Best Adult and Getaway Areas in WDW

Tune In Lounge and La Cava off the top of my head. I also like exploring the indoor exhibits (not shops) at the World Showcase. For example, the Stave Church (Norway), Mexico Folk Art Gallery, House of the Whispering Willows (China), etc. all tend to be pretty quite.

Ditto what Allie said about the WS exhibits. And they're air conditioned too!

The boats on Bay Lake that go between WL, FW, and CR are really nice at night. They're generally almost to totally empty later in the evening. And if the Electrical Water Pageant is going by, the boat will stop and wait for it, giving you a different perspective.

We love all of the little nooks and crannies of the Morocco pavilion too.

ME too! The breeze is great.

DTD at night can be pretty romantic when things start to clear out more.
Tom Sawyer Island has some great quiet spots, even in the middle of the day.

Then there are all the places at the resorts. If you're staying at CBR the little paths on Caribbean Cay lead to two seater swing overlooking the water. The beaches are usually pretty isolated too. I'm sure each resort has their own spots.

It's definitely not quiet, but I've never seen a child in Jelly Rolls or Atlantic Dance Hall.

I love the People Mover, Spaceship Earth, and Carousel of Progress and I think this might be part of the reason!! I also agree that there are some great adult spots around WS in Epcot as well.

Another place that gets you out of the hustle and bustle is the second floor dining area of Columbia Harbor House. I don't know that I would consider this "adult", but the last couple times I was there during very heavy crowds and this was our respite! Great for people watching, you can eat your fish and chips (sans alcohol...) and look down at the swarming MK masses from your comfortable, dining nook

Ok 1,2, and 3 are like my favorite rides as well as 7 although the last couple of times I have been the Carousel has been down for refurbishments. So far the only thing that is down for refurb while we are there is It's a Small World but I think my fiance is not too upset about that

And number 9 is one of my favorite things to do. When I was little, the first time I went to WDW we stayed at the Polynesian and we ended up getting a mega room upgrade because they were refurbing some of the rooms and painting the room we were supposed to stay ended up being refurb! So they upgraded us to this whole house type thing. It was huge and had a huge full kitchen and VCR and huge full living room. Anyways, me and my grandpa would just go and ride the monorail we would just ride it around and sometimes we would get off and go into the different resorts and check them out. So it is always a tradition now to ride the monorail in a huge loop at least once while we are there.

I think it says it while you ride it now, but did you know that the people mover is run on magnets? I find this fascinating. This has another story for me too. Again with the fist time we went my grandmother and I don't ride rollercoasters (at least I didn't when I was 7) So we hung out on the people mover and just went round and around while my grandpa and my uncle went on Space Mountain. So I always love that ride. It is a nice relaxing place and a lot of people find it "boring" or don't even know what it is so the don't go on it. I always find it relaxing, quite and not crowded and when it picks up pace its always a good cool breeze.

I also think that "Resort Hopping" is fun and not crowded. Me and my grandpa used to do this to check out all the resorts. We would either get in the car and drive to them or we would hop on the bus, boat, or monorail. It is always fun to check out the resorts and how beautiful they are. And a lot of people are either in their rooms or in the parks so the lobbies are usually empty and laid back.

I also find that the pavilions at the countries are never that busy. I love the Mexico one and the boat ride, which I feel like not a lot of people know about.

I know there is a bunch more but I am having a mini brain fart right now I will have to return when I think of others.

Mizners Lounge in GF is usually sans kids. The wine bar at Tutto Gusto can be a nice hideaway in the evening. There is a little patio to the left of the Rose and Crown that is often not very crowded. Great place to be outside, watch people on one side the the lake on the other.

So many great suggestions!

For DVC members the Top of The World Lounge is a wonderful retreat too.

The ferry from DTD to PO Riverside can be a very romantic ride depending on the time of day. One evening we were the only people on the ferry and there were thunderstorms out over the Gulf which gave us a wonderful, natural light show! The grounds of both PO resorts are lovely to walk through.
