Title: More benches in the parks?
Post by: Bettan on August 09, 2010, 08:33:43 AM
I think there is a lack of benches in the parks and in Disneyvillage. Do you agree? At least I would like to have a place to just sit down for a few minutes and just look at people. But often I don't find anyplace to sit. What do you think abuout that?

I find there are plenty of benches in Disneyland Park, in really great locations too, so if you want to relax for a bit somewhere quiet then you're in luck! I agree that there aren't as many in WDS or Disney Village though, there needs to be more I feel.

Well, you're in luck. The Paris area adjacent to Toy Story Playland came with a slew of them.

We can always find a beautiful spot to sit down and have a rest in the Disneyland park, however it isn't quite the same story in the studios. I love the look of the new benches down the Parisian street.

Thank you for your answers! The new area looks fine with a lot of benches.

Here's the best place in Disneyland park to sit! Behind the shooting gallery next to BTM is a little alley and if you go down it you willl find a bench overlooking Rivers of America and BTM I have always found it empty even on the busiest of days! It probably won't be now I've posted this though!

Hey now that you mention it I remember this place. Found it on our first visit back in 1998. Very hidden, indeed. Got to remember it in september  :D  Thanks.

Not so hidden seating!

The pathways between Frontierland Fort entrance leading to Agrabah have lovely, well covered peaceful places to sit.
This passageway also branches off towards Hakuna Matata and takes you past the stream which is lovely during hot summer days for cooling you off.

We love nothing better than to wander through Adventureland at night, find a bench and watch the world go by.

I suppose they didn't put much seating down in DS because of the parades and mini shows. There needs to be more seating put near Crush's Coaster, more for the grand parents or expectant mothers who can't go on the fast rides but want to wait nearby for their families.

But the DS are getting better and there is plenty of seating inside what with the restaurants.
