    Default Three "free" moms ...what to do?

    My two best friends and I are leaving Friday for a girls only trip. No husbands, no kids, no housework... you get the picture. Two of us were recently in WDW in October so we do not have any "must sees", we are just getting away. Does anybody have any suggestions to make this weekend special? Something we don't normally get to do with kids.
    Thanks for your help

    If it were me, I would take it easy during the day and save my energy for the nightlife at BWI and DTD. "If I could dream...."

    I have always wanted to have a spa day (or half day), but never have because I would feel guilty about not spending that time with my family.

    I'm sure whatever you decide it will be special because you are with your friends. Hope you have a great trip!!

    How about a tour such as Keys to the Kingdom?

    Tea at the Grand Floridian?

    A spa treatment? You might try the Mandara Spa.

    I would definitely make the most of World Showcase. Try shopping, snacking, and sipping your way around the World. That's the one WDW attraction I missed the most when my kids were little and didn't want to spend half a day there.

    Also, try some of the resort lounges or restaurants that are more adult in nature. The Poly's Tambu Lounge or Mizner's or Narcoossee's at the GF are great. You can stop in to Narcoossee's just for a drink. At California Grill, sometimes there is seating at the bar- what a view.

    Shopping at resorts can be fun, too. I love the bath shop, Basin, at the GF. Maybe try some spa treatments? have a great time!

    Mrs Rusty suggests:

    1) Grand Floridian Afternoon Tea
    2) Spa treatment at SSR
    3) Evening drinks at POFQ for jazz/ragtime
    4) Evening drinks at GF for orchestra on mezzanine
    5) Rent a pontoon boat and go cruising'

    We just did this last September. Some of our highlights were

    Massages at the spa
    Dinner at Flying Fish followed by walking around the Boardwalk and going to Jelly Rolls
    The Adventurer's Club
    Picking up Lapu Lapu's at the Polynesian bar and then strolling down to the beach to watch the Electrical Water Pageant.
    Relaxing at the resort whenever we wanted to
    & the #1 thing was :

    Going on the rides we wanted whenever we wanted to
    I'll meet you at the Rainbow Bridge.

    Thanks again.

    When I went with adults, I did the following (which I would never do with my children )

    1) limoncello shot in Italy
    2) sushi in Japan
    3) a couple of meals in Moracco
    4) looking at the standby line and fast pass return and said "nah! Not worth it!"
    5) Slept past 7:00
    5 1/2) Sat on the lanai sipping coffee for more than a minute and a half after we got up!
    6) stopped for cocktails at the Rose and Crown Pub
    7) Ironically, we also called it a night and were back at SSR and ready for bed pretty early each night - which I am sure had "nothing" to do with #1 and #6
    8) Spa morning at SSR spa

    Have a great time!
    Have a Magical Day!
