What would you do?

[disneyfreak71]

We are going to the spa at GF around 11am which will last for about 2 1/2 hours and then going to MK for early entry at 4pm for MVMCP. What would you do in between?

Thanks

I'd explore the GF and look at all the Christmas decorations.If you have time hop on the monorail and check out the Poly and the Contemporary all decked out for the holidays too!

 

[JDarling]

I completely agree! Why not relax and stroll around the GF taking in the holiday decorations? Then, hop the monorail to the contemporary and have drinks at the lounge in the CA Grill?

Personally, I would top off that wonderful "spa experience" with the Afternoon Tea in the Garden View Lounge at the Grand Floridian. It starts at 2, perfect timing. They serve coffee also. I think the Grand Floridian Cafe is also open. That way you'd be set for a while for the party too.

I'd go to the 3 monorail resorts and take in decorations and look at the shops.

After 2 1/2 hours in the spa, I would probably go find a chair by the pool and crash for as long as I could. I am jello after a 90 minute massage.

I would definately check out the GB lobby - their Christmas decorations are beautiful - along with their life size Gingerbread House. Tea would also be great (I have always wanted to do this - maybe next trip). Unless you have reservations for somewhere to eat at MVMCP I would have a quick bite to eat so you can enjoy the party and not worry about eating.

Awww... this was totally my idea! It would be perfect after the spa

I just assumed you were getting a massage and said sleep...but if you are doing something more invigorating or pampering that wont require a shower and recovery afterwards, I would also go to the afternoon tea.

If it is open, I would schedule a late lunch/early dinner at the Grand Flordian Cafe. It is a cute restaurant with great food. Then, you are good to go for MVMCP with no interuptions.

So many ideas!!!

Is there any kind of food with tea? We are actually having dinner at 10pm at 'ohana after we leave the party so food we be a good thing.

I got this off Deb's All Ears Net site - this is a great site to go to for (besides this one) for everything Disney.

Don't forget to add a little time after your treatments to sit in the steam room or jacuzzi if it's okay for you to do so!

We usually get this tea when we go..it is EXTREMELY filling! If you have this earyl afternoon, then O'Hana's at 10:00 would be good timing. (We had ressies at 2:20 this summer and I was not hungary again until about 9pm...and I am a BIG eater. We made the rookie mistake the first time we wnt here...had "tea" at 4:30 and had Hollywood & Vine ressie for 7:30, and was not hungary at all!

Have fun!!
