I know it seems counter-intuitive but I consider many of the rides actually quite relaxing places to go get some AC and relax. For example, when I'm stressed out I'll often go over to Pirates of the Carribean. It's nice and cool and the wait is usually short. Plus it's fairly long so you get to just kind of sit and chill and see your old "friends."
What rides do you guys like to chill on?
I've taken naps during shows in Hall of Presidents and Carousel of Progress. I've also been known to doze off during Great Movie Ride and Ellen's World of Energy, but the seats are not as comfortable and you can't slide down the seats.
No longer an active member.
Impressions de France and the American Adventure are both shows at World Showcase that run about 20 and 30 minutes respectively and are held in air conditioned theatres with relatively comfortable seats.
At MK there is aways TTA though it is partially outdoors so you won't cool off on hot days. But it's long and slow and a good escape from the hustle and bustle.
The Theater in the Wild at DAK (which currently houses Finding Nemo: The Musical which I highly recommend) is pretty comfortable and you'll be in there a while.
Upcoming Trips Gotta be the TTA! PotC is good too. They're not as good for sleeping or resting, but they have more visual interest. I guess it depends on if you're looking to basically catnap or just kind of kick back but still have fun. The EPCOT movies are great for basically sleeping!
Why did I think Impressions de France was a stand-up thing?
My picks would be El Rio del Tiempo and any of the 3D movies (except Tough to be a Bug, because they poke you and what not.)

It's in a nice sit down theater! Not as big as the American Adventure but still very comfortable.
The theaters in the Canada and China pavillions feature full Circlevision films and have those leaners in place on the floor.

Thanks! I had no idea....
Also--Wilderness Lodge Villas are my favorite place to be at Christmas time!!!
Upcoming Trips I've never been there at Christmas time, so here's hoping for this year!

So cozy and romantic. Especially the villas. you'll love it. I hope you guys get to stay there. Are you waitlisted or is it just too early to book?
Upcoming Trips AKL could be fun at Christmas too. Will Bay Lake be done by then?

I just heard from DVC yesterday that they moved up the proposed opening to this August.
Probably quite "expensive" though.

What are the point differences between AKV and Bay Lake Tower? I'd think both would be a draw, but that Magic Kingdom proximity might make BLT the most attractive. (Ha! "BLT." That's funny.)
Upcoming Trips You guys might think I'm crazy, but we tend to like to ride Kali River Rapids around at the end of the night just to relax. If it's chilly though, that's a no-go.

We do that, too! I think it's more common than you think.

Relaxing Ride? TTA
To just relax, the boats between the resorts.
Taking a small Boat from Wilderness Lodge to the MK during sunset is amazing, And with wife in arm very romantic. We were the only ones on board. It was like a private cruse for free.
I need to dig those photos out.

TTA is definitely a winner.
The boats are great, except I get stressed out if it's busy. Too many people. I would also agree that the small ones are much more fun than the big ones, although the big ones up front are pretty relaxing.

Bumping! Marzyar's still holding out photos!
I forgot...And I haven't got the hang of posting pic's here so ill try...
That picture of the WL dock where it's just starting to get dark and the lights are on is great. Makes me wish we had a trip planned.

That's one of the purdiest sunsets I've seen in a while. Makes me consider fighting DW to get WL a little more on the table for the fall trip.
By the way, admin just posted a photo how-to. The attachments are fine, but if you want your photos bigger and in the posts, this is one of the many ways to do it.
