Activities before marathon?

[DisneyMarathon]

Have 2 free days before the marathon. Don't plan to go to the theme parks. In addition to downtown Disney and Boardwalk, what would you suggest for some fun and low cost activities at Disney World?

Thanks!

I always find cruising the resorts as a cheap and easy way to spend some time. I would take bus to MK(not go inside) and than take Monorail around to all the resorts. Get off at Poly and cruise along the beach and than walk over to GF. Enjoy checking out there and than take Monorail to Contemporary. You can than take boat over to WL and check it out there. When done can head back to Contemp and ride Monrail to EPCOT. From there can take bus back to resort.

Mini Golf is always a fun thing to do as well. If water person, can always check out different pools at each resort.

Well remember Friday night is the groups meet at POP!

If you have a car check out the Disney outlet? That's what we are doing this year.

We plan on being in the parks very little Friday and Saturday. Friday morning we are doing the 5K at AK most likely followed by showers and shopping at DTD. Dinner at Chef Mickeys.

Saturday we are cheering. Probably grab an early lunch then head over to the Disney outlet and maybe some off resort shopping? Then an early dinner and movie watching as we settle down before the race.

I second Robert's idea of checking out of the other resorts. That's what we have done the past 2 years. I fear going into the parks, worrying that I'll be taken out by something/someone.

OH!!! Don't forget the speakers at the EXPO. We go at opening for shopping but there is a chance we'll finally take the time to go back for speakers this year

Thank you for all the wonderful suggestions! I will not have a car so my activities will be limited to within Disney grounds.
