Need help filling "personal time".....

[Eeyore2003]

For 3 mornings of our 9 day trip in November, DH will be attending a conference. I could use some suggestions for something to do by myself. We "hopefully" will be staying at either the Boardwalk Villas or Beachclub Villas. I looked over the stuff at the spas and found a few things, facial, neck and eye facial, manicure, pedicure and one of the massages with stones or something at Saratoga Springs sounded interesting, although I've never done a "massage" at all. Anyone ever do any of these, or have any other suggestions that I may not have thought about???

It should still be plenty warm for some lounging by the pool with a good book or magazine. I have done a hot stone massage & had round (stone shaped) burns on my back for days. I would stick to the tried and true swedish massages!! Nothing like getting a pedicure either! You could always wander the boardwalk or go to DTD to do some shopping (dh hates to shop with me!). Maybe you could find one of the other wives (who's hubby's are at the conference too) and do something together (shop & do lunch, etc). Heck, you could even go to a movie if you wanted!! I would LOVE 3 days to myself!

I would check out other resorts. This is something my DH does do with me, but he would probably rather not. So I would take that time and enjoy the resorts!

Early breakfast at the Main Street Bakery, grab an out door table and just sit and watch, you have no idea how entertaining it is.

Segway Tour of Epcot.

I've never done one but that's what I'd do.

Or the Keys to the Kingdom Tour, if you're a real Mickeyphile, but I think that's a whole day?

There is a spa at the Swan/Dolphin, which is right between the Beach/Yacht Club and the Boardwalk. It has massages and facials along with the usual spa stuff. If you'll have park tickets, I would spend time in Epcot's World Showcase. There's lots of shopping you can do and some fun street entertainment. You could also sample food from several of the countries.

Thanks, for the comment on the "stone" massage. I'm X-ing that off. I think I'm going to treat DH to the Segway tour another day. He's really been wanting to do that. I like to people watch too and I didn't know they had a spa at the Swan and Dolphin. I'm going to check that out too. The would be really convenient. Although, the Grand Floridian sounds SO fancy!!! I also thought of just walking around DTD. I love it there too!!!

Definately swing by the Grand Floridian. On my "alone day", I went horseback riding at Ft. Wilderness, took a boat to the Contemporary (nice and relaxing!), then hopped the monorail to the Grand Floridian for some spa time and their afternoon tea.

Fun!

I am really into the "spa experience" myself Very relaxing and they treat you like a queen. Plus your face, toes, and hands look fabulous. The effects of my facials are noticable for at least a week afterwards (if you do go for a facial, tell them you have sensitive skin - sometimes you can get a not so pleasant reaction afterwards and that would put a damper on your trip )

Otherwise, just shop, lounge, and have lots of fun
