And we have pretty much all the info down for the parks at WDW but what are some good "extras" to do? We have 9 days there so we have time to really enjoy the resort. I thought the mini golf looked fun and seeing as how I'm going with two guys I think they'd really enjoy DisneyQuest. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks in advance guys!

Originally Posted By Kylesmom Yes, they are little one or two man boats, I think they go around 25 or 35 MPH. In something that small, it feels allot faster.

Originally Posted By trekkeruss I second the Sprites idea. Loads o' fun! A visit to the casting center is cool, even if you have no intention of trying out for a role.

Definitely do the hotel tours (especially Animal Kingdom Lodge) Will you have a car? If so, take a day to go to Kennedy Space Center. It's unforgettable. Ursula loved the Segway tour at Epcot.

Originally Posted By pitapan16 Electrical Water Pagent on the Seven Seas Lagoon..

A nice evening at a special restaurant. I recommend Ohana at the Polynesian Resort and make a res for the best window seat available an hour before Wishes fireworks go off. Dinner and Fireworks from across the lagoon. Waterparks are unlike any other. Both parks are awesome. I visited DisneyQuest for the first time last November and really had a fun time for the lil time we had. Basically a giant 5 story interactive arcade with everything!
Originally Posted By adizneeguy WOW, I love all of these ideas. And I am excited for you. I second Ohana, my favorite restaraunt hands down. Check out the Lassen Studios at the Poly. Cool stuff there. I think there is another at Boardwalk. Westside at Downtown Disney is cool to hang out and shop at night. The magic Shop is too cool if demonstrations are going on. Disney Quest is fun too. Oh yeah, Beverly at Ice Station Cool, or Club Cool, whichever it is now. It's a can't miss beverage.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Ok, some really great side things to do, some have already been mentioned but worth repeating: Watch the Electrical Water PAgeant from the beach of the Poly. Do Disneyquest - it is awesome. I had to really coax Sarah in, but once we got there, it was me trying to get her to leave 8 hours later. The mini golf at Fantasia Gardens is a hoot. Don't miss the Adventurer's Club and Comedy Warehouse at Pleasure Island. If you can aford it, La Nouba by the Cirque du Soliel is amazing. The duelling Pianos at Jellyrolls on Boardwalk are great. The Hoop de Do Musical review and Polynesian Luau are fantastic. Also, the waterpark are like no where else. Have a great trip.
