    Default What Do You Do After Parks Close?

    DH & I are used to going to PI to enjoy the CW or AC in the evenings for a few drinks & some laughs. We will be back in late September this year & don’t know what we will do with the after hours time. We don't really care for really loud noise places. Any suggestions, we will not have a car.

    Head over to Boardwalk - maybe give Jellyrolls a try. Book a dinnner show such as Hoop De Doo. Go for a swim. Hang out at your resort. Shop at Downtown Disney perhaps taking time out for an ice cream.

    head over for some miniature golfing, or head to your resort pool, and depending on the resort, this could include a stop at the poolside bar, and a stop at the jacuzzi.... several resorts also have live entertainment in their lounge area, if you want to stay inside

    We make late dinner reservations at resort restaurants; head to the Boardwalk; shop at DTD or different resort shops; enjoy drinks at resort lounges/bars; grab dessert to eat back in the room; hop to another park for late evening EMHs.

    Default Jellyrolls

    Jellyrolls is a great idea! Thanks. I am guessing that since the parks would be closed, we would take bus to Boardwalk from what ever park we were in, then on the flip side, take bus to DTD then to our resort. Am I right?

    DW and I did Jellyroll's back in 1997 -- guy there did a great singing impression of Kermit the Frog doing "Rainbow Connection" Still remember that -- it was a fun night.

    Head on over to Ye Ha Bob Jackson's show over at POR. I like him much better than the performers at Jelly Rolls.

    Sleep!

    Seriously, I need a hot bath or a hot tub, and then I need sleep.

    We start early. I'm tired by the end of the day.

    Have to agree with the sleeeeep crowd. If I have any energy leftover, I usually get something to drink and head for a chair by the pool.

    There is something about all those screaming kids not being my responsibility that totally relaxes me

    Most of the time when we visit WDW there is at least one park open late with EMH, etc. and we always take advantage of late night park hours (we love the parks after dark) so we are often in the parks til 11pm or later. On the rare times when we aren't at a park late, we usually have a late dinner, after park closing, and then maybe a night-time swim at the resort before bedtime. Other options we have done occasionally are La Nouba (Cirque du Soleil) or a late movie at the AMC theatres at DTD.

    We head over Downtown Disney -- do some shopping-- grab a bite to eat. Sometimes we go catch a movie-- maybe some minigolf. This year we want to try a campfire movie-- we got rained out 2 years ago.

    benyays = Biegnets; (French for fried dough); a pastry made from deep-fried dough and sprinkled with confectioner's sugar, is a kind of French doughnut. Made popular in New Orleans at Cafe Du Monde
