Suggestions-What to do during pirate cruise?

[poohkinandpiglet]

I'm curious to know what you enjoy doing at the GF while the kids do the pirate cruise?

Suggestions, please!

We just did this on Saturday. We took our younger daughter on the monorail and rode over to the Polynesian and had breakfast there. Then we walked around the Polynesian a bit, and then rode the monorail and went back to the GF to pick up our daughter.

If I had to do it again, I probably would have made a PS for around 10 am for the character breakfast at the GF. They had some cool characters roaming the place --we saw Eeyore, the Mad Hatter and Alice. But what we did was fun too.

DH and I rented water mice for an hour. Since we were staying there I did laundry too.

Think about making a reservation at the Grand Floridian Spa while the kids are on the cruise.

I went to the GF spa and got a massage. Got back in plenty of time for DS to get back from his trip.

When my DD did the cruise, we had breakfast at the GF Cafe - the banana pancakes were delicious!!!

When DD does the Alice In Wonderland Tea Party, we have lunch at GF Cafe. Its such a relaxing restaurant - so open and airy. When the tea party is over, I just go get her and bring her back to our table! (The first time she did the tea party, DH & I had a drink out by the pool bar and just talked)

Have a great time!

Well, I'll do it differently next time, but last time, we went an had a pretty good breakfast at the counter service restaurant at GF (can't remember the name, but the soup was pretty good - I know, I know why was I eating soup at 10:30am?). I also sat in the lobby of the GF and read a book. I really enjoyed people watching and just the down time away from DS. I love my son more than anything, but every now and then it is nice to get a break. Especially when he's on overload from a week a Disney.

Those are so much fun!

That's DEFINATELY what I would do.

And then the next day, when they do it again ( ) I'd book a massage.

We did the same thing. DH and I had a great time and we watched the PC from the lagoon. Then when DS was done, we rented them with him as a passenger.

It was a great time.
