[bcbmom]

Really enjoying your trip report and all the great pics...your children are beautiful. We are also going with Free Dining in Sep. We had planned to go a few yrs ago when the kids were younger and dh was diagnosed with Kidney disease and ended up needing a transplant....so needless to say that put Disney plans on hold. Life is finally getting back to normal and we are making our Disney dream come true. I hope our vacation is as wonderful as yours was!!

Ok so where was I ..
Day Six -
We slept in because it was our day off from the parks ..
When we woke up we got dressed and went to downtown disney for the afternoon ... The kids love it here because they know they get to go shopping finally ..

heres a photo of some of the things they got ...


We knew we planned on buying the big MR Potato Head to fill up for $40 so we bought our own heads so we were able to fill the big potato with every part that disney had .. then bought the super big pices for $2.00 each so we ended up with every piece they offered for around $60 . so when we got back to the room they both got to play with it and make their own potato head because we bought 2 heads from home ..
so heres a hint for everyone ...Bring your own patato heads from home for the kids ..
Plus they got 4 different play sets .. the kids love those ...

After shopping we headed back to POp to eat and go swimming in the pool

After eating we went and change clothes to swim

Hurry up mom i want to swim .... Said the kids

so after we went swimming we knew it was time to head back to the room to get Baths and get ready for our dinner ..It was time for us to head over to the Concourse Steakhouse ....
We just love the the Concourse Steakhouse .... Im very sad that it will be closed down..
