4. Adult nightlife

Jellyrolls

Though most of the Pleasure Island buildings are now closed, there are still options available for fun entertainment after dark at Disney World. Jellyrolls is a popular piano bar in the Boardwalk area. This area also has the Atlantic Dance Hall, which plays music from recent (and not so recent) decades.

You can still find adult nightlife options at Downtown Disney (soon to be Disney Springs), too. Raglan Road allows kids, but the after dark entertainment is better suited for an adult crowd. After dinner hours, it’s more of a bar than a restaurant, anyway. Paradiso 37 is also at Downtown Disney, and kids are welcome here, too. However, it’s another location that offers loud music and drinks, so you might feel more comfortable in an adults-only group after dinnertime.

5. Spa treatments

Senses Spa

If your Disney World vacation isn’t relaxing enough for your aching muscles, there are many spas available on Disney World property. Obviously, this isn’t a great option for young kids, though some teens might enjoy a massage or manicure.

You can book a facial, massage, manicure, pedicure, etc. at several different locations, including Senses at the Grand Floridian or Senses Spa at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort.

6. The Premium and Platinum Dining Plans

Most Disney visitors know about the Disney Dining Plan; the Quick Service, Regular, and Deluxe Plans are the most popular choices. However, there are two more options available—the Premium and Platinum Dining Plans.

As of 2015, these plans offer guests three meals per day (either Quick Service or Table Service), two snacks per day, and a refillable drink mug. One reason I don’t recommend these plans for children is because this is a ton of food for anyone, but kids are especially unlikely to use all these credits.

However, the additional perks of these packages are even less beneficial for children. Each one includes an array of extra activities, and many of these options are best enjoyed by adults. The options offered each year vary, and of course the Platinum Plan has more activities than the Premium one. Some items include the backstage tours and spa services mentioned earlier, as well as golf, the Richard Petty experience, and Cirque du Soleil.

Most of these entertainment options aren’t really ideal for children (though some are), so it simply doesn’t make much sense financially to splurge on either of these Dining Plans for those who are too young to enjoy them. For adults, though, they can really take a special trip up a notch or two.

If you want to try anything on this list but will have children in your party, there are baby-sitting options available at Disney World, too. Disney has a collaboration with caregiving company Kid’s Nite Out, which sends a childcare provider directly to your room for the evening. There are also Children’s Activity Centers at select resorts, though their hours vary. Though Disney World vacations are often all about family, it can be nice to get some space to yourself for a while. Next time you’d like a little adults only entertainment, tick one of these options off your bucket list.
