Let me say that Big Thunder Mountain is not the ride to catch some zzzz's. However, POC was cool and slow. What are some other rides that make it easy to catch up with a sleep?

Being on the Mark Twain can be nice and relaxing if you can grab a seat. Best one though, the train! Just hop on it in, make sure to get a seat in a corner in the very back, wear some sunglasses and you can be on that sucker for hours sleeping while you're circling DL lol. But if you want somewhere peaceful to sleep without riding and dont want a lot of people around, TSI is nice . I actually slept there for a few hours, but it was at Tokyo Disneyland. I went there after being jet lagged as hell from the plane ride the night before. Like you been up all day couldnt sleep all night, but went to the park in the morning. Got to TSI in the afternoon, sat on a bench and ended up dozing off for a good hour. I remember a little girl and her brother poking me probably wondering if I was still alive .

Originally Posted By amazedncal2 I've seen lots of people sleeping on the train Yes, POTC and Small World are great too but they don't have the "prop up" place that the train offers as World Disney mentioned. Not a ride but you could always go to Carnation Gardens, choose a table in the shade, maybe get a soda for a "prop" and put your head on the table like you are just taking a moment I have also seen plenty of people dozing in the Grand lobby.

Mines usualy the train though, or a quiet shady spot near the NOS train station.

Originally Posted By MagentaPanther Dunno if you'd call it a ride, but Muppets 3D is a snoozefest for me. Good place to sit in a nice dark air-conditioned theater and nod off.
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 ^^LOL! While I enjoy Muppets 3D I have been known to nod off in there My friend calls it "bobbing and weaving"
Originally Posted By LuLu Tom Sawyer Island. There are some large boulders and/or benches behind the fort where you can actually stretch out and nap for more than a few minutes. My (adult) daughter tried this on our last visit
Originally Posted By GoofTrooper23 I too have kept on my shades pretending to look in a certain direction on POC and dozed off....It's a small world is definitely dark and cool - ideal!
Originally Posted By onlyme As LPFan22 stated, the GCH is just the perfect spot for me. While we never stay there, we usually walk through in the afternoon before heading back to our room...to take a nap. When I sit in one of those huge comfy chairs, it's nearly impossible not to close your eyes and wander off. And, in the winter with the fireplace going, it's just too much to resist. Obviously, I'm getting older, and for some reason, need a nap about 3pm when I visit DL. I don't know how I used to do it from opening to closing with no breaks.
Originally Posted By Princessjenn5795 The chairs at the GCH work. It's a Small World is okay but there is a very strong possibility that if you fall asleep while that song is playing you will have it stuck in your head for the rest of your life and will slowly go crazy and end up in a padded room some day. If you can find a place to sit on the Mark Twain it is a nice slow ride and would be pretty nice. There is a movie theater in DTD. You could always get a ticket to a boring movie and take a two hour nap. Some people have mentioned POTC but I love all the scenery in that ride so much that it would be hard to sleep. Same with Haunted mansion but those buggies are actually pretty comfy so it could work for you.

Originally Posted By markymouse Wrong park, but I "watched" a fair bit of the Walt Disney Story with my eyes closed. It was so cool and dark and relaxing during a long, active vacation. I've said too many times, but none recently, that Disney needs to rediscover the A ticket attraction. Guests need quiet and rest, especially if they're not actually falling asleep. A day of Splash, Indy, etc. can be too much. A little Billy Hill and riverboat cruising is needed to catch your breath. But when you're really past that, a park bench with a view of the Rivers of America sure can be nice.
