Going to Disney World for a week? DO NOT plan a park day for every day!
Going to Disney can be exhausting! We averaged 10 miles of walking every day on our last trip. Your feet hurt, your legs are sore, it’s so hot and after a few days everyone is ready for a break.
We always like to plan a break day somewhere in the middle of our week.
On our break day this year, our group split up for part of the day.
🛍️ Some of the older kids took the bus to Disney Springs and came back with minifigures they made to look like themselves.
🎮 The younger kids hung out at the resort, played games in the arcade, and even met Mickey, Minnie and Daisy in the lobby!
🏊♀️ We all met back up at the pool and lounged around for a while. The Cast Members also had pool games and activities going on for the kids.
Then we got ready and took a bus to Magic Kingdom — but we weren't going to the park! We hopped on the monorail and headed to the Grand Floridian for our dinner reservation at 1900 Park Fare, where we had a buffet-style dinner and met Aladdin, Tiana, Cinderella and Mirabel.
🌙 That night, some of us took the Skyliner over to the BoardWalk Resort to check out the nighttime activities, some went back to Disney Springs for more shopping and live music...and some went to bed 😄.
And that's just ONE way to spend a break day.
Disney World is so much more than just the parks! And sometimes that break day in the middle of the week is exactly what everyone needs to be ready for the rest of the trip.
