For those who do pleasure island, do you do a park the next day?

[marriedmarylander]

Do you sleep in and go to a park in the afternoon? I'm trying to decide what would be a better day to go to PI - on the last day of our trip so the next morning we just checkout and fly home (plane leaves at 4PM) or on a day mid-trip where the next day we'll be either at a park or water park.

Depends on what we're doing at PI...

We only hit PI for the Adventurer's Club. We've popped into the other places and they just are not for us. But we LOVE the AC and actually bought AP's to PI so we can go for a bit every night to unwind. Sometimes we drink, often we don't. Sometimes we stay till the end of the night, sometimes we don't.

Usually we do get up to do EMH the next day. But we've had a few nights at the AC where we just felt the need to sleep in a bit the next day. We still went to a park, but skipped EMH.

Usually we'll make the next day a non-park day...sleep in, eat a late breakfast, then go to Downtown Disney, tour resorts, mini-golf, etc. We always like to have a couple of non-park days during our stay. Of course now, with DS, all that will change and I doubt we'll be going to PI for the next few years.

 

[marriedmarylander]

I was thinking if we did PI and just did a water park the next day (no regular park) if that is too hectic. Or if we did PI and the next day was the day we leave.

Last trip DH and DS19 went since DS was old enough. They picked a night in the middle of our 7 nights because they need a down day in the middle anyway. They slept in the next day and went to the Gospel Brunch at the HOB at about 1:00 and then saw a movie at Downtown Disney. It was a relaxing break for them.

 

[EsmeraldaX]

I would think a water park would be relaxing the next day.

If you have morning flights, I'd just be worried about oversleeping the next morning and missing your flight.

We usually sleep in late and hit a park in the afternoon. It works out well. I enjoy it.

 

[TSR6]

It seemed as if a lot of people do PI on their last night - even more so if they leave on a Thurs, Fri, or Sat.

The general concensus was that they'd rather be hung over for the flight home than be hung over in the parks the next day. ( for those that drink )

 

[heffalump9]

We normally do PI on the days we visit MGM or AK, then the next morning we sleep in a bit, have a sit down breakfast and go to Epcot WS which opens at 11am. This works well for us.

 

[Hopefully]

I usually plan PI mid to late in our trip. We plan the next morning as a late start and do a "Make-Up" theme park day - a park we have already visited, and may just want to re-visit a few favorite attractions.
I never want a fun evening like a trip to PI to end up being a stressor the next day.
Have Fun

We do it whatever night we have energy. I believe this trip it will be our first night in or we may fly down a day before so our non-park day would be our first day there. Only person who does have an adult beverage is my step bro and I don't mind leaving him at the hotel for a day!

 

[marriedmarylander]

Thanks for the suggestions. We arrive on Monday and I think we'll do PI about Thursday... and on Friday do a water park and just relax...

 

[SaraMc]

What ever you do dont do what we did. Go to the Adventurer's Club, have waaaay to many Kungaloosh's and then the next day go to Chef Mickey's for a 8:30 am breakfast. We were a very very quiet table. We went to the Magic Kingdom after and we moved slowly. All is all next time must sleep in.

Well, as long as you're not hungover leaving it for the last night might be a good plan. I'd hate to fly when I was feeling poorly.

I'd maybe consider a water park or pool day afterwards, or at least through the morning.

 

[Poohbear123]

I will be going there the first night I am there, and sleeping till 9:00 the next day. I went to a park after PI one time, early the next day, and learned my lesson!

 

[BamaTigger]

Me and my DH are bar-hoppers here at home (im a ol' redneck cowboy boots/hat wearing gal who loves a good country/western bar ) and I always steer clear from PI cause I can drink like a fish and I just cant anticipate having a hangover at Disney. And I have heard the "drink in moderation" speech, and uh..well.....IT AINT FOR ME !!

So at WDW, Im strictly a park goer!

marriedmarylander---You can always sleep on the plane!!!! HAVE FUN WHATEVER YOU DECIDE!!!!!!!!!

 

[MPLsDad]

Last July I did PI with a friend and then was due to take the Segway tour the next mornig at 8:30am sharp. Well, I made the tour and did quite well considering being out until 2:30am, proceeded to have some drinks around the WS and then ended up in bed pretty early the next night for sure! This time, I'll make sure there's nothing important going on the next morning just in case...

 

[BensMom]

All depends if we stay for the hoopla at AdvClub!

 

[MickeyMacks]

I'm planning on doing the Adventurer's Club but not staying too late since I have to pick my DS8 up at Neverland Club at the Poly. Hopefully this will keep me somewhat in check! DS and I are going to DTD the next a.m. to visit Lego Store and then DisneyQuest. He has informed me he intends to build a level 5 coaster at Cyberspace Mountain at DQ and wants me to ride it with him. Note to self: Go easy on the drinks at AC...

 

[CinderellaIam]

We go nearly every night of our trip (we love the AC!) We have a drink or two when we first arrive, and then switch to soda or water. We get back to the room anywhere between 1:00-2:30, and are up and out for park opening, sometimes for EMH. It's not that we are tea totalers, we just want to have fun and enjoy every minute of our vacation so we don't over do the alcohol.

By the way, by the time we get home, we need at least two days rest to recover from our WDW vacation!
