Extra Special Diversion???

[BigKids]

Hello all:

I'm looking for suggestions for a 1 day diversion (mid trip & relaxing) from the parks for my lovely/beautiful DW and I. We will be in WDW for 9 days at Saratoga Springs Resort the last week of August/1st week of September (just the 2 of us). We do the 'massage/facial thing' fairly regulary at home, so a spa day is not really interesting to us. What should we consider for a mid vacation diversion? I'm looking for something other than spending the day at the pool drinking margaritas (although there is nothing wrong with that! ). Additionally, I'm not really concerned about the cost (within reason) as long as it is a suprise.

Paraglide?
Personal watercraft?
Fishing expedition?
Cooking class?
Personal dinner on the GF yacht (although I doubt we could get ressies)?

Help!!

I don't know what type of thing you're into but I like the idea of renting a watercraft, that sounds fun. Also, if you like those sorts of things, they have horseback riding at Fort Wilderness Campground. Another idea might be to go to a movie at Downtown Disney or go to Disney Quest. Good luck!

I would vote for renting a pontoon boat at the GF and then having tea afterward.

You could plan to catch Cirque du Soleil in the evening too.

Daytime: Parasailing at the Contemporary or go see the Titanic exhibit. There is a really fun Mystery Sleuth dinner show near the Titanic exhibit - food is iffy, but the show is really fun. However, the best thing to do at night is...

Night: Blue Man Group or Blue Man Group or Blue Man Group. Cirque du Soleil is okay, but a real snoozer when compared to Blue Man Group.

Thanks! Where is the Blue Man Group? I'm also considering the Segway tour at the World Showcase.

Ah, I'm an idiot...it's at Universal.

FYI--Dinner on the Grand One is going to be very pricey. You'll need two hours, and with dinner, the yacht and crew, and tips you're looking at over $1000--that's if you don't want a private butler to serve you and doesn't include any alcohol.

How about dinner at Blue Zoo and then La Nouba?

If you'll have a car (or are willing to rent one) and want something different, stop at Publix and get a picnic lunch, and head to Wekiwa Park which is about a 45 minute drive. It's got beautiful clear springs swimming.

Picnic. Interesting idea.
