If you've
got a day or so to spare, it's nice to look around the different
WDW resorts. Here is one possible route you can take, & things
to do when you're at each resort.
Starting at
the Polynesian resort (get there by bus from TTC, or walk from
TTC) - have a character breakfast at O'hana, ot try tonga toast
from the Kona Cafe.Check out the beach & have a quick rest
in a hammock.
Walk to the
Grand Floridian, calling in at the wedding pavilion on your way.
At the Grand
Floridian, hire a water mouse & go for a spin on Seven Seas
Lagoon, getting a great view of the Magic Kingdom. If it's the
right time of day, have afternoon tea in the garden view lounge
or just sit in the lobby & listen to the piano player.
Jump on the
monorail & get off at the Contemporary resort. Check out the
shops, grab a snack or have a walk on the beach.
Get on the
boat to Fort Wilderness. Visit the petting farm, take a horseback
or pony ride.
Either walk
or take a bus to Wilderness Lodge. Have lunch or dinner at Whispering
Canyon Cafe; relax in a rocking chair whilst admiring the lobby;
take a tour of the lodge; ask for the hidden Mickey list &
go hunting; watch out for the geyser!
Take the boat
back to MK. From there get the bus to Dixie Landings. Get something
to eat or drink, have a stroll around the resort, hire a boat,
or just take a rest.
Walk along
the river or catch the boat to Port Orleans for a leisurely look
around.
Catch the boat
to Downtown Disney. Get the bus to the Caribbean Beach Resort.
Have a walk around the resort, taking in the landscaping &
theming. Have a rest on one of the beaches with a nice cool drink!
Take a bus
back to Downtown Disney & then a bus to the Yacht & Beach
or get the bus to Epcot & walk to the Yacht & Beach. Have
a burger or an ice cream sundae at Beaches & Cream. If it's
around 9pm, watch IllumiNations from outside Epcot.
Take a stroll
around to the Boardwalk. Visit the shops along the water front,
call in at one of the pubs, or try out the midway games. Fantasia
Gardens is only a short walk away if you fancy a game of miniature
golf.
From here you
can get a bus back to Downtown Disney, & either go on to visit
Coronado Springs & the All Stars, or finish your tour.
You could plan
to buy a souvenir, a snack or a drink at each resort. Or try out
the recreation options at each resort. Try to collect pressed
pennies from each resort. There are lots of things to do &
see at each resort.
"I'd
definitely suggest spending some time boating at DXL. Get a canopy
boat at DXL, and just explore the waterways. You can make it all
the way down to the Disney Institute from there, and it's very
relaxing. It's fun watching all the resorts go by. Most of all,
have fun!!" JM
