Disney Trip - Day 1

After two years of postponing, we finally took Rylee to Disney World for the first time this December. My parents stayed at our house to take care of Jace and Rio (what a Godsend - thank you!) and emptied their change jar to give us some spending cash (over $200). Love you, love you!

We left early Sunday morning and checked into the hotel after lunch. We were at the All-Star Movie resort and we got the Toy Story section so we were all ecstatic to be greeted by the giant characters coming and going.

We took Rylee swimming for a while, but the pool wasn't heated so we didn't last long.  Instead we cleaned up and hopped the shuttle to Downtown Disney for dinner and shopping.  Rylee got some spending cash from my parents and she cleaned out one of her piggy banks so she had $60 and she was determined to spend it!

We walked around a bit, stopped to take some photos in the Lego store...

... and Rylee picked out an Elsa doll from "Frozen" which Gaga had treated her to a few days earlier.  We decided to eat at the T-Rex cafe (kind of like Rainforest Cafe, but with dinosaurs).  Roar!

 

It was a little pricey, but the experience was awesome.  More fun than Rainforest, if you ask me, and the portions were dinosaur sized.  Jon and I could have easily split a meal.  Next time.  :)

Afterwards, we grabbed the shuttle back to the hotel and went to bed early so we could have lots of energy for the Magic Kingdom the next day!
