Yes! The Tri Circle D ranch horses at Ft Wilderness are lovely. And you can rent bikes or hire a boat to do catch-and-release guided bass fishing from Wilderness Lodge. My CM cousin's husband is one of the fishing "captains" at Wilderness. He was formerly the "captain" of the Liberty Belle Riverboat in Liberty Square at MK.Archery and horseback riding at Ft. Wilderness.
I have a resort day and lay by the pool then end the day with something special like dinner at another resort to explore like AKL, dinner at disney springs, Hoop Dee Doo..always easier on a non Park day, or Drawn to Life There is entertainment some times of the year at Disney Springs. I also plan any parties on rest days to recharge before an eve of MVMCP, etc.Hey everyone! Long time no chat! Finally making our next trip happen in 2023! My wife & I are trying to find a happy balance in what we're looking for in this trip and so I'm trying to respect her desire to not spend every waking moment inside a Disney Park, lol Ostensibly on off-days we'll be recharging for the next day in the park. We'll be staying at Old Key West resort. While I respect the notion of spending all day running ourselves ragged trying to do everything at the parks, I also know I and our daughter will start to want to do SOMETHING besides just hang around the resort all day.
Wondering if people had some suggestions for non-Disney park activities nearby that are a little less amusement park themed. For example, she sent me a link to a manatee tour "relatively" nearby.
If there's a pre-compiled list out there (I did a search on the site but didn't come up with anything) I apologize and please feel free to correct me and I can pull this post.
We're going to be there in the end of January, so the pool is unlikely to be a viable option. This was our original plan until we were like, "OH RIGHT! JANUARY IS NOT WARM WEATHER!"I have a resort day and lay by the pool then end the day with something special like dinner at another resort to explore like AKL, dinner at disney springs, Hoop Dee Doo..always easier on a non Park day, or Drawn to Life There is entertainment some times of the year at Disney Springs.

70's is the average with some 80s kow anf then. Warm enough for me!We're going to be there in the end of January, so the pool is unlikely to be a viable option. This was our original plan until we were like, "OH RIGHT! JANUARY IS NOT WARM WEATHER!"
That's fair, and it might be warm enough for our daughter too, especially if the pool is heated (Note to self: look into if the pools are heated at OKW!) But DW & I generally prefer it to be warmer, but either way, you make a good point!70's is the average with some 80s kow anf then. Warm enough for me!
I like to swim a bit but primarily lounge by the pool in the sun with a nice beverage!That's fair, and it might be warm enough for our daughter too, especially if the pool is heated (Note to self: look into if the pools are heated at OKW!)

All pools at Disney resorts and water parks are heated. We've swam often in January.That's fair, and it might be warm enough for our daughter too, especially if the pool is heated (Note to self: look into if the pools are heated at OKW!)

Sorry, 4p?One of the first things we discovered when we finally spent a day at the pool is the 4p family activities. I guess we were always in the parks or getting ready to go to the parks at 4p. Our other 'surprise' was the evening performers at Disney Springs, along with bowling (reserve!), free chocolate sample at Ghirardelli's, Irish performs at Raglan Road, and the balloon. The Boathouse has vintage boats along the pier and the amphibious car rides. The Springs usually have a type of scavenger hunt - maybe some else here would know more about that - which is usually seasonal related.
There's also a open mini golf (? Winterland) at the closed Blizzard Beach along with two types of mini golf beyond the Reserve.
I think they mean 4pm activities at the resorts.Sorry, 4p?
Drive over to Jetty Park in Cape Canaveral and spend the at the beach. It's really nice and you might see a ship or two leaving Port Canaveral.
Swimming is always a possibility. We always go Jan-Feb (from Canada)We're going to be there in the end of January, so the pool is unlikely to be a viable option. This was our original plan until we were like, "OH RIGHT! JANUARY IS NOT WARM WEATHER!"
