DTD recommendations for a few hours...

[mince]

Any recommendations for a family of four (boys 2.5 and 7) to spend a few hours at DTD? We are on our way to Tampa, but we'll have some time to kill. My little one loves Mickey, so we feel we have to stop since we'll be in Orlando anyway.

Your boys will probably love Once Upon a Toy, World of Disney and the Lego store.
There is also a Ghiradelli's that usually gives out free samples of chocolate and has yummy ice cream.

Depending on the age T-rex is very cool or grab a bite at the Rainforest Cafe.

LEGO Store! They have an area you can play with Legos, right next to a small playground.

LEGO store. I can't drag the three males I'm with out of there (dh and two boys 9 and 7).

Last time we went we spent over 1.5 hours in the store because my oldest and I ended up in the building section (the little circular closed off area in the middle of the store) building a display model for the Lego Store. he got a certificate of completion and everything.

We are going to spend some time at DTD the first day and go visit T-rex. We loved eating there last time...it was fun to see!!!

Thanks to all who replied!

Legoland, of course and my girls enjoyed designing / decorating their own t-shirts. The store is right when you enter Downtown Disney, I believe on the right-hand side. It took 1 hour to get them printed and back so we had something to look forward to on the way out.

Where at DTD can I use my Disney Rewards card? Any of the restaurants or just the stores?
