Disney days...


Our first day at Disney was actually Saturday night, we got to Orlando early and checked into our condo. (which by the way was SO amazing!) It was townhouse style but bigger, had 4 bedrooms, 3 up one down, 3 bathrooms, marble countertops, tile floors, nice NICE big beds and comfy bedlinens. It was just perfect, honestly! I wanted to move in permanently! It was located only about 10 minutes from the parks... but hidden in a little suburbia just inside city limits.


So the night we got there, we decided we better get our park tickets, so we headed to Downtown Disney, the shopping mecca of the parklands... all kinds of wonderful stores, restraunts and just a taste of what we would see when we got into the parks. As with most things Disney, this shopping mall (think promenade style) was very eclectic, and had a wide range of things to look at... from Ghiardelli chocolates (smelled divine) and coffee shops, little boutiques for clothes, kitchenwares, and lots of "kid" stores related to toys and Disney souveniers, but like most, were not cheapie type things, these were cool.










We walked around and oohed and ahed at all the christmas decor, all the "disney-ed" up stores the way only they can do it... and shopped just a bit

Legoland was a big hit with the kids and we thought that some of the creations were just amazing.. built with LEGOS!

We went into a toystore and they had a Mr Potatohead station where you could build your own... fill up a box of parts for 19.99... so guess what?! We HAD to do that for all 3 kids.. and spent probably an hour building and hunting parts, some you can only get at Disney, mouse ears, all kinds of princess parts and such, that was a blast!!! Then Lucas spotted a build your own lightsaber station, for again 19.99... so he did that! and we just had such a good time there!





We finally get our park tickets, and head back to the condo... to rest up for the next days journey to Epcot.
