Downtown Disney Orlando

Downtown Disney
Downtown Disney in Orlando is much bigger than the one in California. They do pretty much have the same staple stores (Wonderful World of Disney which had a branch of the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique and Lego) and restaurants, such as Rainforest Café. We wanted to try T-Rex but the wait time was 90 minutes so we ended up in the Rainforest Café Lava Lounge where we sat outside (instead of inside where they had the airconditioning we wanted).

DD#1 went nuts looking at all the sweets at Goofy Candy Co. and we enjoyed browsing Christmas stuff at the Days of Christmas store. The girls also had fun doing their pin trading at the marketplace. We had ice cream at Ghirardelli and checked out the goodies at the Marketplace Fun Finds.

As the sun set, the area became more and more vibrant. There was a dance party at the Waterside Stage and the bars started getting packed. Since we had been up from 430am that day, we decided it was time to head back to the resort. With little sleep and with kids in tow, we really did not have the energy to revel in this street party. We had to get ready for back to back days in the theme parks so we skipped on the Cirque show and passed on many other stores .

We did manage to catch a live performance at the Raglan Road Patio stage where we saw a fun rendition of Pharrell’s Happy in violin! But that was about all we could take for the day. We caught the boat back to Port Orleans Riverside and called it a night. The trip to Downtown Disney definitely set the mood for the fun days ahead.
