A day packed with the expectation and excitement of Disney World is sure to catch up with even experienced visitors. If you are a first timer and find your family on the verge of a monumental, vacation destroying melt-down, have no fear, head to one of our family’s favorite spots to take a break.

  • Carousel of Progress – Located in the Tomorrowland area of the Magic Kingdom, the COP was a recent discovery for our family.I’m not sure why we never ventured in there before but I’m so glad we did.We enjoyed approximately 21 minutes of comfy seats and air-conditioning in a moving theater.My youngest almost fell asleep (he was 3 and needed the nap) but my teen enjoyed it. My husband liked it because we got to sit for 20 min. I liked it because it was not crowded and the nostalgia of the presentation. My teen daughter liked it because it was interesting to see how, “the old days were”. (insert eye roll from me, some of that old stuff was from when I was a kid ).

  • Tom Sawyer Island – Located between Frontier Land and Liberty Square, you can spend as much time as you like.Take a short raft ride to the island and let the kids explore while you have a seat in the shade. It is a place to recharge before hitting the attractions again.
     

  • The People Mover – Located in Tomorrowland. A 10-minute trip around the top of the area attractions allows you to get off your feet and rest a bit. Not a fast or scary ride, it gives you a breather during the day and excellent view of the lights at night.
 
  • Walt Disney World Railroad- We have been known to hop on the train, not to get to the other side of the park, but just to ride and not have to move for a while. The round-trip lasts about 20-minutes and you can get on or off at Main Street, Frontier Land or Storybook Circus area. This is also a great way to get a view of the whole park.
     

  • Ft. Wilderness Campground – Ok! I know, this is actually not in the Magic Kingdom but it is close enough that we have used it as a resting spot. The boat ride itself is relaxing and cool on a hot day, but the area right past the beach at Ft. Wilderness is also a great place.The kids can play on the playground; you can grab some refreshments then you can all go see “Cinderella’s horses”.The stables that house the horses used in the Magic Kingdom are nearby and you may even glimpse some wildlife.After you get your second wind, hop on the boat and go back to the park for more!
