Favorite hang-out spot?

[rutgers1]

Any resort, any park, any spot on Disney property. Where is your spot where you take a step back, sit down (or walk around), check out the scenery, and simply soak up the atmosphere?

For me, it is the loop around the lake at the Boardwalk. I jog around there. I must spend 90% of the time thinking to myself, "I love this place."

Same, minus the jog.
Coffee and a spot out on the railing in front of the bw bakery.

Anywhere at Kidani Village watching the animals.

I also love just sitting and watching people at DTD.

Breakfast on my balcony at OKW.

I love the rocking chairs at SSR looking across to DTD. In the early morning, with coffee, there is nothing like it.

There's an observation point at the WL. It's above the pool area and not at all busy. I love walking around that resort at night, going up there and just looking at it all.

There are a few spots in Epcot that I love to sit at and relax and people watch.
One is over by the convention center thingy and the other is under the trees by the restrooms in future world. I love to sit and let my feet hang.

I love sitting in the rocking chairs in front of the fireplace in the Carolwood Pacific Room at the VWL.

Such a beautiful room/resort and so peaceful. Even though it is on the main floor, not far from the VWL entrance, and not a "secret" location, it is still almost always quiet and peaceful (and often empty).

Wow! This is hard to pick. I just love hanging out just about anywhere at OKW....so relaxing! But a good one is The Terrace restaurant when they have their dessert buffets for Wishes! The best!!

Coffee or cocktails out on my OKW balcony, watching the golfers hit them into the waterway, now that's entertainment! A close 2nd, sitting by the OKW pool, sipping a pina colada from the Guirgling suitcase! Of course at MK, when I need a break from the noise, the heat and the mayem, I do the Carousel of Progress, it's simply relaxing!

I love the palm trees, sand and Floridian atmosphere of OKW, BCV and the Grand Floridian resorts. Walking around these three resorts on a peaceful, quiet, sunny morning with my family.

Right here:

 

[Simba's Mom]

In the MK it's right outside a store in Frontierland that faces TSI. There are rocking chairs there that I love to sit in and relax (and watch the Great Egrets).
In Epcot, when I'm staying at the BCV, I love to sit by R&C before 11:00, listen to the music, and watch people go by toward FW in the AM.

Lake View of BLT....nothing like drinking your coffee, watching to sun come up and the smooth as glass lake out on the balcony...so nice

A PROUD OWNER OF BLT!!

There is a large second story patio off of the GF lobby. We sat down at a table, let off some steam, and gave our son a break. That was an excellent mellow spot to take it easy and view the lake.

I also love Poly's lobby.

I absolutely love going to the Boardwalk! Sometimes they have some great activities going on, which I love. But I also like just walking around or sitting on one of the benches to take it all in. I also really enjoy walking the whole loop between Boardwalk and Beach Club!

If I may bring up one from the past, 8TRAX from Pleasure Island drinking a Bacarrdi and Diet, or as the great bartender there Marvin used to make them, it was mostly Bacarrdi and a hint of Diet.

Sitting on the sofa's beside the fireplaces on either the 4'th or 5'th floor in the lobby of the Wilderness Lodge. Sipping on a glass of wine makes it even better and if you are there during the Christmas holiday season, well....it just doesn't get any better.

 

[DVCconvert]

SO many good ones here!

I also like:
Outdoor seating area at Yakitori House
The balcony off from Pinocchio's Village Haus
The benchs near the ferry landing at OKW
The rockers on the porch at the Exhibition Hall on Main Street
The sitting area near the Dawa Bar in AK
to name a few!
