Hence the Wine&Dine Half Marathon
I haven't heard of that - do you make wining and dining stops along the way or just at the end? Either way, amazing.
Re: Favorite people watching location
Just at the end. It starts at 10:00 pm at WWoS, goes down through AK, then comes back through HS, and ends at Epcot. Epcot has a special ticket event after party from 10:00 pm until 4:00 am for participants and their families/friends. All the FWF booths are open as are some attractions. The after party is a blast.kelpseaweedkelp wrote:Chuckus95 wrote:+1 for on top of Main St. Station.

This may sound crazy but I truly enjoyed the Rapunzel restroom area in the Magic Kingdom. Especially in the evening when the crowds get less hectic and take time to explore the surroundings and even dance to the music.

Re: Favorite people watching location
All the restrooms seem to have some sort of nice sitting and watching area by them - definitely doesn't sound crazy! There was some forum posts I saw where people were talking about getting more music from bathrooms all over, but nobody knew how to acquire it. I would listen to that channel all day. Bathroom music, yes please!MrPhil wrote:This may sound crazy but I truly enjoyed the Rapunzel restroom area in the Magic Kingdom.

Re: Favorite people watching location
Last time we visited, nearly every time we walked over the bridge from Main Street into Adventureland, we saw people sitting on the bench talking to each other, and crying. It must have been three separate occasions.Westclock wrote:Curious if others do this. I have spent a lot of time sitting in random locations and just people watching. One of my favorites is the benches by the Wishing well just east of Cinderella Castle.
I'd have to add just about any place in World Showcase once its late enough for the alcohol to kick in. :p
Where is your "I wanna sit and do nothing for a moment go to spot?
When we go back, I want to see if that spot continues to be the odd little bad-luck spot in the park.

(you know it is gone now right??)
A number of years back they had drained some of the moat (maybe when the castle was a pink cake? My years get mixed up) and you could see the tracks for the swan boats, so I kept asking when they would refurbish the boats and bring them back...well, no such luck. But I do, sort of, remember riding them when I was younger.

Re: Favorite people watching location
I wonder if we could locate a photo of that drained moat with the visible tracks? Looks like the boats were still in operation for my first trip, but closed by the time I returned. I don't think we ever went on themUncleScrooge477 wrote:A number of years back they had drained some of the moat (maybe when the castle was a pink cake?

Located this very interesting, and really in depth article about the attraction. There is a picture at the very end that shows a bit of the ride mechanism and the moat. Interesting to read...
