T- Rex Restaurant

While we were on our Disney World trip, we took the boys to the T-Rex Restaurant at Downtown Disney. We made our reservations before we left but kept it a surprise until we got to the restaurant- they were pretty excited!

This huge T-Rex and her babies are the first thing you see when you walk into the restaurant.

I loved the jellyfish lights- so awesome! The GIANT squid is over the bar area of the restaurant. It's tentacles moved up and down.

How many kids do you know that actually get to pet a real dinosaur?! They were so excited!

There was a Mommy mammoth and her baby right by our table. This is the mom...

and this is the cute baby! Got to pet it too! Lucky!

There was a humongous ice cave with dinosaur fossils and everything! I wonder if this made the other dinosaurs nervous!!

What an awesome place!! Every 15 minutes there was a meteor shower and all the prehistoric creatures made lots of noise and moved. What a great place to eat! We really had a great time! And the food was delish!

Stan ordered the Brontoburger- it was the biggest burger we'd ever seen! He had to take bites all over because there was no way he could have ever opened his mouth wide enough to eat it like a normal hamburger! Wish we had places like this around here to take the kids. It was so much fun!

Character Dining and Rainforest Cafe

While we were at Disney World we were able to have breakfast at a place called Cape May Cafe. You have a fabulous breakfast buffet while the characters make their way around the restaurant so that the kids can say hi and get their pictures taken. The boys really liked it! Goofy and Kyler.
Goofy and Corden. (Corden's on the right)

Here are the boys with Minnie Mouse.

And with Donald Duck.

This is at Rainforest Cafe. The boys were excited to find Nemo, Nemo's dad, Dorie and other fish from Finding Nemo in there!!

All of the animals in the restaurant move and make noise. Every 15 minutes they all go nuts and make a lot of noise! It gets pretty loud! Totally fun!

I think Kyler would have taken this big guy home with us! He sure loves animals!

Corden was a little bit freaked out by this gigantic snake that was moving right above his head!

The seats at the bar section were all animal butts- the boys thought this was totally cool!

This is outside of the Rainforest Cafe, right before you enter the Animal Kingdom. What a fun place!

Our Disney World Hotel

We stayed at the Caribbean Beach Resort at Disney World. It was a really nice place and the pool was awesome!
There was a small slide in one section of the pool that both boys loved...

and a big water slide in another section! It went through the building and was pitch black inside. Kyler loved it, Corden refused to try it!

There were two big hot tubs shaped like tropical fish.

In another section of the pool, there was splash and play area for the kids! It looked like a broken pirate ship. The boys thought it was pretty sweet! In this picture, Corden is standing back because the bucket is dumping water out all over the place and he didn't want it to splash him!

Corden.

Kyler.

Most fun hotel pool we've ever been to!

Disney World- Magic Kingdom

The boys were so excited to meet the one and only

MICKEY MOUSE!
Another one of their faves, Pluto!

This was an interactive show called Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor. While you are waiting for the show to start, there is a # you can text a joke to and it may or may not get used in the show. Well, Kyler texted a joke, and they used it in the show! That was pretty cool. He was so excited!

This is Tomorrowland Speedway. The kids really liked this ride. Stan and I liked letting the kids drive! :)

Kyler rippin' it up on the track!

This is Mickey Mouse's garage.

And this is his garden. Why don't my pumpkins look like that! We also walked through Mickey's house. The boys thought it was pretty awesome!

This was a kids roller coaster ride called Goofy's Barnstormer. Corden decided he wasn't going to like it before we got on (roller coaster)! And guess what he said when the ride was over? That's right, he hated it!

Here we are on the Mad Tea Party. This is a fun ride that you can get really nauseous on!

Some pictures of the parade.

Beauty and the Beast.

Cinderella, her Prince, and the Fairy Godmother.

Mickey and Minnie Mouse.

Mickey Mouse ice cream bars! Why do they taste so much better than regular ice cream bars??

Behind us in this picture is Splash Mountain.

Everyone LOVED this ride! We were shocked! We thought for sure Corden wasn't going to like it and we'd only be able to go on it one time, but he loved it! So we went on it over and over again! What a great time we had at the Magic Kingdom!

Disney World- Hollywood Studios

This is Mickey's giant sorcerer hat at Hollywood Studios.
There is a Honey I Shrunk the Kids play area where everything is huge like in the movie when the kids are in the backyard. The kids had a lot of fun playing there. They even got to go for a ride on Antee!

Corden had to have his picture taken with the Power Rangers! (Of course.)

How cool are these boys!! Hanging out with Lightning McQueen and Mator- Lucky!

We ate lunch at the Sci-Fi Dine in Theater while we were at Hollywood Studios. Everyone gets their own car to sit in while they eat and watch movies on the big drive-in movie screen! It was really cool!

Getting ready to go on the 4-D Toy Story Mania ride. The boys really liked the sweet glasses!

Outside of the Toy Story Mania ride, the army men were walking around doing and saying funny stuff.

They did a show and picked some kids from the audience to participate. Corden was picked and did such a great job! They were so funny!

This was the Star Wars ride. (One of Corden's favorites.) I think he went on it 10 times!

On the way in to the ride there were ships and robots. It was really neat.

Kyler is sitting by the Huge guitar on the front of the Rockin' Roller Coaster building. This was Kyler's absolute favorite ride! He loved it!

The roller coaster looked like a Cadillac stretch limo! It shoots you up to 60 miles per hour in a matter of just seconds rather that taking you slowly up and dropping fast! Then you just go like mad with Aerosmith music blasting as you go. It is totally awesome!

LOVED IT!!!

This is the elevator you get on to go on The Tower of Terror Ride. Stan and I love this ride!

Here we are waiting for the elevator doors to open. Corden was sure while we were waiting in line that he was going to hate it! And guess what, he did! But he was so brave to try it and find out! We really had fun at Hollywood Studios! If we ever go again though, I don't think we'll be able to talk Corden into going on Tower of Terror again!
