We checked in and hit the ground running! We stayed at Port Orleans Riverside and were very pleased. We chose this resort because we loved the idea of the 'Tom Sawyer-like adventure' complete with Ol' Man Island (pool and playground area) and its very own Fishin'Hole. We loved the quaint New Orleans style atmosphere, the pools & water slide, the fishin' hole, the restaurants, the marina, and loved having the ferry to Downtown Disney right outside our front door. Let me back up and say that the night we left home John Michael had a ruptured eardrum. After about a two hour delay seeing a doctor and getting antibiotics and ear drops we left Tuscaloosa and drove all night to Orlando. Joseph and I have always traveled this way and it works for us. So... we arrived, checked in, grabbed our swim suits, and hit the pool and waterslide. The challenge was that John Michael could not go under water... he could swim and splash but not go under the water for two days. So... every time he went down the slide we had to be there to catch him. Let me just say this was the biggest challenge of the entire trip. The boy is a fearless fish! But it worked out and we managed to keep him above water (for the most part). After a few hours of swimming and checking out the resort we hopped on the Ferry, which was literally a few steps from our room, and headed to Downtown Disney. The boys loved LegoLand and we had dinner at the TRex Cafe... very similar to the Rainforest Cafe but with dinosaurs. Perfect for our boys and they loved it! Every few minutes a meteor shower occurs and the dinosaurs come to life. The food was pretty good but the smiles on our boys faces were priceless. We took the ferry back to our resort and crashed to get ready for a big day at Magic Kingdom. See posts below!
