Good "take a break" attractions in each park?

Epcot if you get to the American pavilion early enough before Voices of Liberty you can get one of the few benches inside and have a non ground seat for it. The theater in the pavilion also has seats for the American adventure. You can ride Nemo which usually has a low wait. The aquarium outside Nemo has some bench type seating also.

That theater currently shows "Vacation Fun" A package of the newer Mickey shorts with some original wraparounds. It does feature the classic Potatoland episode.

Awesome Planet in The Land pavilion would also fit the bill here for Epcot.

Awesome Planet is pretty underrated, and if you want a really, really chill location with almost nobody in it, that's the place. The theater is so retro too - a vestige of "old Epcot" hanging around.

For anyone who's planning on using the new Little Mermaid show at DHS for their break from the heat, take warning. You can get in line for this (an outdoor line) and can end up being in line not for the upcoming show, but for the one after that. That happened to us and we didn't want to wait 40 minutes for the next show, so we left and returned another day to see it.

For HW Studios, it used to be the room upstairs in Pizzarizzo...I hope they keep that when it becomes Monsters. For Epcot, definitely the Land pavilion. Dining, boat ride, Awesome Planet movie, and then the Aquarium in the next pavilion over. But my kid loves the Pixar movie shorts, too ... definitely reminding myself why Epcot remains my favorite "busy day" park. I can always have a good day there. There are plenty of little AC areas in various countries (China, Japan, Morrocco) with interesting displays, but I can't remember if there is anyplace to sit.
