Our first night in Disney was spent at Downtown Disney. This is an awesome place to spend your first night while there because normally your theme park tickets will not be active until the next day. Downtown Disney had a great atmosphere and it's free! There is so much for the kids to see and do too. We decided to head to Downtown Disney when we arrived in Orlando. Luckily we were able to walk right up to their new T-REX cafe and eat. It's kind of like the Rainforest Cafe, if you have ever been there, but with a Dinosaur theme. Every 20 minutes or so there is a meteor shower that kills off all the dinosaurs. The kids were a little nervous with this at first but after a while they thought it was pretty cool. They have a build a dinosaur workshop and also a "dig" where you can search for dinosaur fossils.
After a yummy dinner with all the dinos we walked around Disney and saw all the shops and shows. There is a wonderful souvenir shop there too. You can get your shopping out of the way and worry about other things the rest of the trip. Paxton enjoyed the Lego shop again and both kids let loose on the playground there. A little release after being stuck in car seats all day! It was a great way to start our Disney trip and get us in the Disney mood! Check back, more Disney to come!

Lots of photo opportunities here!

So happy to have found her Princess!
Paxton was amazed at this gigantic Tinker Toy. He loves to play with these at Grandmama and Grandaddy's house.
Arrrgh, matey!
A little Lego fun to end the evening!
