We stayed at the Port-Orleans Riverside resort, a very nice place with lots of amazing buildings and a river on which we took a boat to Downtown Disney.
 |
| Restaurant / cafeteria portion of our resort. We really liked it. |
 |
| The boardwalk around it. |
 |
| Another part of the resort I believe. |
 |
| The central part with the Lobby, the bar and the actual restaurant (not the Cafeteria) |
 |
| Off to Disney Downtown on a boat like the blue one there while Suzanne is working. |
 |
| Our Captain was 80 years old, and quite talkative |
 |
| Acres and acres of perfection at Disney World. |
 |
| I love these chalets on stilts. |
After a brief visit to check out the Rainforest Cafe, we stopped at the Lego Store, Mathieu’s favourite place. He did not waste time showing off his amazing building skills. Sadly, they didn’t have the model he wanted.
 |
| The kids were quite taken with the Rainforest café |
 |
| This is inside the café |
 |
| Buzz Lightyear |
 |
| Entirely made of Lego. The knight on the horse is about Mathieu's size |
 |
| The Hulk, in Lego |
We had lunch at the amazing if somewhat noisy T-Rex restaurant, a place full of animated dinosaurs. Suzanne ordered a flashing drink and both Sabrina and Mathieu got to make their own dinosaurs: Snowy and Mato.

 |
| Inside the T-Rex restaurant... VERY LOUD, but an experience |
 |
| Animotronics everywhere. This block of ice changes color when the meteorite strikes or the volcanoes erupt. |
 |
| I'm a robot :) |
 |
| Suzanne's drink glows in the dark. |
 |
| You can't go to that restaurant without touring it. Really cool. |
After lunch we were back at Magic Kingdom. We did fun rides like Pirates of the Caribbean’s, Big Thunder Mountain, Space Mountain, Buzz Lightyear and It’s a Small World. Once again, dinner at the Crystal Palace.
 |
| Back to Magic Kingdom. There's no sign of any Christmas decorations. They had to work all night for there was a lot. And I have neighbours who still have theirs... |
 |
| Waiting for the Pirates of the Caribbean's ride. |
 |
| Swiss Family Robinson Tree House |
 |
| Back to the Crystal Palace for our real reservations. |
 |
| His fur is the same colour as my hair |
Wishes Nighttime Spectacular is the biggest, brightest fireworks extravaganza in Magic Kingdom theme park history. We had the chance to experience it again right after dinner in front of the Crystal Palace.
There’s something special about these fireworks. In some way, they and the castle represent the image of Disney I have when I think of it.
I’ll always remember the first time we saw them in July 2010. Sabrina was in awe (it was her first fireworks). Mathieu slept through them.
 |
| Real nice fireworks, and the castle changes colour as they go. |
We were fortunate enough to experience the Main Street Electrical Parade while going back to our bus. It’s quite magical to see all our favourite Disney characters on bright shining floats. Just beautiful.

 |
| Alice... There's no cat... |
 |
| and now there's one. |
 |
| Hook fighting with Peter Pan |
 |
| Hi-ho, hi-ho |
 |
| Some sort of Magic Dragon.... Puff |
The ride of the day was most certainly Space Mountain
 |
| Suzanne's favorite. Mathieu had a great time too. |
