Hello again, Angela! Welcome back to planDisney! I’m so excited you’re back once more and that I am able to answer another Walt Disney World Resort vacation question for you!
I’m so sorry to hear that your son missed out on his relaxation time! I’m a firm believer that rest and relaxation are incredibly important during any vacation but particularly during a trip to Walt Disney World Resort. Often times, Guests can plan incredibly busy days that are undeniably fun but also a bit exhausting at the same time. With this in mind, I have a few recommendations that may be perfect for your son and the rest of the family during your summer vacation!
Currently,
Walt Disney World Resort is in the initial phases of reopening and some experiences are unavailable at this time. While fitness centers at Disney Resort hotels are available,
spa and salon services are temporarily closed at the majority of resorts. However, there is one option on property that is current open and accepting reservations!
Mandara Spa at the
Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel is a full-service, luxury spa and salon that offers a wide variety of services that draw from various cultures around the world. These include multiple types of massages that are fully customizable based on the client’s specific wants and needs. Also, the Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel is only a short walk from your home base at Disney's Yacht Club Resort! It is important to note that your son will need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian during his visit but this does give the perfect opportunity for you to join him for your own journey into relaxation!
If your son is still looking for some down time after the spa, I also highly recommend planning an afternoon by the pool for the whole family! While
Disney’s Yacht Club Resort is known for the amazing aquatic playground that is Stormalong Bay, there are also
three other leisure pools across the resort. These are excellent options for Guests looking for a bit of quiet time. Additionally, each of the leisure pool areas also include whirlpool spas which are the perfect way to chill out after a long day in the parks!
Hopefully, this information will assist you in planning some well-deserved rest and recuperation for your son! Please don’t hesitate to reach out again with any other Walt Disney World Resort vacation questions you may have!
