Either of two would be nice for me; Savannah view or a view into the Living Seas aquarium (e.g. VIP Loung or Coral Reef Resteraunt).

While the savanna view is nice, I think I'd prefer to be in my hammock on the beach at the Polynesian watching the fireworks at MK.

That experience was one of the most relaxing of my life. It took a lot of convincing to get me out of the hammock too!

Had to ponder this one for a while. I think my preferred view would be looking out over Frontierland and Liberty Square, from the perspective of Tom Sawyer Island. Though it's a very close race between that and seeing Epcot and SSE every morning. Maybe that could be the view from the back of the house. :mrgreen:

My husband proposed to me in the Moroccan pavilian and I'd love to wake up every morning to see that spot..whenever we go we recreate that moment in front of the fountain

My favorite is a room at the Polynesian in Hawaii, one of the MK view rooms, to wake up in the morning and open your curtains and see MK and the beach and hear the boat horns, it's wonderful! My most favorite!

I'm not sure if I could pick just 1 as I would have multiple ideas for each park.

I'll stick with the Magic Kingdom as it would be a toss up between the Train Station on Main Street OR the Haunted Mansion!

Oh the choices....

hmm... so many great spots to choose from... but i would love to be sitting on a bench with my 3 year old daughter and new fiance (woohoo!) under a nice shade tree in frontierland looking across the river at tom sawyer's island...with big thunder to the left of me and the haunted mansion to the right... with the distant sounds of the steamboat whistle as it makes its way back to the liberty square dock... ok...i'm gonna go have a good cry now.... :(

I'm with discomouse...I'm off to cry now...

Hi again. I know it might sound a bit pretensious, but I always find myself heading for the small porch next to the Market House on Main Street in DL. Especially if it's a not-too-hot summer's day and I'm eating an ice cream from the parlor across the street; just relaxin' and literally "people watching". Although I've yet to be able to get a seat there for a parade, that would make it perfect!

On a side note; if I'm at MK the best spot for me is on the deck of the ferry crossing the lake to the front entrance. Almost as if you are literally "leaving the world behind" and escaping for awhile, (which I think is the idea, right?). Well, until later, peace.

I'd have to agree with the post of waking up on the train station looking down Main St. with the castle at the end of the view :D

I love the view from a rocking chair on the porch of the Trails End Buffet at Fort Wilderness.

In Disneyland I love sitting at the hub and people watch, or do it over in New Orleans Square in the little courtyard with the fountains by Haunted Mansion.

In Walt Disney World I like to hang out:
EPCOT: In Germany Watching the trains almost hit the geckos, hilarious!

MK: sitting at the Hub again. I don't know I just love the hub.

MGM: Don't really have a place that I frequent here but if I did I would probably hang around in The New York area - better than the real one (no responses)

AK: I don't have one that I would go out of my way to be at but, I like hanging around the exit for EE(had to spend a few minutes there waiting for JS to get off of it).

Favorite Overall Place:
Balcony of Boardwalk looking out at Epcot and SSE.

By Park (in order of Park preference):
Epcot:
SSE or JII (even the current one at leasts sparks memories of times long ago)
Illuminations Viewing from anywhere it's visible

MK:
COP and Tomorrowland in general

AK:
Everest

Others:
Dining:
Chef Mickey's to watch the interactions with the many characters

To have some quiet time and reflect:
Walking path from MGM to Boardwalk

To watch my daughter:
Any character interaction - she LOVES Minnie (though calls her Mickey :mickey: )
