I was going over my notes from our Disney trip - in a nutshell, these are the things I didn't devote a post to, but are worth mentioning:
Contemporary Resort - watching fireworks from the 4th floor deck. Get there early for seating, although standing isn't too bad. The fireworks don't last long enough for your feet to start hurting. Well, at least my 46-year-old feet.
Contempo Cafe at Contemporary Resort - cafeteria-style food, affordable by Disney price standards. My son went crazy for the Mickey waffles.
Road trip to Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach - admission price to the Kennedy Space Center isn't cheap, so make sure your kids are old enough to appreciate it. Cocoa Beach itself was worth the drive - my kids love the beach. It wasn't too crowded for July, either.
Usually when traveling, I try to eat local as much as possible, but there is nothing wrong with going to a chain restaurant when you have cranky kids and know said chain restaurant will have something they will eat, i.e., IHOP, Denny's, we hit both.
The "outlet" gift shops in tourist areas can be misleading. They usually advertise $1 towels or t-shirts - the $1 towels and t-shirts are from an event several years ago or contain rude sayings.
The good stuff is still more expensive, although not as bad as the hotels. I recommend Publix, Target, WalMart - they have all the souvenirs at much cheaper prices.
Two events that will receive their own blog posts - Sean's tantrum at the water slide and our trip to Our Lady of the Universe Basilica, a National Shrine.
