First off .... Congratulations! You guys are going to love this place. There are so many different neat things to do. Here is our list of to do's:
*Sit in the lobby around 9 in the evening and just listen to the band playing on the second floor.
**Go to the second floor, there is a sitting area that overlooks some of the grounds, pool and even the lake. Very relaxing and some good pictures. Every now and then there is a reception or event so if there is you won't be allowed to go there.
***Eat at Narcoosee's around firework's time, if your not in the park, ask for a table against the windows and enjoy dinner while watching the fireworks.
****Just take a quiet stroll along the grounds, beach and pool areas.
*****This has already been said but The Grand Floridian Cafe is fantastic as well as the Park Fare 1900 Dinner of "Cinderella's Gala Feast". Boy, is it a feast. My husband LOVES this place. Even he wants to go again.
******Just take tons of pictures, take ones of the rooms (most people don't believe me about how nice the rooms are until they see my pictures), pictures of the grounds and anything else that gets in the way.
Have a GREAT Trip. Can I go in your suitcase?
I can't hold out til next year. I'm bugging out here. I am helping a friend go in July and her kids picked the Contemporary. It's fun helping to plan someone else's but more fun to just go.
