I went last week for a short 4 day trip to WDW. We ended up going to AK because we were up so early that it was the only park open (early admission). Well, I haven't been there in 3 or 4 years and generally I don't care to visit because the park layout can be a little too hectic and it always seems so hot there. I went mainly because I was curious about EE and I wanted to see in person just how big it really is.....I was impressed-its BIG. My son just turned 2 and we are trying to entertain him more with "young children activities" so we went to the dig in Dinoland and he had an awesome time. While there we went to the Chester & Hester area and I have to admit I liked it. Now, I have been against it from day 1 and I still feel the unimaginative - off the shelf rides in any form are against Disney standards,but I did like the area. I had to keep it in context- an older carnival/dinosaur theme,but it was cooler than I thought. The carnival games were fun and the prizes they awarded were much bigger and nicer than real fairs or carnivals. I won a few stuffed animals for my son and he LOVES them. I spent maybe $15 bucks and won three medium sized toys.Those are by far the cheapest Disney souveneirs I have ever purchased! I didn't ride the rides because my son is too small and my wife hates rollercoasters and anything that spins. But overall I had a better time than expected.
