Where to fall asleep in the parks

[CAS]

Funny question I just pondered...

If you could take a nap anywhere in the parks where would that be? It can't be at a resort, golf course, DTD, and not inside the MK camera shop where they practically beg you to pass out in the overly air conditioned theater. You have to be outdoors in a park and you have to attain full unconsciousness.

The reason I ask is because first and foremost I enjoy sleep. Waking up can be a blissful moment that enlightens your spirit for the duration of your day, or it can be an unwelcomed jolt filled with gut churning anxiety. Since WDW is so much of a home to me, I want to feel comfortable enough to prop myself against a rock bench across from Adventureland's Dole Whip and cop a full blown snooze...for the mere heaven of climbing out of my coma to realize I'm smack dab in the middle of the happiest place on earth.

So who's with me? Where will you zonk?

I've seen many people (with little ones) sleeping under the overhang at Teppan Edo restaurant at Japan in EPCOT.
I've tried it on my feet several times while standing in line for something. I would not recommend this. It's embarrassing when you hit the ground.

I have fell asleep on the castle wall in the MK. But honestly next time I think I would find a rocking chair on TSI .

I hate to admit it, but I always fall asleep in the Hall of Presidents! I know shame on me!! My DH always falls asleep on the Carousel of Progress. I think it just has to do with it being so hot in September and then going into air conditioning for a little while. We leave in 23 days and I'm sure it will happen to the both of us.

I've inadvertently fallen asleep during Hall of Presidents (I think just because it's so cool and comfortable after being outside walking around in the heat of summer). And the TTA can make for a good resting spot. I could see taking a quick 5 minute nap there.

Also, I've napped sitting on a bench in the animal kingdom.

Ellen's Ride in epcot, Hall of Presidents MK

The seating right outside of Fountainview in Epcot is great. It's shaded most of the time and you can't help but relax listening to the BGM for the Innoventions area. The 2nd floor of Columbia Harbour House would be a good place as well. Once on a solo trip, I may not have fallen asleep, but I did sit upstairs to read some in a book I had just gotten at the park. The Backlot Express at DHS always has so many open areas to sit in, I'm sure that's a great place to just sit and snooze for a bit if you wanted. And at AK, as long as it's not during the lunch rush, the seating area down by the lake close to Flame Tree BBQ should be perfect.

I almost fell asleep inside the train station in MK--for just a few minutes, in got quiet and peaceful and I almost dozed off until a group of happy kids came in.

My father was always a fan of snoozing his way through the American Adventure...until he snored and my mom would hit him.

Our last trip in June, my wife was 5 months pregnant, and our son, who is 3, still naps in his stroller in the afternoon. We were staying off-site, so leaving to take a nap was out of the question. We tried to go to the baby care center in MK to let Sam sleep, but we couldn't take the stroller in there, and it was pretty loud in the common area. So we went into the First Aid center...my wife ended up sleeping for an hour and a half in the waiting area, and when they woke up, our son was happy to realize he was still in Disney World. I, of course, used that time to gobble up FPs for the rest of the afternoon.

We have 5 children, and getting back to the resort to nap never happens for us, so we have specific places where we like to nap. MK- Hall of Presidents, Epcot- Ellen's Energy Adventure, HS-Sounds Dangerous, AK- Finding Nemo. We have also been known to kick it on the beach club's beach and rest while the kids play in the sand. It really makes our day more satisfying and more valuable if we take some kind of rest somewhere. Hardly ever becomes our resort, esp if we are camping bc a tent in the mid-afternoon is like a sauna.

You have to be outdoors in a park and you have to attain full unconsciousness.

Well, that outdoors things eliminates my prime sleeping spot of the Hall of Presidents...not sure I have ever actually reached full unconsciousness outside at WDW...thou I may have snoozed a little on the train on a warm summer day.

Universe of Energy of course! Love Ellen, but I hate that attraction! My kids always make me go on it and I always take a nap!

I would pick right outside of the BTMR exit where the rocking chairs are looking across the river at HM.. I would be able to fall asleep from hearing the howling at the HM go on and on and on..

[Darbylew]

Why would anyone want to fall asleep in the
parks. I don't want to miss a second of my time in the parks. Sorry but I would never nap.

[kcrc]

I would say:

MK - Carousel of Progress, Hall of Presidents, Rocking chair on Tom Sawyer Island

Epcot - Circle of Life, American Adventure, Captain EO

Hollywood Studios - Sounds Dangerous

Animal Kingdom - Finding Nemo

Took a nice long nap during the Little Mermaid puppet show in DHS. Its pitch black, nice music, air conditioning, soft seats...
