And so will you!

As Sammie said - an early night. Our kids weren't great after 7pm if we'd be in the parks all day, all they wanted was a bite to eat, dip in the pool and bed. If you're on I-Drive you could always somewhere like the Race Rock for a bite to eat and something to look at?

Much the same as everyone else,go back to your hotel & go to the pool...If you asked DS what he wanted to do on our first 2 hols ,it would always be the pool!

Campfire sing along and movie under the stars at fort wilderness, definately a perfect end to a disney day

My two loved nothing more than the pool or playing outside the Lego store at Downtown Disney building some wonderful creations!

We're having the Fairy Godmothers come one evening so the adults can go out. It's not a bad price for a babysitter (comparable to what we'd pay here at home) and it's the same price for 1 child as it is for 3 as long as they are in the same family.

its not international drive area .in fact its just outside the epco at the boardwalk..i would have thought that a pleasant good couple of hours could be spent at the boardwalk for that age group..hire a surrey bike for a half hour ...and then there are the entertainers that stroll up and down the front ...and then the bronco type coconut type shy stalls....and then a nice pizza sititng out front at spoodles....

yes avery pleasnat relaxing in a magic setting can be spent at the boardwalk...and only a fortnight ago thats how we spent a lovely reaxing evening...

cheers

most days i will stay at the villa in the evening but i may not go to a theme park some days and when the kids sleep in the afternoon they are up till 10.30pm awake so its a back-up plan for me lego sounds good and the boardwalk thanks

My DS was just turned 2 on our first visit and nearly three on the next. He loves doing whatever mummy and daddy are doing as he will have a snooze in his buggy whilst at the parks so is then full of beans later.
He loved DTD and visiting the lego store and their play area. We normally have a wander around visiting some of the shops and then head to Giradellis for chocolate covered strwberries.
He is quite easy going so we normally stay in the parks until later doing all the rides that he enjoyed best throughout the day.
If he isn't up to it though we stay in.

It's been mentioned already but there is quite a lot to do at DTD (even better it is free!) for children that age.

My DDs at ages 3 & 6 just loved the Lego play area. DH and I loved to sit and watch them with a nice cold drink Actually, they are now 7 & 10 and still love the Lego play area.

My DDs also love the water fountain area at DTD in the entrance to the Marketplace (though this is one for a hotter time as they can get soaked).

My DDs also loved the Boardwalk (free) with particular enjoyment of the two "funny" mirrors by the boat doak

I'm not sure where you are staying, but at BWV they have a kid's club/rec room down by the pool area. You can go down there and check out free videos(they have a huge collection). They also offer a daily craft project each evening. I took my niece down there a couple times when she was bored and the young girls who were running it were so excited because hardly anyone ever takes advantage of it. The craft projects were very inexpensive and we had a great time. It is very quiet in the room w/ just a couple video games and air hockey ( all of which were complementary if I remember correctly). I don't know if all the resorts have this same sort of setup, but we went down each evening after returning to our room to check out some videos and have some quiet time. Both the kids and adults enjoyed this relaxing time.
