The first night we explored the different resorts all around the parks. One of them is Port Orleans and it is the only place that sells Mickey Beginets. I fell in love with these when we went to Disneyland for my birthday a few years ago. These weren't quite the same but they were good enough. :) Each resort has so many different things to do and is an experience all on its own separate from the amusement parks. We will for sure be going back to them and maybe even sneaking into to do a little swimming at the fun pools.
The next two nights we actually spent the day at Magic Kingdom and stayed at the Grand Floridian. We enjoyed taking Ellie to the pool for the first time. She loves the bath so we thought she would enjoy the pool. It had a zero entry so it was nice she could just sit in just a little bit of water. She wasn't quite sure the whole time but overall we think she liked it. It was fun to play tourist at the hotel. We even went and had dinner with Cinderella and her crew. Since the Grand Floridian is so close to Magic Kingdom we could just sit outside and watch the fireworks. It is fun to see the fireworks in person that we hear at our house at 10:03 every night. The next morning we went and had the famous Tongan Toast at the Polynesian resort. It is french toast stuffed with bananas, rolled in cinnamon sugar, and topped off with a strawberry syrup. It was pretty delicious but VERY expensive. I think I'll have to try and find a copy cat recipe on Pinterest and try it at home.
Our final night of activities we spent at home watching the movie Tower of Terror. It is a Disney movie that was based off the ride. If you love the ride then you'll enjoy the movie. I think it gives a little bit of a better background story to the ride.
We had such a fun time exploring Disney World. There is still a lot more to learn and we feel very blessed a lucky to be able to do that.
