The "dead end" pathway walk toward the Grand from the MK monorail station is peaceful. 9:00 in the morning at Downtown Disney is usually pretty nice compared to the hustle and bustle that shows up a couple of hours later. I enjoy getting a coffee and just walking as things start to open up.

A stroll through the gardens of Dixie, oops, sorry, Port Orleans Riverside. An eary morning or late afternoon round on the back 9 of any of the course. Enjoying the Oasis in DAK, or the gardens of World Showcase. Having a 90 min message treatment in any of the spas.

Originally Posted By tonyanton I love the little patio area at the Japan pavilion, next to Yakitori House...the waterfall, koi fish and lanterns are all perfect. The smaller boats that travel the Seven Seas Lagoon and Bay Lake, especially at night. Tree of Life gardens.
