I just love this whole group. When Jeff was on the first time I was happy to keep seeing him and I used to wonder what happened to Panda. Derek is great with the knowledge and this show keeps getting better. Loved the cruise info too.
“On our honeymoon, they put us in a kayak without any instructions, pushed us out into the water, and yelled Teamwork!” … Seems like a metaphor for marriage.❤️😉
Enjoyable conversation again. BTW, as you Amy said she wanted to go horseback riding, I was standing next to my daughter’s horse cleaning up his turnout. 🐴💩😂
I can’t believe nobody mentioned the wonders of the lodge tour at Wilderness Lodge. Genuinely one of the most unique things you can do!
We rented a Pontoon boat a few weeks ago at the Grand Floridian, I’ve wanted to do it for years and finally got to. Not only was it a great way to spend the afternoon, it was fairly priced and they offer a 15% DVC discount.
Not a DVC member but this was a great episode for a frequent visitor. Thanks for your positive vibe!
Resort hopping on Skyliner in early December to see all the Christmas decorations at Boardwalk, Yacht and Beach Club, Rivera and Art of Animation. Just walking around the Art of Animation Resort was incredible.
Oh. You should add AKL, Wilderness, and the Monorail loop to your decoration viewing.
Unfortunately there were a bunch of really good activities that they stopped with COVID and never brought back. “Dining with an Imagineer”, “Highway in the Sky Dine Around”, and two backstage tours in EPCOT.
I remember those fries too, Jeff! I miss that actually.
There is a DVC Member night at Splitsville on Monday nights. It's $60/adult for an appetizer and meal per person and 2 hours of bowling. Great family night event at DS.
Also at the shades of green golf course their putting green is actually a 18 hole putting green you can start at 1 and play through all 18 holes on the green. You don’t have to be golfing to go over and do that so it is basically a free mini golf experience for putting. My husband and I have done it and we are planning on taking our kids next time for a free afternoon activity. (We do bring our clubs down though for golf anyway so I’m not sure how it would work if you didn’t have putters with you since it is on your own.)
Two weeks in a row…LEVER Paul alone! He does his best….i think.
Pre covid you used to be able to do a 30 minute culinary tour of Jiko and Boma at AKL at 4 in the afternoon. Not sure if this came back after covid or not.
I could just resort hop for a couple of days and not go in the parks and have a fabulous time looking at all of the different themeing!
please do a video showcasing all the kids playground areas and best water play areas at the DVC resorts
YES THIS IS THE EPISODE I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR! I literally have a Google doc titled "Non-Park Trip Itins" lol
We went down during Christmas 2022 and on Christmas EVE we did the night time Safari ride around Animal Kingdom Lodge. They even made sure they had an accessible lift to get my wife in her wheelchair up into the ride vehicle. It was also unusually cold that night and they provided blankets to use and night time vision device to look through. It was really cool to ride with the animal care team and learn about the different Savannahs around the resort and the different animals. We got to drive by the place where the animals go when its too cold for those that need it and even the Savanah where the animals go when they retire from being in the public. It was a really fun experience even with it being below freezing that night. They even told the tale of the river hogs and guests calling thinking there was construction going on late at night but it was only the hogs getting to excited with there new toy in the place they stay in the back part of the garage.
The aquacars at Disney Springs is a great time.
I went horseback riding at Fort Wilderness in 1999. My horse, Patches, had just been put on a diet! She kept taking side trips to all the shrubbery on the trail! I guess I wasn’t in control! 😂
LOL!
This was a great story. I feel like Patches is my spirit animal.

Do the Sangria University! You will love it! Me, hubby , stepdaughter and her hubby did this on Mothers Day and it was awesome. And it was $50pp so not as expensive as you think. It was worth it
Thanks for this video discussion. We have been DVC Members since 2007. We have points we need to use but didn’t want to fork out the $ to go to the parks this year. We decided to book 3 nights at Beach Club and then 3 nights at Copper Creek. We will going in July (which is another reason for visiting the parks… 🥵.). We are looking forward to just relaxing at each resort and doing all the things we are normally too tired to do.
I got to go on the Grand One! It was so much fun. My boss paid for all of the staff to have a cruise on it. ❤
One of my favorite off day things to do is ride the sassagoula boats Get a coffee eat some beignets, see the Hôtels. Maybe have lunch at the springs. Then trek back to OKW.
The marshes of Wildwood are the worst. Welcome Home 😅
It's not outside the parks (located in MK), but A Pirates Adventure - Treasure of the Seven Seas is a great FREE activity that will provide you many FREE souvenir maps and cards.
Love the show great ideas we loved Key to the kingdom
Also sleigh rides at Wilderness lodge
Great topic!! Thank you for posting!
Resort Day, especially with kids. The cast members do a great job with poolside activities, there is always a quick service restaurant and bar nearby, and you can end your day typically with s’mores by the campfire and an outdoor movie. Raining, no problem! Most resorts have an arcade and some type of crafts and indoor activities.
I am literally taking notes. All this stuff sounds like so much fun! But that boat ride on Seven Seas Lagoon sounds absolutely amazing! We love new ideas for resort days!
One of your best talks. Will consider some the advice over our next visit during St Patrick’s day. Raglan Road or bust.
Derek, we are also taking a pontoon boat out when we’re there in March. We’ve been wanting to do this for a while. Hoping the weather cooperates!
