1. Going to DTD, shopping and enjoying a relaxing lunch at Fultons having stone crabs.

2. DH loves to relax in the lobby at GF and listen to the piano player.

3. Exploring the different resorts and if there is a good football game on, staying at their pool bar, having a drink and watching the game, just relaxing. We are empty nesters so we have that advantage of just hanging out.

4. Mini-golf.

5. Spa time - if I could only do it every trip!

2. Ice Cream at Beaches and Cream with a surrey bike ride at the Boardwalk
3. Mini Golf - The winter course is our favorite

In the evening sitting on the outside patio of the HOB listening to the music with a drink in hand. (we are empty nesters)

My wife loves the afternoon teas at GF

I like the 6:30 AM hot tub followed by a morning walk around the epcot resorts seeing the sunrise.

3 more days we will be at the BC!

-laying by the BWV quiet pool sipping a margarita (surprise delivery by my personal waiter, DH - no tip required)
or just napping by my favorite pool in all of WDW: the BWI pool it's the only WDW pool i've found that is actually quiet, and the surroundings are akin to a maxfield parrish painting
- walking from the BWV to play mini-golf (love both the walk and the mini-golf)
- the walk to/fro EPCOT or DHS. we don't even enter the parks sometimes, the walk is just so serene and beautiful
- browsing AKL shops, sitting in the lobby, looking out over the savannah
- taking the monorail, eating at poly (kona), walking the beach, basking in the unique poly scent and decor
- sipping wine, watching Illuminations from our BWV balcony
- dining outside at big river grille, watching the passersby, soaking in the atmosphere
- just hanging around the BW in general
- drive a watermouse around 7 seas lagoon (FANTASTIC!)
- walking around the GF, sitting in the lobby and listening to the piano player(when it is quieter)


things i want to do:
- jog the BW in early AM
- splitsville
- go back to raglan road (LOVED the music and dancers!)

 

[mel&me]

1) Dinning or just checking out other resorts
2) Hanging by pool
3) go to OLD TOWN
4) Rent a Harley and go for a evening ride.

Too much to list tons of things to do

3. A cold beverage walking around world showcase.
