Best Kept Secrets?

I voted for TTA just for the quiet relaxation of it. And the sites... it's been stated over and over but it is never enough. To ride it in day and at night are both two great relaxations. And a lot of people won't ride it because it doesn't "do anything" or because they have schedules.

But there are so many other things. What about the walk from the Contemporary right to Dw. Or the walk from MGM to The Swan and Dolphin? I belive this pathway goes somewhere else but can't remember right now and we just walked it not to long ago.

Also, what about the Riverboat that goes around Tom Sawyer Island. Try riding it on the last launch right as the sun is starting to set. Beautiful and relaxing. A lot of cute and funny sites as well.

Lastly, I don't know how the Vacation club can be considered a secret seeing as it's plastered EVERYWHERE. In fact I'm kind of tired of looking up and seeing this "Secret".

I think including the DVC on this poll was a tongue-in-cheek nod to Disney's own "Have you heard the best-kept Disney secret?" marketing campaign.

You are indeed correct, sir.

As to TTA being on the map, that's true, but even then it's a little hidden away with that non-flashy conveyor belt going up. I don't recall there being any big signs or anything like that either. I seriously think 1/2 the people who get on the moving walkway are anticipating walking onto the Astro Orbiter at the top. Plus I don't think people realize you get views of other rides and some material only viewable from the TTA i.e. Walt's original design model of EPCOT Center, and some of the goofy stuff like the insant hair helmet thing.

I think DisneyQuest is the best kept secret because barely anyone is there and not many people know about it even with all the advertisment they do on it

The walkways are also one of the best kept secrets. We just returned from a four day Disney vacation and found a walk way that connected Board Walk not only to EPCOT, but you can take this walk way all the way to MGM. And the Polynesian, which is also on the way, also has a walk way that connects to the Grand Floridian!

These walkways are romantic, secretive, and very quiet. For people like my wife and I who love to go on scenic walks, these are pure treasures.

Wow, that's a good one, Blackie. I didn't know you could walk to the MGM from the Boardwalk and I even stayed there once!

I believe the water pageant canal prevents you from walking from The Big White Barn to the MK, but you can easily walk from the Contemporary. Not very scenic, but actually faster than the monorail, which goes in the other direction around the lake.

That reminds me of another. Rent a canopy boat at the Yacht Club dock. My wife and I did that on our last trip - they're much more cozy than the zippy water mice. Plus you can drive all the way over to the MGM entrance on the same waterway. We were sooo tempted to pick up some guests and shuttle them to Epcot!

Yes, my mom and I walked from the Studios to the Yacht and Beach Club for breakfast once! It was one of my suprises to her to have the character breakfast there, and we had a wonderful time walking so early in the morning.
