80/365 Downtown Disney

So today started out with the best intentions!

My best friends youngest, H. will be celebrating a birthday soon. Her 4th birthday. And in their family - a 4th birthday means a trip to Disney World!!!!!!

Now, sweet little H has been to Disney once before - when her big sister MA turned 4. But she doesn't really remember it. After all - she did nap through a couple hours of it!


But this time she was older and ready to go.

But the weather wasn't. Neither was the stomach bug she was battling.

So at the last moment, the plans for Magic Kingdom were scrapped and we moved the party over to Downtown Disney. Less crowds, still some Disney magic. Nothing to worry about when the rain comes.

Fortunately enough, there were some rides and we got to ride on them. H did so good and she really had a great time!

Then dad was sneaky and got in there for the photo

We explored the Rain Forest Cafe - which memorized them on the inside with an aquarium and on the outside with animatronic alligators and a live parrot show.

That aquarium captivated them! They loved pointing out the fish from Finding Nemo

Aunt Laura is so patient with them.

That alligator - man, oh man. They could have (and would have if it hadn't started raining) admired that thing all day long.

But the rains, oh they came.

It rained, and rained and rained and rained.

So despite the rain and tummy troubles, a great day was had by all. Much cheaper than a ticket to Magic Kingdom and really just as much fun!
