What's the quietest spot in each land?

[irlandaise]

I think the distractions would work really well. I was trying to think of shops to pop into or something like that but they're usually crowded. Focusing on finding things like light fixtures would be helpful.

There are also some virtual geocaches at the DLR that are fun to look for. Here are a few:

Patrick Begorra's house is at the base of the tree just to the right of the entrance to IJ...ask a nearby CM to show you if you can't find it...

Fantasyland: Snow White's Grotto - I'm not sure when you are visiting, but lately they have had characters in this area. By "tables behind Matterhorn" do you mean the Fantasyland Dock? If so, that is a good place
Main Street: Seating near Jolly Holiday - I wouldn't consider this area calm or quiet. Maybe the upper deck outside of the train station on Main Street.
Adventureland: Tiki Room waiting area - This area is rarely calm or quiet. Adventureland is very crowded.
New Orleans Square: Harbour Galley - good location on the lower decks. They just closed Port Royal and made it a dining area. Since most people don't know about it (yet), it is very calm.
Frontierland: Tom Sawyer's Island - especially the picnic benches facing the Mark Twain dock
Critter Country: Winnie the Pooh area - This is now called Bayou Country and is very crowded since Tiana's opened. Depending on the time of day, the top story of Hungry Bear in the back can be calmer.
Toontown: At the far end of Toontown they have a grassy area that they refer to as a quiet place.
Take a loop around on the train.

Avengers Campus: Tables between Hyperion and Guardians, where Shwarma cart is located
Carsland: Side seating near Flo's
Pixar Pier: Paradise Garden/Boardwalk Pizza eating area, Lower level of SSS.
Grizzly peak: Benches near GRR - more like the backside of GRR.
Hollywood Land- Near the stage, near Studio Catering, Philharmagic waiting area

Thanks, LKing! Yes, I forgot the tables are called Fantasyland dock lol.

I must have ended up outside the tiki room at random quiet times, because it's always seemed nice to me. Not right before a show, though. Then it's pretty busy.

Port Royal dining area looks great. I'll keep that in mind.

I know almost nothing about Hollywood land. Where would this be in relation to the Monsters Ride?

Thanks, Tinkaboo! I bet my daughter would love seeing that. Funny over the years it never occurred to me to ask a CM lol.

Almost all of Hollywood Land is calm and quiet.
The red area is behind Award Weiners. It is what I referred to as the Philarmagic waiting area. There are tables in the shade.
The teal area is the stage.
The purple are has sofas and tables.
The light blue circle is just across from the restrooms. There aren't any chairs, but it is pretty calm, without much traffic.

With the walkway to Avengers blocked off, Red's Community Garden seating might be a nice area. It is behind Cozy Cone and across from Luigi's.

That looks very relaxing

Taking a cruise on the Mark Twain is incredibly relaxing! The lower deck has chairs, but there are lots of other areas to stand away from people on the upper decks. I loved it so much last time that I just stayed onboard when they docked so I could take another ride!

I'm easily overwhelmed by noise and hustle-bustle at times, mostly when my health conditions start flaring up in the middle of the parks, so I've found a few quiet places. My top favorites:

Bottom level at Hungry Bear (especially good when adding funnel cake fries to the quiet time!), though sometimes the top level is quiet at non-meal times and allows a great people watching opportunity while still being chill.

Tom Sawyer Island (there's lots of quiet-ish nooks and crannies where you can overlook a fairly quiet Rivers of America).

Tomorrowland bathrooms next to Autopia. Yes, I know it sounds weird, but it's typically fairly quiet-ish back there, and if I'm really needing a break and am in that area, it's an easy spot to get to.

Big Thunder Mountain Trail. Even with the entrances to Galaxy's Edge, the little "off shoot" areas give a fair space for a breather.

Under the Silly Symphonies Swings facing the water. Caveat: *NOT* the place to be when they are doing a Magic Key swag giveaway, lol. Then it can be chaos.

The trail behind Grizzly. I've even attended work Zoom meetings/trainings back there.

If it's the heat that's cranky-ing me, then I'll just hop from indoor show to indoor show to indoor show. I can sit through multiple rounds of Turtle Talk since it changes based on the crowd interactions, and it's right across the street from Philharmagic.

I know plenty of people like the Main Street Cinema, but that's always a hit or miss for me; I've been in there interrupting canoodling teenagers, toddlers throwing tantrums, and kids running around in circles.

Thanks so much for all these ideas! I never would have thought of the Autopia bathrooms

I find just wearing my Air Pods or any noise filtering ear plug really helps but the AirPods are the best because of the different settings...you can filter how much you want to hear. I also use Eargasms (the high end ones musicians wear) and then I have Loops, which I bought after reading a recommendation on the DISabilities forum. They don't do as much for me personally as the other two options.

If i really need isolation and calming, then I can use the sound apps on my phone as well.

PS-I don't really like wearing the over the ears muffs...too much to carry around and they clash with my outfits PLUS then I can't wear my cute ears that I spend so much time making!

Thanks! I'll look into these. My daughter likes ear muffs, maybe we can add some pixie dust to those
