We spent Friday night at the Fairfield Inn & Suites in
Palm Coast, FL. Nice, clean hotel, and I got a great deal on priceline. It was
exactly what we needed for the short amount of time that we were there.
We woke up Saturday morning, ate breakfast at the hotel, and
then hit the road. We were in a hurry to get to Orlando! It was a quick trip,
only about 2 hours. We went straight to the Gaylord Palms to check in for the
night. I also got a great deal on priceline for this room. Tomorrow, we would
be checking into our Disney Resort for the rest of the week. We went up to
check out the room, and it was huge! Two queen beds, plus lots of extra space.
Too bad we were only there for one night.
We decided not to waste any time, and we drove right over to
the Magic Kingdom. We parked at the Polynesian Resort, and took the monorail
over the the Magic Kingdom. We were all hungry, so we decided to grab some
lunch at Tortuga Tavern in Adventure Land. We all split some yummy nachos, and
were ready to ride some rides. First off is always, Pirates of the Caribbean,
Andrew’s Favorite! We went over to say
hello to Goofy, Donald, Daisy, and Minnie. Michael was a little shy, but by the
end of the week, he loved meeting the characters!
After a couple of hours, Michael fell asleep in his
stroller, and we decided that it was time for a Dole Whip! The line to get a
Dole Whip was ridiculous, so we took the monorail over to the Polynesian
Resort, and got one there. It was so refreshing!
Then we headed back to the hotel. There was going to be an
Alligator Feeding demonstration in the lobby, and we didn't want to miss that.
We were hoping Michael might lay down a little bit in the room, but that didn't
happen, so we went to the lobby and waited for the demonstration. The Gaylord
Palms is a huge resort, and the lobby isn't really a lobby, it is more like a
shopping mall. We watched the guy feed all of the alligators, and then it was
time for us to eat some dinner.
We knew we had to eat at Sweet Tomatoes at least once, while
we were in Florida, so Saturday night seemed like the perfect time. Andrew ate
a Sweet Tomatoes over ten years ago, and since then, he has talked about it all
the time. We don’t have any in SC, and the closest one is 3 hours away. Well,
it did not disappoint. It was great, and we ALL ate a ton of food. Michael ate
more during this meal, then any other meal the whole week. We will definitely
be going back when we are in Orlando again. After dinner, it was time to go to
bed. We had a long day, and the week was just getting started. Tomorrow we get
to check into our Disney Resort, and we couldn't wait!
