Peek in Our Week and Disney Old and New

As you know, we spent time at Disney earlier this week. Since we've come home, there hasn't been a whole lot of training. Okay, I don't think either of us did anything but go for a walk...haha. But all that will be changing this week.  I am determined to stick to a strength training and stretching schedule for the next couple of months. I am not as sore after finishing Glass slipper challenge as I was when I finished the Goofy Challenge, so this gives me hope that I may be on my way to healing and that I just might be "okay" for Tinkerbell in May!

Before we left for Disney, we said we wanted to do some new things that we have never done before during our visit. As we find our favorite things to do or eat at Disney, it does get harder to try other things. We thought we would share some of our favorites and "new" things we've done.

Resort: Polynesian  ( same as last year)



We had a spectacular view from the Fiji building at the Polynesian Resort.

So far, trying something new isn't not going very well.

Restaurants visited:



Tony's Town Square is one of our favorite restaurants in Magic Kingdom. It is known as the Lady and the Tramp restaurant.

Contempo Café:  Visited before
Rainforest Café: Visited before
Ghiridelli: Visited Before
Gasparillas: Visited before
Picabu: Visited before
Kona Island: New For Lacey
Kona café: Visited before
Cape May Buffet Character Breakfast: ( We have been to this restaurant a few times for dinner but never for the character breakfast).
Tony's Town Square: Visited Before.
Plaza Ice Cream Shop: Visited Before

We totally failed on trying new restaurants.

Attractions outside the theme parks.



Typhoon Lagoon is one of two water parks at Disney.

Fantasia Gardens Golf : Visited before
Typhoon Lagoon: Visited before MANY years ago but doing it again this past week was like doing it for the first time. It was SO much fun. We relaxed in the lazy river but then did all the tubing water slides.

Rides:



Dumbo: We FINALLY rode Dumbo!

7 Dwarves Mine Train: We finally got to ride this too. We always pass it by because the line is SO long ( we always miss getting a fast pass). This was the first ride we went to when the park opened and we only waited about 40 minutes ( maybe less).

I think trying 2 new rides was a success!


Character Meetings:

We've met many of our favorite characters ( but in different costumes) but I won't count them.




The  NEW characters that we've met that we've never met before were Ana and Elsa ( and believe me if the theme of the race hadn't been "FROZEN", we wouldn't have waited in line to see them. We are not that serious about meeting characters....haha.

 

We also met the Tweedles this visit, and a few new characters along the race course.

So in all, we totally failed at eating at new restaurants and trying new attractions but meeting new characters and riding new rides counts as a success.  I think we will make more of an effort to do new things during our next trip ( I know we say that each time..lol).


Did you try anything new this weekend?
