawyer island

Typhoon Lagoon ... there's a small area close to Typhoon Tilly's, about 5 chairs, with a hot dog!! (ha ha fooled ya, bet you thought I'd say with a margarita in my hand!!)

Then again, as soon as I get on DME all tension leaves my body ... heck, I'm on vacation!!! :sohappy: :sohappy:
