There comes a point in every Disneyland trip when it doesn't matter whether you're old or young, have kids or not; you must find a place to relax and you must do it... NOW!
Maybe you're suffering from heat exhaustion or nursing a wicked bad blister. Maybe you're wanting to eat your packed lunch in solitude or you just want to get away from your whining grandkids. In any case, today I'm sharing with you the Top 10 Best Places to Rest Your Rump at Disneyland.
#1: One of the best meeting spots in Disneyland is The Hub. It's in the center of the park and there are a lot of benches available. The best spot in that section to sit is towards the right near Tomorrowland. Not only does it have plenty of room for large parties to eat, or rest your feet, it's right next to a garbage can and is facing the castle. It's a great place to have one of your party sit and save spots for an upcoming parade: Prime real estate come parade or fireworks watching time. It's also central to all the food vendors on main street and great for people watching; a perfect place to send Grandpa when he's tired.
#2: If you find yourself in Fantasyland, a great place to park it is near the Small World giftshop. Located right next to the bathrooms is a nice little brick wall that's perfect for a bathroom or snack break. It's shade provides relaxation while you sit and wait outside the ampitheater for shows like "Mickey's Magical Map". It gives you the advantage over other waiting people as you can relax that hiney of yours and swoop in at the opportune time when they open up seating for an event. It's also conveniently near a train depot stop in case you want to continue calming your caboose with a nice leisurely train ride.
#3: "I'm in Fantasyland but I don't want to go all the way back to Small World!" Have no fear, another spot in a tucked away corner is near the exit of Sleeping Beauty's castle walkthrough. Located just steps to your right as you're entering the footbridge of the castle, this is a wonderful little nook for a quick rest. Across the way is the Bippity Boppity Boo Boutique where your little princess can shop till she drops. There are also some drinking fountains nearby and you can enjoy the ambience of the castle. But there's not a lot of sitting room and high traffic so it's really just a quick resting place until you regain your energy. Editor's Note: If you have misbehaving little ones, it's also a wonderful spot for a time-out.
#4: Finding rest for your weary derrier can be tricky in Toontown. It's often crowded and can be unforgiveably hot. I suggest resting your rear at the entrance to Toontown, where there are plenty of park benches. It's a great place to keep the little ones while the older ones hit up the Roger Rabbit ride.
#5: Now you're in Tomorrowland and your desperate for a behind break. I suggest the park benches directly across from the Star Wars giftshop. It's near a few vendors selling refreshements, close to the foodcourt area and it is right at the center of Tomorrowland. This basically means it's where rides like Star Tours, Space Mountain, Captain EO and Buzz Lightyear all feed out of, so if you're meeting a party that has split up to conquer Tomorrowland, this is a great place to sit.
#6: Now let's hightail that hiney to the French Quarter where Disney favorites like Pirates of the Caribbean and The Haunted Mansion are. Right near the train depot is a lovely little brick wall that overlooks the French Market restaurant. It's shaded and you can enjoy some live jazz music most days. It's a great stop off if you've just gotten off the train but you're not quite ready to conquer New Orleans Square.
#7: If you find yourself in Critter Country, have no fear. Rest your tired tuckus at the second level seated diningroom of the Hungry Bear Restaurant. You don't have to be eating to enjoy a shaded, peaceful area with a lovely view of the river and Mark Twain's riverboat every now and then. Not to mention it's right by a water fountain and bathrooms. Heck, you could camp out there all afternoon.

#8: My favorite spot is located at the back of the park next to Goofy's Sky School in Paradise Pier. It's a tucked away, shaded by an awning place full of tables. It's a wonderful getaway spot to eat a packed lunch, or try out the Corndog Castle restaurant just steps away while you're being entertained by one of the many unique live bands playing on the small stage. There's also bathrooms and an outlet if you're like me and have absolutely depleated the battery life of your phone.
#9: Fischerman's Warf in Paradise Pier is also a great spot to relax that rump of yours. Full of lots of benches, next to bathrooms and also smack dab in the middle of some amazing places to eat, it's a prime location for if your fatigued fanny is famished.
#10:Carsland is a spot you could spend half the day in, but where do you park your posterier? Right next to Flo's V8 and directly across the street from the Cozy Cone, is a fantastic little shaded area with benches to spare. It's got bathrooms and waterfountains and is conveniently next to the main Carsland street so you won't miss when Tomater or Lightning McQueen drive down. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the Motown music that's sure to keep you in a great mood.
