Hey ghostfans!

I'm going to WDW in 13 days, and I"m interested in surprising my wife and (shudder) mother in law with a little getaway just for them.

I'm thinking spa treatments or something, but am looking for any relaxing ideas.

What do you suggest? Have any costs or info?

There is the Free option for the Electrical Water pAgent. If your going to a spa, go to Saratoga Springs. Make a reservation at Victoria and Alberts or Jiko

I think spa treatments are a great way to go! I have heard the Mandara Spa at the Dolphin is excellent.

Here's a link to a pdf for the various spa treatments available at Saratoga Springs. Its my understanding that the spa pricing and offerings are rather consistent at Saratoga and Grand Floridian so if you would prefer one location over another I'd use this as a general guide to options and pricing.

I treat myself to cut and dry at the Grand Floridian's Ivy Trellis. I've had too many hair at inexpensive hair salons so its an area of my life where I tend to splurge out of fear. I enjoy my visits to the Ivy Trellis -- the music of the Grand Floridian band or piano player drifts in.

Another idea that's relaxing but wouldn't be just the two of them is renting a pontoon boat and grabbing some snacks from the hotel's grab and go. You could be their driver and they could just sit out on the front of the boat enjoying the wind and sun while you cruise around the Seven Seas Lagoon and Bay Lake. A boat rental is $42 per half hour (tax included)

Another idea is the Grand Floridian Afternoon Tea. Its served in the early afternoon in the beautiful Garden Tea Lounge. A lovely setting with delightful service. It is a more affordable price range ($15 - 36 per person) if budget is a concern but provides a nice break from the hustle bustle of the theme parks. I'm sad to say I've never actually taken part in it myself but your post reminded me that I need to put it on my list of items to explore.


I hope that helps.

Rebekah.

Actually I should have said listed more spas...
There are also spa facilities at the Contemporary Resort, Yacht and Beach Club, Coronado Springs and Dolphin. You don't have to be a guest at the resort to book a spa treatment.
All times are Pacific Time (US)
