Depends what u like to do. One trip we stayed 2 nights and didn't leave the property and were very busy and didn't get to do all we wanted. My kids were older and very active though. Also all our trips were pre covid. We spent time trying the various watersports - my DD loved the aquabike and also wanted us all to paddleboat. Then we had to try out the SUPs and I wanted some time kayaking and canoeing.

Chatted with the parrot, played poolside games to win prizes (incl tokens to the arcade so we went there to play), went swimming and hot tubbing (small pool is heated, big pool is chilly but fun), went up the climbing wall, took out the surrey bike, played pitch and putt golf, rode bikes to the tennis courts, ran out of time to try the driving range or play tennis. Also fit in evening strolls around the pretty grounds. Spent some time in the gym, then more swimming. We made very good use of the property amenities LOL! If you get bored, there is (at least there used to be) a free shuttle to the Outlet Mall.

That said, we are Disney geeks and made sure to fit in Disney time later in the trip.
