Well, let's see.......one of our favorite things to do.......take an hour one afternoon and rent a pontoon boat (you get a DVC discount) and just cruise around Bay Lake and Seven Seas Lagoon......I guarantee it will be THE MOST relaxing portion of your trip. Another fun thing......rent a surrey bike (another DVC discount) and ride over to Ft. Wilderness on the bike path. Just hang around the pool for an afternoon or........take a good book with you and sit in the Carolwood Pacific Railroad Room (formerly the Iron Spike Room)at VWL
with a glass of wine in front of the fire (best in winter months) or if you're a people watcher.....take your book and wine (or cocoa/coffee) and head over to the WL lobby. I've had to go "collect" my DH and/or two adult sons on a few occasions when they've become so relaxed while reading in the WL lobby and fallen asleep...........best yet, if you ever have the opportunity to be there the first few days of January, usually around the 4th or 5th......stay up late and hang around the lobby of WL......and watch the Disney crew take down the Christmas tree and all the decorations......it's amazing..........

So not to wake up the others in our room, us early risers would get a cup of hot chocolate and meet by the fire place (spike room?)to play checkers and chess. Great resort and memory! Have fun!
