Very quiet, and very cool!

It was so beautiful last year....I can't wait to make it over there again when its dark!

Originally Posted By pecos bill I always try to spend a little time up on the deck of the Main Street Railroad Station. It's surprisingly roomy up there, and I dont have to tell you about the view.

I must go check this out (a new list....things you didnt notice till you 1,000 time at Disney) [I always love it in the off season, when there is one to go on the DLRR sit in a back corner of a car and take a couple laps around the park.] The DLRR is so cool at night. I can ride it again and again.

Nice.> They blocked this off a while back - at least the very back area on the bottom level. A shame... very remote, very shady, very tranquil. Now it's strictly for Fantasmic workers to come and go. An ugly wood fence tries to mask access off. As for the Jumping Fish, they got rehabbed, and work better than ever.

Originally Posted By amazedncal2 ^^ I'm glad to hear the fishies are back I haven't seen them since the refurb Among others already listed, we like to get a corndog for lunch and sit up on the porch where they now have the Nestle Tollhouse Kitchen. It's usually pretty quiet up there and getting a table with an overhead fan on a warm day is a plus Nice place to kick back and relax and make our afternoon plans. Any bench near the flag pole during the last hour when people are leaving the park. We get an ice cream at Gibson Girl and then stroll down to a bench. It's a great people watching spot. Families taking one last picture on Main Street, little kids having sword fights with parents now too tired to tell them to knock it off, sleeping toddlers, dozing parents waiting for their kids to show up and a few minutes to rest our feet before we walk through DTD to our hotel
Originally Posted By threeundertwo I thought of another one, great for kids. The picnic tables behind the corn dog stand on Main Street. Out of the hustle and bustle, and you can watch the characters come out from backstage.

Originally Posted By DlandDug For dining I like the corner table in the south solarium of the Plaza Inn. The corner table facing the photo shop, specifically. Sit there for a meal, watch the folks outside, and eventually you will see EVERYONE at Disneyland pass by. Or so it seems, at least.
