Time for REST

Believe me.  I see people just like the person in this picture all across the parks within WDW when I visit.  They are so afraid of missing something that they push themselves past the exhaustion point and actually fall asleep in public areas within the park.  Don't be this person!  This is not fun and will cause you and the one you care for to be miserable.

For years people did not believe me when I would say that going to WDW was relaxing and enjoyable for my family.  They only knew an experience of go, go, go and then go some more til everyone was frustrated and in a horrible mood!  Not us.  We couldn't.  My husband had to move at a slower pace and take multiple breaks throughout the day.

One thing we began on our first trip and continued for each one was the idea of afternoon breaks back at the resort.  We would go to a park when it opened, ride our FastPass rides, grab a bite for lunch and then around 2pm head to the resort.  As the bulk of the crowds were coming in we were leaving.

We would go back to our room and rest even if we didn't sleep.  Sometimes I would take our daughter to the pool while my husband rested.  Later after freshening up, we would head to dinner.  If we felt like it, we would often go to a park for a few more hours at night.  At the same time if we didn't that was perfectly fine, too.

Remember this is VACATION!  It is a time for rest and fun!
