Best things to do at the resorts?

[leahcar]

My daughter (11) and I are heading over bright and early Monday morning (we're just a two hour drive away). We're staying Monday night and Tuesday night. I know it's the craziest time of the year. I thought we'd see Monday touring the resorts. What do you suggest? I'm thinking of taking her to the campfire that night unless there are other suggestions.

We're going to the MK Tuesday and heading back home Wednesday.

Lots to do at AK as far as animal watching, storytime, etc. Walkway from Wilderness Lodge to fort wilderness is nice. Boat from Downtown to FQ is a nice ride.

This time of the year, the resorts are all decorated. You can have a blast and see things you wouldn't otherwise see.

I'd stick to the MK area and hit the GF (check out the Gingerbread House in the Lobby). I would also take a slow boat over to WL to see the decorations and Christmas Tree there (gigantic!).

Having said that, AK is also decked out for the holidays and has all (and more) that the PP indicated.

We make it a habit on every trip to tour a hotel we haven't toured before. It's so easy to get tunnel vision at WDW that it forces us to stop and enjoy the detail, environment, and ambience that each resort uniquely offers.

Enjoy your tour!!!

While you're touring the resorts rent bikes at WL, you can ride over to FW.

There is a movie at the BC beach that's fun too.
