Downtown Disney - Shopping, Lunch, & Second Dessert
August 31, 2012
I figured that we would spend the second half of our Animal Kingdom day shopping in Downtown Disney.
We didn't get Park Hoppers for this trip and Animal Kingdom is only a half day for us.
There are so many places to shop at Downtown Disney and I'm determined to visit new places on our next trip! Our first stop was Days of Christmas
Matt purchased an ornament for his mom & dad & I got 2 ornaments for us.
His parents have 2 shar peis named Buster & Chip. They joke that Chip has an Eeyore personality and Buster has a Tigger personality so we found the most perfect Eeyore & Tigger ornament!
My favorite character is Stitch so I had to get my first ever Stitch ornament!
I also started the tradition on our first trip of getting a photo frame ornament with the year on it!
After the fun Christmas store, we headed over to my absolute favorite Disney store EVER! Tren-D
I could shop in here ALL day!
I found a wonderful Curiouser & Curiouser Alice in Wonderland shirt and a beyond awesome princess mug!
Once a Princess, Always a Princess!
At this point we were starving! I spent forever in Tren-D picking out the 2 items that I wanted the most.
We decided on Wolfgang Puck Express which was a first for us.
It was PACKED! I should have known better than to grab lunch at prime lunch time.
We had to eat outside in the hot, hot sun. We live in the South though.... so we were used to it.
It was nice not to be crowded! There were also some cute squirrels near us
Matt & I split the Curried Chicken Salad
It was ok but definitely different. This is a great bang for your buck place if you are on the dining plan.
We got Creme Brulee for dessert!
It was good for CS creme brulee.
I seriously thought about naming this trip report something with Creme Brulee in the title because I had it FOUR times on this trip. I feel like '#fatty' should go here!
After lunch it was time to do more shopping!
