    We also like to split up our park off days and on those days we tour other resorts, go to DTD, spend time on the balcony and pool.

    One time we took a ride over to Celebration and an Outlet Mall, but mostly we like to stay onsite and keep the sense of the "real" world at bay for a few days.

    Disney's Miniature Golf can be fun as well. In the summer we split up our day and go back to the resort during the heat of the day. That's a great time for some R&R.

    Like another poster, if we are not doing a park on arrival day, we take the monorail around the MK resorts and the EPCOT loop. Wonderful way to begin!!

    Have a great visit!!

    1. Sleep
    2. Resort hop
    3. Visit DTD/Boardwalk
    4. Adventurers Club

    AC normally would be #3, but since it's being discontinued, it fell to #4. Always visit it at least once each trip.

    I'm not much of a shopper or foodie, so I burn out at DTD and Boardwalk fairly quickly. I'm usually good for two or three hours, then I reach my limit!

    One of my favorite things to do while not in the parks is sit on my balcony at the WL and people watch It's really interesting the things you see!

    We like to explore the different resorts. It is so much fun to see how the other people have chosen to spend their trip, the gift shops are fun, the atmosphere is diff. in each resort, and the restaurants are the best in "the World." I am a big pool person so I like to go check out the pools and see how what they look like. I also use the landscaping to take family pictures with a tripod. We do Downtown Disney once, but only once cause our kids hate all that walking just to turn around and come back. Swimming is def. a great pass time. Miniature Golfing is fun! You can rent a pontoon boat and check out lake cresent or seven seas lagoon. This is always fun to do, if you aren't used to the luxury of owning your own boat. You will be suprised when you get there, how fast, time outside the parks, flies by. It is the busiest resort in the world and for good reason. If you are truly out of options, take turns enjoying the spa at Saratoga springs. Getting a massage or a pedicure will be the highlight of your trip!

    Since my family and I are DVC member, we usually stay at a DVC resort (home resort is OKW). We usually plan on one BBQ/pool day- we grab one of the picnic tables and set up for a BBQ lunch. Swimming, shuffle board, playing cards. After lunch, we usually go to community hall and play ping-pong or rent surrey bikes, regular bikes, or a boat and ride around for a while. Just hanging out at the resort is always fun and relaxing. We leave next week for OKW and I'm most looking forward to BBQing!

    We spend most of our time in the parks. We do spend time at Downtown Disney Marketplace and have visited some of the other resorts. We don't spend a lot of time using the pool at our resort.

    I like to ride on the monorail resort loop - get off at each stop and maybe eat something, shop and then go on to the next resort. We also enjoy hanging around the Epcot resorts and swimming in our pool.

    If we drive down or rented a car we head out to some of the flea markets, and to some restaurants.

    If we flew down we usually tour the inside of the other hotels, go to Downtown Disney, or walk around the hotels and take in the sites.
