Hi everyone! My 13yo DS and I are traveling to Orlando for his volleyball tournament and decided to stay two nights in Pop Century. This is our first time staying in this resort and we don’t have the funds to swing theme park tickets. Wondering what non-park activities you would suggest? I already booked a reservation for Homecomin’, his favorite restuarant, and plan to spend time in Disney Springs. I think we will also try and go over the Poly one evening to watch the fireworks from the beach (do they still pipe the music outside for the show?). I couldn’t remember if I needed a dining reservation if I was getting off the monorail (plan to bus from Pop to Magic and monorail to Poly) or if they will just let us in on June 29.
I welcome all suggestions of magical things we can do and enjoy!
This website is run by fellow liner, @limegreenmonorail , and it lists all of the resort activities each month. You could take the Skyliner to CBR, BW, BC, or Riviera. You could also walk to AoA.
Funny you should mention mini golf. When we went to WDW in December, our package included 1-day admission to DWWS or mini-golf. We didn’t use them at the time, but today when I looked in My Disney Experience, they are still listed as available. I might try to book a time to play using those. Any idea the best place to ask about whether these are really active and available?
Catch the skyliner to the Epcot area and spend some time on the Boardwalk. We did this in January and they had some good performers (magician and acrobats) performing and it’s such a pretty area at night. We walked to the mini golf from there too. Maybe late afternoon mini golf followed by dinner on the Boardwalk?
There’s the evening campfires at the resorts. I just learned that for the Fort Wildnerness one Chip n Dale are there. Fort Wildnerness also has some recreational activities like archery.
