Disneyworld- downtown Disney!

Downtown Disney is basically a giant shopping and food area that is free admission.  I'm pretty sure you can JUST go to downtown if you really want. I'd highly recommend going to at least one of the parks though. They are super fun!
But i digress.
Downtown Disney. Lots of shopping and food, but there is also a lot of entertainment options. There is a movie theater, as well as hybrid restaurant/entertainment shops that have some super long hours for visitors. Downtown Disney also has all of the characteristics of the parks, such as statues, ice cream stands, Mickey shaped everything, as well as all the Disney merch and photo ops you could possibly ask for. Actually, downtown Disney might have a TOUCH more shopping options, as they cater to all the parks features, so you can get a lot of the other park merchandise that may not be in the park you went to (unless you went to them all, in which case you are a baller, and need to take me next time).

Holidays at Disney are AWESOME

Frozen is big all year long, but its even MORE pronounced at Christmas!

Typical picture of men waiting while the ladies shop? 

Yea, okay, so how awesome is this dragon made of Lego? Like, are you kidding me here?

I think I read somewhere that this is actually functional?

Snowflakes in the land of sun!

Seriously, ANY Christmas decoration you could possibly ask for Disney style. 

Disneyworld part 2!

We got to eat at the Be Our Guest restaurant. Now, this was super impressive! I had tried to make reservations MONTHS before we went,  but they were totally full. I was more disappointed than I'd like to admit.
But!
When we saw the restaurant we decided to ask if there were any spots left, just in case there had been a cancellation or if they kept spots open for walk ins. Many restaurants do.
Turns out they had ONE table for 2 for the entire night and it was at that exact time! So damn right we went for it!

The restaurant was exactly what i was expecting. It was perfect and amazing and the food was phenomenal. Everything was fantastic. I did not try the grey stuff because it wasn't veggie friendly (it has gelatin) but my mashed cauliflower was the best I've ever had.

So fancy

This is the ratatouille that the husband got. It apparently tasted super great.

Looks like baby food, right? But so goddamn delicious. Carrots, mashed cauliflower, mashed potatoes, and backed Mac and Cheese. 

The West Wing is NOT forbidden here!

I love they got all the details!

Right out of a movie, eh?

This was the east wing, I guess? It was across from the west wing, so I make assumptions.

There were plenty of paintings of the cute couple. Some were scenes from the movie (or Christmas special) and some were not. Maybe more concept art?

Naturally.

He was such a gentleman! Seriously, I got a bow and everything. It was AMAZING!
