Must do's for Adult Couple

Anything you like. We did a bunch of stuff we wouldn't have done with the kids. More "adult" restaurants, more live entertainment. A few evenings out and about. We spent an entire day in Epcot and rode only one thing. Our kids thought we were nuts when we told them that.
 
Has anyone ridden the Breathless at the Yatch Club?
I have heard it is the best 'ride' within the The World.
 
My wife and I will be returning to WDW Dec 10 for our second time without kids. Funny thing is I was always the "oldest boy" of the family. The sons always followed me to the fun stuff so I still do most the kid stuff anyways, but as a couple we enjoyed the freedom to stay in the parks waaaaay past closing until just about everyone else had already caught the bus. "Jeepers! Look! The sidewalks have fiber optic lamps!" With tired kids in tow, we could never see Epcot sidewalks while poking along shoulder-to-shoulder with the masses toward the front gate. We just sit and enjoy the fountain, but keep an eye on the clock so you don't have to call a cab. And ya know what else? It seemed easier to hitch a ride in the front of the monorail without kids. If you dine with characters and yuck it up, sometimes they will pull off a funny and actually talk to silly adults from inside that huge helmet mask. Now THATS a magic moment. Chip asked my wife if he could throw me over the rail of the Garden Grill. She said "sure and I'll help!"
 
My husband and I loved the epcot segway tour also!!

We are on the opposite side, we have gone a ton on our own and now have 2 young boys!!

glad we did the seqways when we did!!:yay:
 

these are some awesome ideas! I never knew disney had the speciality cruises and never thought about the "beach" behind poly for fireworks etc. My gf and I are coming in march and I plan to propose during that week. We are into disney like crazy and she loves WDW. So this is some stuff I will have to check into

Go to Luau Cove. Walk the beach toward Grand Fla... stop by the Wedding Pavilion...which is not a bad place to pop "the question":flower3:. Peek inside the chapel and see how the giant window perfectly frames the castle.
 
Now is the time to do Keys To The Kingdom tour if you haven't been on it because children under 16 are not allowed. It was very interesting to see all the behind the scenes stuff. Before I took that tour I didn't know that Magic Kingdom is really on the second floor. There is an entire city underneath it. :thumbsup2

Judy in Texas, love your camper photo! We took the Keys To The Kingdom tour in 2003. I have mixed feelings about it. OK it gives a full tour of "backstage" and just like every "backstage", it is certainly not as glamorous as "on stage" so it took some of the magic out of the Magic Kingdom in a way, but I did learn a terrific amount of information that gave a better appreciation of some of the attractions. For example, there are 2-3 background tales behind Haunted Mansion. I found out why the doom buggy pivots and runs downhill backwards and why the guy holding the lamp in the graveyard has a spooked look on his face when he is looking at YOU! I used to hate Jungle Cruise until I learned more about it including some very hidden Mickeys. There is even a "hidden Walt" on one of the parade floats. I found out how Tinker Bell stops when she reaches the end of the cable. Stuff like that made it fun.

I've never done this during any of our prior visits. My question is this: Does it take away any of the mystery or magic to experience these first hand? I have seen it on some of the travel channel shows. :confused3

Thanks!
 
This is our 3rd time going without kids (their choice not ours!) anyway the last time we went just the 2 of us was for our 22nd anniversary a cple yrs ago. we had dinner at CRT and received a VERY nice gift ( they asked when we made resv if we were celebrating something like usual but we didnt expect we what got) and then one night we took a carriage ride at FT Wilderness, booked it in time for Wishes so we could watch them as we rode, it was very very nice and romantic. We are going in a few weeks, just the 2 of us again ( our sons claim they are Disneyed out!!) this time we are just gonna go to MK and to MNSSHP, other than that we are just gonna resort hop, spend time at the Boardwalk and DTD....and enjoy just being around the MAGIC!!
 
Make sure you make time for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party! It is a fantastic experience not to be missed. Also, the Candelight Processional at EPCOT is an emotional, uplifting experience. You really haven't lived until you've gone to Mickey's Christmas Party!

:banana:
 
There's so much for adults to do at WDW without the kids! (My husband and I don't have children but love going to WDW.) We really enjoy a leisurely afternoon or evening at World Showcase at Epcot, stopping for a glass of wine in France, maybe a beer in Germany and just soaking up the atmosphere with no agenda otherthan to enjoy our time together.

Any boat ride at Disney is great, but if you can swing it, the boat from MK to the Wilderness Lodge (or the WL to the MK) at night can be really special. Another romantic option is hitting the beach at the Polynesian in the evening. I'd also recommend a morning at the Grand Floridian Spa if it is in your budget -- bliss!

One of the things we love about WDW is that there's something wonderful to see at every turn. Take time to enjoy things like lingering over a glass of champagne in the lobby of the Grand Floridian, really exploring the Oasis at Animal Kingdom, hitting the hot tub after a long day in the parks, stolling around Crescent Lake holding hands -- well, you get the idea.

As others have said, don't miss having a dinner or two at WDW's signature restaurants. They are all special in different ways and you really can't go wrong. We really like Flying Fish on the Boardwalk (the food is fantastic as is the service; plus you can then head out to Jellyrolls), the California Grill at the Contemporary (even if the food wasn't delicious we'd go for the MK fireworks view) and the Brown Derby at Hollywood Studios (also great lunch, especially when you need a midday break).


You'll have a wonderful time!!

We don't have kids either and we've been going to WDW for 11 years now. Spend some time really enjoying the WS at Epcot. Also, I highly recommend KTTK, as did a few others. It's really amazing!
 
Where is Scat Cat?
What is Breathless at the Yacht Club?
Never heard of either.:confused3
 
Scat Cat is the lounge at POFQ.
 
Breatheless is a speed boat at the YC that you can charter for rides or an Illuminations cruise. You can't take it out by yourself though, the driver comes with it. If it were located at one of the MK resorts I'm sure it would be far more popular, the waterways at the EPCOT resorts are to limited IMHO.
I always felt that California Grille is a very romantic restaurant, especially if you can get a window table at Wishes time. The Yachtmans Steakhouse is also very nice.
 
We've enjoyed heading to Raglan Road for some dinner, live Irish music and dance. it's nice to be able to transition from dinner to the bar/lounge area to keep listening. Also love to take my time at the House of Blues and "transition" to the front porch and hear some live music.
