We had an unseasonable day of thunderstorms today, and in all my reading leading up to this trip, I can't recall seeing a lot of info about what to do when it rains here, so I thought I'd post my findings based on what we did today. Please feel free to add more! I am hoping we have sun and not rain the rest of our trip but would love more suggestions...just in case!!!
1. Play the Menehune adventure game - they only let you do the lobby version when the rain is coming down like it was today, but it was fun for 20-30 mins.
2. Borrow a DVD from the community room. Free even if you are not DVC. (We are not. Yet.) They have a large selection of movies.
3. Play games in the community room. We borrowed a memory game and played it right there in the community room. During a lull in the Mickey meet and greet, which had been moved in there due to the weather, Mickey came over and played with us. Stitch did also later on. Made my day! Oh and my kids loved it, too. They also have books and coloring pages for kids in the community room.
4. Bring the kids to Aunty's - but sign up and arrive early!!! Due to the rain the line was out the door at 9:30, but at 9 we walked right in.
5. Work off the Mac nut pancakes and Mickey bars at the fitness center - very well stocked. I used the elliptical and the BOSU while the kids were at Aunty's.
Those are my main suggestions. You could also start watching football and drinking beer at 8 am as my husband and my dad did today... But that has repercussions later in the day so I don't recommend it....
