10 Things to Do on a Day Off From the Parks

8. Ride a surrey bike.

Think of these bikes as bicycles built for two. Or four. Or six. Surrey bikes are available to rent at Disney’s Boardwalk. And after you take a leisurely surrey bike ride with the family, head to Trattoria al Forno at the Boardwalk for some amazing Italian comfort food. If you don’t happen to be at the Boardwalk, you can also rent surrey bikes at some of Disney’s Resort hotels. If you’re not sure if your hotel has them, just ask at the hotel’s front desk. If your hotel doesn’t have them, the Cast Member at your hotel can help you find the nearest place to rent one.

9. Take a round-trip ride on the monorail.

It won’t cost you a park ticket to hop aboard the monorail. And sometimes it’s more fun to ride when you’re not racing to Magic Kingdom or EPCOT so you don’t miss a FastPass+ time or a dining reservation. It can be both fun and relaxing to board a train, sit back and take in the sights all around you!

10. Resort hop.

Whether you’re staying on Disney property or off Disney property during your vacation, it’s so much fun to go resort hopping—stopping in to different Disney Resort hotels and taking in all the decorations and theming, doing some pin trading, and even stopping for lunch or dinner in a resort hotel restaurant. During the Christmas holidays, the resorts are dressed in their holiday best, and resort hopping is also at its best. And no ticket is required!
