Even the most avid Disney theme park fans are always looking for something new and different during their stays.  As much fun as Soarin' may be, by the 50th (or 150th) ride, the thrill isn't quite the same as it once was. 

One of the unsung diversions during a Disney Vacation Club stay is a visit to the resort Community Hall.  

Most--but not all--DVC resorts feature a Community Hall.  The Community Hall is an activity center where folks can find some entertainment outside of the Disney theme parks.  The target audience includes children and older family members who may wish to join in the fun.  Community Halls offer video games, board games, foosball, ping pong, art stations, Disney movies and TV presentations and a wide range of scheduled activities for various age groups.

Scheduled activities are also the norm for Disney Community Halls.  During this particular visit pillow case decorating was planned.

Many activites are offered for a nominal fee.  The pillow cases are priced at $6 each for DVC members and $7 for non-members.  Cast Members provide the pillowcases (many designs available), fabric markers and ample workspace.

Other Community Hall activities include ceramics, photo frames, Mickey tie die shirts, birdhouses and more.  Consult the resort activity schedule provided at check-in for details on when specific activities are offered.

While the theme parks will always be the primary draw for Disney trips, parents looking for a memorable vacation experience should consider a visit (or two, or three) to the resort Community Hall.  A custom ceramic bank or t-shirt created by your little Disney fan may just  provide more lasting memories than another spin on the teacups.

I've never stepped foot in any of the Community Halls....I've promised myself on my upcoming Kidani trip to see what they might have for adults and do something.

Now that DS is older I see us using this more. He can go play there with one of us while DD naps.

They even have pin trading board at the Community Hall. Here are nieces and their mom, doing some pin trading at BLT while waiting for their room to be ready.

Hmmm that sounds cool!

I am graduating school july 29th and to celebrate I am going on a cruise to alaska in september then on november 10th just a little while later im going to wdw for the wine & dine half marathon. I have been thinking about what to do at wdw during the time I will be there. I was thinking about getting seasonal or annual passes to wdw during that trip but I wouldnt have enough time to break even on the ticket during that year. This gives me a reason to go to wdw and stay atleast 1 more day and have something to do while relaxing.

We only use the community hall to rent movies and I am always amazed at the lack of selection or the number of copies available - unless I am understanding the system wrong, it seems like they only have one copy of each or, very rarely, two.:sick:
