A little rest, a little shopping, a little gaming

Thursday, May 15th
Everyone had a good sleep in and clocked 10-12 hours of restful slumber.

Girls went to swim in the Oak Water pool, but then it started to storm so their fun was cut a little short.  Gregg and I did some laundry and meal preparation quickly and planning and then we were off shopping again.

I talked about that in a previous post, so this is about some of the other parts of the Downtown Disney area.  I took the time to just walk around the boardwalk and into shops.  It was a very nice vibe and felt very friendly and safe.

We thought so much of our childhood and our nieces and nephews playing with their Lego.  It was hard to not purchase something, so we bought a mug for one of Lego's biggest fans and that was it.

Lego by the bucket loads.  Odd pieces, etc.



Rockin' out at Planet Hollywood

Famous hand prints at Planet Hollywood!
I only had my phone with me this evening and it was obviously dark, so my photos are not great.  We still have the memories though!




Lego sea monster

Make your own Lego car and race them!

Everything Lego...rock, dragon, knight, sword...


Lots of stunningly well organized stores here.  
 Disney cookie cutter $5
Lego Mug for a gift $9
I actually texted some friends back in Canada about whether or not I should buy a wooden rolling pin while at Disney.  In the end I decided against it and that I'd do more research on if I'd use it or not instead of my marble one.  How wonderful to have the phone plan with free texting.  We used it constantly so that we could split up and look at different things if we wished and still meet back up easily.

CHOCOLATE!  
I walked into a chocolate shoppe and was more than happy to receive a free mini sample.
Potato Head parts
You can pick and choose Potato Head parts here... dress them like Mickey Mouse, etc.  Oh ...fun by the bucket load!
They have a Circus de Soleil

Lots of kitchen ware at Disney too


Gregg started to drive away when Ruth was only part way in the Yukon  "I could have swore I saw 5 girls get in the car!"  Ruth thought she was going to get run over, but instead we now have a family joke about "seeing 5 girls get in the car!"  Where are the 5 girls Gregg?  Getting a little worn out?  ha ha!

Disney Quest at Disney World ~ A Fun Pass Option

Saturday, May 10th
Slept in ... awww... so hard to sleep in while on vacation and there's things to see!  Girls are off to the townhouse community pool while we prepare food stuffs.

Disney Quest Fun Pass Option tickets

To the pool!

Haven't seen this in Canada!
We did some more internet searching for another townhouse nearby that we can extend our stay another 5 days.  Finally found one in Oak Water, a little bit closer to Disney and they would charge us $320 for the 5 nights!
Then we did a quick grocery shop and ate some burrito corn wraps (corn wraps are gluten free and plentiful down here...as well as 200+ kinds of hot sauce!) and then to check out Disney Downtown.  Disney Quest is within this Downtown Disney area.  Free parking and lots of restaurants and shopping.
Disney Quest is included in your Fun Pass option

Candy making and Sweets Store

Note the Atari shirt to wear while gaming at Disney Quest

We thought often of some brothers and cousins who would be besides themselves 
playing all these games again!

Pac Man!
Downtown Disney has a big theater, restaurants, Circus Solei, Lego store, etc etc.  Live music and entertainment as well.  The boardwalk area would make for some wonderful date nights.




Make your own music was a lot of laughs


Disney Quest is 5 stories of arcade and simulator type rides.


This face says it all!




There are a lot of games that you can play together and were actually fun for all of us!




We're all thinking that we need to come back here and explore more of the area next time.
