Great spots to take a nap? - The DIS Discussion Forums

Park&Syd · 08-09-2009, 07:55 PM

Any ideas on where a 3 year old (and maybe his Mommy

) could sneak in a good nap while in the parks? We plan to go back to the room, but I was just wondering in case we can't quite make it back in time. Where have you gotten a good little snooze?

In the rear of MK's Town Square Exhibition Hall there is a sit-down movie theater that shows continuous classic Disney cartoons.
And, the Tomorrowland Transit Authority reopens Aug. 25th.

In DAK, in-between meal rushes, Pizzafari dining rooms are very quiet.

In Epcot, you should be able to snooze away in an area right behind the "Coke Place". It is to your right if you are facing the fountain with Spaceship Earth behind you. A lot of people miss this quiet spot because there's basically nothing there except some benches in this corridor.

Another good spot in Epcot is near the Guest Services office. It's pretty quite there too.

Carousel of Progress, you can grab a quick 20 min nap!

It isn't technically in the park but closer than returning to a room. Take a long ride on the monorail. If you ride the whole loop it is a good 20 -30 minutes and you can even stay on for another loop if you want and kids tend to fall asleep with the motion. And mid day it isn't packed like morning or night so you may even have a car to your self.

Hall of Presidents!

There are some benches on the quiet hidden path from Toontown to tomorrowland and hardly anyone uses it...not sure about the train as it goes buy but it is a peaceful spot

I was thinking this too!!!

Park&Syd · 08-09-2009, 10:45 PM

Wow! What a great list of places! Thanks to everyone for these great ideas. I think I'll need them just as much as my son will!

wendy1974 · 08-09-2009, 10:47 PM

I agree with the Carousel of Progress, plus they get the added bonus of another number through the turnstile.
Hall of Presidents in MK is about a 25 min. show in a dark, cool theater.
TTA because the CMs would probably let you stay on since it's not a popular ride with long waits so you could ride around as long as you wanted.

Have people really been allowed to go around again? That would be great to not have to wake up a sleeper at the end of the ride.
