Day 10 - WDW Vacation

The end of the trip is near, this was our final full day in the fabulous land known as Disney World. We took it easy in the morning then made our way to the Volcano Pool at the Polynesian Resort. Lexie is a fish, she LOVES to swim. Grandma had bought her a new Tinker Bell swimsuit and she was so excited to wear it. Dad and Lexie both braved the Volcano slide while I waited below. Grandpa helped us out by watching Jaden so we could all swim. Lexie even got to wear a life vest so we didn't have to worry about her drowning herself.

After swimming we headed to Downtown Disney for lunch at the ne TREX Restaurant. The folks who built Rainforest Cafe venture this new endeavor with Dinosaurs intstead of Rainforest animals. It was such a cool restaurant with many different "theme" rooms. We were seated in the Ice Age Room which rotated between Blue, and Pink Ice. Lexie loved the Dinosaur effects as we got to sit through many Meteor Showers. The food was very yummy, I had fried shrimp and a chocolate shake. The main reason for heading toward TREX was the one and only Build-a-Dino inside the restaurant. Lexie wanted to build her a dinosaur, since she loves Bear World (that's what she calls Build-a-Bear) and this was very similar. Out of all the cute and cuddly dinosaurs she picked the Dilophosaurus (sp?) with sharp pointy teeth and scally skin. The salesman was really cute with her and helped her put PINK to sleep for the surgery to close her up (PINK needed special attention). It took a while to pick out an outfit, Lexie wanted her to wear certain things but Mom wants her outfits to match. Silly Mom! Grandma was so kind to treat Lexie and Jaden to a new Dino friend. Jaden got a Triceratops, Dad's personal favorite.



We headed straight for Epcot from Downtown Disney. We rode Spaceship Earth then headed to get character autographs while Grandma, Grandpa, and Great Grandma took Jaden and slowly made their way to the Mexico pavilion. The Epcot character greeting for the Fab 5 is so fun, we loved the cute backdrops for pictures. Goofy was the funnest, he wouldn't stop playing with our hair and ears for the pictures. Afterwords we dropped off Lexie with Grandma and Grandpa then did some shopping for souvenirs in Mouse Gear store. I found the jacket I'd been looking at in the correct size . . . I love it!

At the Mexico pavilion we met up with Uncle Nate and Aunt Amy. We found tables (waited for tables) while Nate and Dad waiting in line to order food. When we were done with our meal we headed inside to ride the Three Cabellero's Ride. Lexie had been on this ride several times and was most excited to show the others the Donald Duck ride. When we were nearing the end of the ride the funniest thing happened. The passengers in the boat in front of us decided they didn't want to wait to get off so the stood up and tried to exit on the walkway on the side. Hello, you need to wait for the signal to exit. I found it funny since Disney has castmembers at ALL the rides telling you when to enter and exit the ride. Guess they missed that detail.

The kids went back to the hotel with Grandma and Granpa while Josh and I got to walk our way around the World Showcase. It was a nice end to our day, even though my feet were killing me and all I really wanted to do was sit down. We met up with Nate and Amy and headed back to the Monorail to the Ticket and Transportation Center. From the TTC we got on the Monorail to the Polynesian. We had finally made it back to the resort, got the kids and went to bed. We should have stayed up and packed for the trip home but instead we went to bed with the intention of waking up early to pack.
