If you have any downtime outside of the parks planned - like a resort-only day, hanging out at a resort Community Hall for a few hours for an afternoon break, or even if you’re stuck inside on a rainy day - one of the top go-to activities is ceramic painting! Ceramic painting is available at any Community Hall, every single day from 10:00 AM-10:00 PM.

Disney Vacation Club’s Community Halls are popular spaces meant for relaxing activities such as crafting, painting, and playing games. But did you know that there are a couple of other similar locations on Disney property that fall a little short of the “Community Hall” designation?

Valentine’s Day is a fun holiday at Walt Disney World resorts! Disney treats it as a minor holiday, so not all of the resorts host special Valentine’s Day activities, but I was able to visit some resorts this year that had some cute activities scheduled. The Deluxe resorts and Fort Wilderness are really the best places to be - most of them had something fun planned and offered some unique activities!

The Frank W. Eahlers Community Hall at Disney’s BoardWalk Villas is the perfect place to spend some time on a rainy day, before your room is ready on arrival day or after you’ve checked out on departure day, or if you just need a quiet place to relax and escape the park crowds.

Disney’s Riviera Resort is packed with classic Disney art, and now guests have the chance to create their own works of art with the Paint Your Own Animation Cel activity!

Animal Kingdom Lodge is a one-of-a-kind resort, and you can always count on them to provide incredibly unique ways to celebrate every holiday! Their long-standing Easter tradition allows guests to paint real ostrich eggs for Easter, and I was lucky enough to join in this year!

Here’s a new reason to visit Polynesian Village! Their “Paint a Tiki Mask” activity is a wonderful way to spend the afternoon hanging out by the beautiful Seven Seas Lagoon!

I recently experienced the Once Upon a Painting activity at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, and there truly has never been a more fitting activity for a Magic Kingdom area resort. It doesn’t get much better than painting a castle, with a view of a castle! This activity is held every Monday and Friday from 12:30-2:30PM inside the California Grill restaurant.
