If there was one thing you could do?

Dh and I leave in 40 days for our adults only trip ...this is a much needed trip for the two of us, it's been 4 years since we've had a vacation by ourselves. We've included the following extras in our itinerary thus far: La Nouba, Keys to the Kingdom tour and hitting the PI Nightlife before it is no longer there. We also plan on going to both waterparks...we can't wait.

If there was one thing you could do on an adults only trip that you've always wanted to and not been able to because the kids were with you, what would it be??

Re: If there was one thing you could do?

I would love a dinner for two at somewhere fabulous like Victoria and Alberts, or maybe a Spa visit, something grown up and totally un-kid like!! I hope you have a wonderful trip.

Segway tour at Epcot!

When Bella posted it in her TR, it looked like so much FUN!

I would definitely say Pleasure Island. We have never been able to do PI because of the kids. AND... It looks like we never will..lol.. oh well.

This was going to be my response too! DH and I had a "night out" while DD was in the kids club. We ate dinner at Spoodles and then went to Jelly Rolls after - it was sooo fun!!

Our next trip we are doing an adults night and having dinner at Narcoosees. I've heard great reviews and I can't wait to watch Wishes from there.

While in PI make sure the go to the Comedy Warehouse - it's all improv and it's (usually) really funny!

hehe, I was thinking when DH and I go by ourselves in JANUARY, we'll have dinner at the Flying Fish and then finally experience Jelly Rolls.
Narcoossees is on the list as well.

Re: If there was one thing you could do?

The two things I enjoyed most on our "adults only" trip was to be able and sit in a bar and talk. We sat at POFQ. There was this musician there that played at least 15 instruments. It was great to be able to sit, listen and talk. The other thing was to hotel hop. There is no way our DS's would have the patience for that, so it was great to explore!

Well I'll let you know how Narcoosee's is after Nov - I have high hopes for this one

For Jelly Rolls make sure you go a little later. We went at 9:00 and it was really dead. Things were really picking up around 10:30, but we had to leave to retrieve DD from the Sandcastle Club!

Oh, thank you. I would love to hear all about Narcoossee's. We all would, I am sure. Going out late is never a problem for us. We can have an adult dinner before, at adult dinner time

Re: If there was one thing you could do?

Dh and I want to take an adults only trip. We have to wait for Mom and Dad to move to Florida first. But if we did it......I would want to rent some jet boats, go to all the movies in Epcot again. Go to Pleasure Island, have Spa Time, oh so many things.....just can't decide. When we plan it.... you can bet all the details would be thought out very carefully.

Thanks, was planning on hitting the Comedy Warehouse! You always need a good laugh! DH and I are so looking forward to this trip, luckily we won't have to pick the kids up for two days after returning home, we'll be able to get some rest from our vacation before returning to normal life with the kids.

Re: If there was one thing you could do?

It sounds like you have a lot of wonderful extras in there already! We've done everything you listed & you made some great choices. Did you ever consider "Dining with an Imagineer?" It really is a neat experience in a nice dining environment & definately best for adults.

To answer your question, the ONE thing I wish DH & I could do in WDW that we've never done.... Hmm, that would be sleep in Cinderella's Castle! I know you have no control over that but wouldn't it be wonderful if you won!?!? Much pixie dust!
