What is one or two of your favorite things to do while down at WDW?

Well tonight I am on a WDW mental trip... wish it was an actual trip because I would be right now riding that Monorail!

I was wondering what your favorite thing(s) to do during your WDW vacation besides visit the actual parks & their attractions....

I love riding the monorails and taking time out to tour a resort that I have never visited (still have a few to go ) I also enjoy looking at all the different wildlife and landscaping...

What is your favorite non-park thing(s) to do?

I have to agree with you debe, I want to be riding the Monorail right now.

I really love watching the little kids, and big kids, faces as they pull up to the MK for the first time.

Debe,
I like to sit and watch the people in the hotel lobby. Especially the kids who are so excited to be there.

Like Fortissimo & Teresa, I love to watch the kids!! The sheer joy in their faces is where the real magic of Disney lies!!
Other than that......Mouse Boats!!!
Did these for the first time last trip and had a blast!!!
They are a great way to take a break from the Parks!!

I have to admit, watching kids of all ages is something I love to do. You can almost always tell the ones who are visiting for their very first time!

I too, love riding the monorail. I also like going to the other resorts and looking around. I like to sit in the lobby of the WL and watch the faces of the people that enter for the first time. Everyone of them looks up first at the massive totem poles in the lobby. It's fun to watch their awed faces, cause I remember that's how I looked my first time there!

I would say the mouse boats,then monorail. You get such a great view of Epcot form it. I have spent alot of time at WDW yet so my choises might change.

Re: What is one or two of your favorite things to do while down at WDW?

Okay WILD, now as many times as I've been to WDW I have yet to ride a MOUSE BOAT? I'll bite? What's a mouse boat? I somehow missed that ride...hmmmm. Was that a joke WILD? Your posts are always funny - you have a great sense of humor, so I'm not quite sure.
And p.s. pay the taxes - we don't want you rooming with Butch! eeek.
Debe, I feel I am constantly on a mental trip at WDW. I think the monorail is my favorite and it is definitely a pre-requisite to entering park for my DH. He doesn't know that there is any other way to get to the park! ha ha It's fun just to see the folks on the monorail getting so excited as you near the Magic Kingdom - the ooo, ooohhh, ahhhs are fantastic.

Re: What is one or two of your favorite things to do while down at WDW?

On our last trip, my husband and I had our souvenirs that we bought in the parks sent back to our hotel. There was always a one day lag. So after we would get back from the park we would have all of our goodies waiting in our hotel room from the day before. We would sit on the bed and go through them and remember yesterday's activities. It was sooo nice.

I'd be at the Adventurer's Club right now enjoying a martini and the show! A close second would be floating in a inner tube in the creek at BB for a whole day.

The Mice boats that you are asking about are the cute little ones that you see through out the waterways with smiling people behind the wheel. (the little speed boats) Don't feel like you are the only one who hasn't experienced those little water craft... we haven't either!

Always something to look forward to doing!

Re: What is one or two of your favorite things to do while down at WDW?

My favorite non-park activites....
first, I would say renting a bike (or even a Surrey!) and tooling around my resort. My favorite "bike ride" has been from WL to FW. Since I do not own a bike (no where to ride where I currently live), it takes me back to when I was a child. I would ride my bike ALL DAY LONG.
Second choice: finding a hammock or a quiet, overlooked spot on the resort's grounds. I just like to lay back and think of all the wonderful magic occuring around me. The Poly and CS both have some excellent beach hammocks for doing exactly this!
Wow, I really want to go to WDW now... 195 or so days.....

Re: What is one or two of your favorite things to do while down at WDW?

Isn't it nice to be around like-minded people?

When not at a particular attraction, we just enjoy walking around and watching other people (some of whom are also just walking aound watching people!).

One of the greatest things about Disney is that I have never seen anyone act in a disagreeable manner. Oh sure, I have seen people do things that I personally consider rude, but in general, people tend to be well-behaved. I guess most pain-in-the-butt people aren't going to pony up the money to come to WDW when they can act like jerks at home for free.

My favorite thing is just soaking up that magical feeling. I wish I could bottle it and bring it home for days when I'm feeling blue.

I love riding the monrail, of course! I also enjoy watching the floating electric pagent from the shore of the GF and swimming in the pool late at night.

Also, I love riding thru the gates for the first time on a trip. We always drive thru the main gates when we enter WDW for the first time each trip. There is something about seeing the Mickey Eared signs leading up to the gates, and then seeing the gates and knowing you are finally at WDW!
