Places to Escape the Crowds at Walt Disney World

Places to Escape the Crowds at Walt Disney World

A lot of planning goes into a Disney vacation, so by the time you actually get to the parks you want to fit everything in. However, there is so much to see and do at Disney World that even if you were there every day for a year you wouldn’t be able to experience it all.

So, with that being said, it is okay to take a few minutes to just sit down, enjoy your surroundings, take in the Magic, maybe nibble on a snack, and people watch.

There are great places to sit and relax in all four theme parks both inside and outside.

Magic Kingdom

• Pinocchio Village Haus Restaurant – This restaurant has an upstairs, outside balcony that can be found empty most of the time. A great place to grab a snack, relax, and people watch.

• Tom Sawyer Island – A self-paced island adventure that rarely has a line. There are also rocking chairs where you can relax away from the crowds.

• Carousel of Progress – In this unique attraction you learn about the advances in history, such as the refrigerator, while your seats move through the four rooms. This is my second favorite attraction in all of Magic Kingdom. There is also rarely any line –relax and enjoy your time out of the sun.

• Hall of Presidents – Before the show browse the presidential artifacts and the only Presidential seal outside of the White House. The show will provide you with a comfy seat and AC!

Epcot

• Any of the movies around World Showcase provide a nice escape from the Florida heat as well as an educational opportunity.

• France – After you cross the bridge into the France Pavilion there benches that provide a great spot to rest, enjoy a snack, and people watch.

• Living with the Land – This gentle boat ride, found in the Land Pavilion, takes your through amazing greenhouses provide you with the opportunity to rest without having to wait in a long line.

• Showcase Lagoon – All along the lagoon there are seats and benches that provide you with a great place to eat your snacks from around the World, people watch, and just relax while taking in your surroundings.

• Spaceship Earth – Journey through history and Epcot’s iconic geosphere. This attraction gives you 16-minutes to relax and maybe even learn something.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

There are so many shows at the Studios that can provide you with a nice place to take in the air conditioning and/or shade and rest your legs, but there are also other great places to take a break.

• One Man’s Dream – Learn about Disney World and Land’s history before watching a short movie about Walt Disney and how his dreams came true.
