I would look into seeing if the biking and boating plan is still available--use it for biking over the Fort Wilderness. Ride horses, do the petting zoo, see the campfire.

I would enjoy mini-golf; pool-hopping, if warm enough. Shopping in downtown disney. Do cirque de solei.

The campfire and roast marshmallows at FW peddle boats at FW canoe at FW DTD resort hop and look around at teh different resorts. There are many many things you could do without ever going into a park. We take drives out to Cocoa Beach and Meritt Island for the nature trails.

I also highly recommend the mini-golf at Fantasia Gardens. It was so whimsical and we had a blast! The Circque show is incredible.

The bike and boat plan is still available. They raised the price to $249.00 for the length of your stay (max 10 nights?). I think it’s still a great deal.

Anyone have a link as to what the specifics are on the WL boat and bike plan?

Thanks!

I just researched to bike and boat plan, it's called the Captain's plan and has unlimited bike and boat usage for up to 5 people for $269. It is only valid at the resort where its purchased.

We stay at VWL. Two of our favorite things is to rent bikes and bike through the woods to WL and the petting zoo. We also rent boats and go out on the lake a few times.

Sometimes I think we enjoy our time outside of the parks even more.

Why not take a day and head over to Kennedy Space Center. You can easily spend the entire day there. Very educational too.

We got to be flag family last March! It was an awesome expierence!We signed up for it at check-in! We also enjoy renting bikes and riding on the path to the campgrounds. There is a nice petting zoo there! They also have pony rides for the kids for a small charge (I believe it was $5.oo). Also, Fantasia mini golf is lots of fun as is Disney Quest! A water park is also a fun thing to do, as is renting water mice for a spin a round Bay lake! You could also take the boat to Contemporary Resort and play in their arcade (it has lots of games and is lots of fun)! And, last but not least is shopping at Downtown Disney!

We like to go to the Spa at the GF and then do afternoon tea. My husband and son play golf and we also like to shop at downtown Disney. But you can not beat just hanging around the hotel pool on a hot afternoon.

A couple of DH's and I's favourite things to do are mini golf, Jellyrolls and bike riding at Ft Wilderness. We also love to just wander around DTD and people watch.
