What day do you NOT go to the parks?

Oh my!

A typo, but not entirely inaccurate as it turns out!

Pick a day in the middle of the trip and rent a car over at Dolphin. Make the short drive over to the coast (Cocoa Beach Atlantic side or Ft. Desoto gulf side) and let them hang at the breach for the day. Take in a good meal while viewing the water also.

If it was just my daughter and I this would be an option, but it will by myself and four teenage girls. They are all great kids, but for the sake of my sanity I want them to go off on their own on this day so that I can have a peaceful and drama free day; a very quiet spa day is what I am planning on for myself.

This summer I am taking my daughter and three of her friends to WDW for 12 days/12 nights to celebrate their HS graduations, but I did not want to buy her friends annual passes, so I bought them 10 day park hoppers, this means there are two days that will be resort days. Our arrival day will be a rest day after taking a red eye flight from Vancouver, BC, but what should I choose as the other resort day? My daughter and I have always had annual passes so we have always gone to the parks everyday, even if it was just for EMH, so I am not sure of the best strategy in picking a day off from the parks; do we choose day two of our trip, a certain day of the week, or the last day before we fly home? I would love to hear from anybody with experience with this situation,
TIA

A day off in the middle of the trip is good as it gives you a chance to rest from all the walking.

I typically plan every 3rd or 4th day as a "rest" day. With such a long trip, you may want a couple of these so the girls can sleep in, then enjoy the pool and hit parks lightly in the evening. Just pick one to skip parks. I try to book something fun for dinner if we are not doing parks at all. What a lucky daughter you have, sounds like a great trip!

We love to go to the MK for evening EMH. You can get so much done late at night. I would suggest going to the evening EMH and taking the next day as a resort day. After staying at MK until 3:00 a.m., my family needed to sleep in and relax the next day.
