This entry has been written from the view point of someone who has never been to any Disney theme park, not even Disneyland Paris.
It is also my first holiday in the US, and although I have spent two weeks in eastern Canada, I expect that the experience will be very different.
I would also like to point out that this holiday is being spent with my pregnant wife and two children under the age of ten, and so it is very unlikely that we will be experiencing any of the major thrill rides, which to be honest is no loss as far as I am concerned anyway. |
With obvious indications that the kids had struggled on their first full day in Orlando we decided that our second day should be relatively low key. Breakfast was out at Perkins, a homely restaurant whose core business is cakes and pies, service and food was above what we had received at Denny's the day before but still not sparkling. With nothing else planned for the day we took another trip into Walmart and then settled down for an afternoon back at the villa by the pool.
By late afternoon we had got restless to do something Disney again, but bearing in mind how ill our youngest got the day before, we felt that it should be a dinner and then home, so this really only left one option that would fulfil all requirements and that's Downtown Disney. Downtown Disney if you don't know is a large shopping and restaurant area within Disney World itself, where you can browse the shops, before having a meal at one of the numerous restaurants there, and unlike the parks themselves you can park there for free.
Walt Disney World Resort - Downtown Disney
We arrived at Downtown quite late in the afternoon and felt that we should eat as soon as possible. We had seen a number of restaurants as we arrived but one that immediately caught our attention was T-Rex which we made a quick beeline for. When we arrived there was already a bit of a queue forming outside, however it was obvious to us all that this place looked as though it was somewhere worth waiting for so a booking was made and we entered to browse the shop adjoining the restaurant area.

This is an early version of the article and may, and probably will change as the rest of the articles written about this holiday are completed. If there are any mistakes you feel I have made please leave a comment and I will try to resolve them in future revisions. |