Another Great Show ❤ thank you!!!
This is kind of how I lured my husband into loving Disney! And thankfully we got to do it before COVID since what he and my son really loved was renting the two people sea raycers out on 7 seas lagoon. Unfortunately they never brought those back. But before we ever entered the parks (which I knew he wasn't looking forward to), I booked a whole day of mini golf and boat rentals and good food at Disney Springs. From there on out I had us at Yacht club where he could enjoy the pool. On subsequent trips we have done the monorail crawl, the skyliner crawl and I am planning for the foot golf at oak trail this year! I've also told him I want to do the segway tour at Fort Wilderness!
Great video guys. As someone who visits from Idaho I can't imagine imagine using one of my vacation days to go watch a movie at Disney springs or some of the outdoor things you suggest. I do love the suggestions though and there were definitely some ideas that I loved.
My poor hubby was so excited to hear about golfing right up until Jeff says, “don’t go in the woods; there are things in there that’ll kill ya.” So yeah… mini golfing it is. LOL
I can and will second third and fourth the Dive Quest experience. This is a must do. The looks on the kids faces looking into the aquarium is priceless. I remember doing this tour when all you got was a T-shirt and you could buy the dvd of your dive. They also had the old dive bell (just rotting out back of the aquarium) that you swam into and took your mask and regulator off to wave to the camera guy. You can bring your own personal mask and I suggest you do that.
The fireworks cruise and renting the boat are fantastic. Grab lunch from your favorite QS and head out on your own pontoon boat over to the shoe tree....I have to agree with Derek on this one for sure
The free tour over at Wilderness lodge is a good way to spend an hour with Jack. You meet at the fireplace at 9am. You will learn some history about Walt and the Wilderness Lodge. He has some good information and some easter eggs.
The Segway tour at Fort Wilderness is a good one. The Segways are the 4 wheel drive versions. Wear cushioned shoes. I miss the EPCOT Segway tour.
I would love to do the Steam train tour.
The KTTKT and BSM tour were fantastic.
I am sure I will think of more to do once I hit send on this comment
Great show 🤩
Loved this episode. Derek I did the boat on 7 seas with my nephew. It was amazing. Amy, Paul, Jeff thanks for the tips for Wilderness Lodge. Can’t wait to try some out when I am there next.
Sangria University is so much fun! I highly recommend doing this sometime.
I'm trying to do something new, each trip. I love the behind the scenes tours. Still on my list is swimming with the dolphins. Will get to it one day I hope. There are a few tours that didn't return that I was hoping to try, like the Undiscovered Country ( I think that was the name) in EPCOT.
Many a vacation in recent years we have elected to skip the parks altogether. There is plenty to do just at the resorts and Disney Springs to take up your time on vacation. We would often rent the “mouse boats” or whatever they’re called now. Being that we used to live in the area, we know there’s also a ton of things to do nearby. You can also do day trips to Cape Canaveral or to the Hard Rock in Tampa.
At the resorts, there’s the pools and restaurants. Many also have tennis courts. The Beach Club has a volleyball court. Heck, you could even spend a day resort hopping.
Plenty of outdoor activities to do, in the cooler months (November-March). There’s also the resorts outside of Disney World/Disneyland, like Aulani, Vero Beach, and Hilton Head Island. We have yet to stay at Aulani, but it’s on the list.
Since we always have a car, options are expanded. If you don’t have a car, still plenty to do without leaving property or going to a theme park.
Rent DVD’s at hotel, Pool table at select resorts.
What happened to Derek’s tiki man lamp
Sorry for so many comments. In the imagination pavilion after you get off the ride , you can put your face on all those goofy pictures for free. It’s never busy and the cast members put your heads on those pictures and it is hilarious. We must have spent 30 min there swapping around. And it’s free unless you want to take one home printed out. So much fun
Sangria U then Mini golf
Cake decorating at Amorettes
Great show today! I had a few minutes and put together a quick "Word of DVC" animation. Emailed it over. If you don't use it no worries. Thanks guys
They're not real beignets,though. They're fried croissants
The beignets at Port Orleans are real beignets - signed native Louisianaiana
I wanted to do the pontoon boat at VGF and no one wanted to go with me
Had the biegnets in MK. Not great at all. Nothing like French Quarter.
we play the games by the pools - ping pong, etc. I took my kids to sail the little two person boats at the Contemporary years ago. are they still available? I plan to take my granddaughters to have a pony ride this next trip
Movies under the stars and s’mores, lounges.
I agree about the fries- they are so bad at the Disneyworld!!
You don't need a park ticket to scuba dive at Epcot. Just pay for divequest.
we honeymooned at Dixie Landings May 1997💜💚
Make Mickey Tye Dyed shirts in Community Hall.
I know you guys are all busier than busy, but would you be willing to put a list of al.these little unlised or unknown activities on the website?
Hi Dee, we’ve got you covered: dvcfan.com/2023/12/19/guide-to-experiencing-disney-world-outside-the-parks/?amp=1
@@DVCFan Thank you! I posted this comment just before Amy mentioned the article lol
Rent a cabana at the pool or go to water parks.
Amy, that was a huge yawn to start the show. 😂
😂 I know, right? He didn’t tell me he was recording lol.
@@DVCFanjust get him back. I’m sure you’ll find a way.
You guys need to dress like a love boat crew. Please !
Take Amphicar from Disney Springs, take Hot Air Ball.oon
