Another big difference is the temperature after sunset. It gets cold here.

Kids are hoping for grizzly river run after WOC. Gonna be cold walking back to paradise pier.

Just a warning, you're pretty much guaranteed to get wet on Grizzly River Run. It's pretty cold tonight, so just be careful.

Smaller, but thats what makes DL great!! Its all so close.

Dinner at Carthay Circle. We ate in the Hollywood room.

Food was good, service very slow. In WDW they herd you in and get you out. In DL, not so much. Over 2 hours for us is too long! I had salmon. My wife had the ribeye. Both kids had the filet.

Madelyn had a funky drink!

Both loved sipping their tomato soup from their cups.

We visited the Sorcerers Workshop after dinner. The storybook in Beast's library said Madelyn was most like Mulan.

We did some voice overs to some of our favorite Disney songs and movies, too.

 

[coachwnh]

Then we took a slow walk from Buena Vista Street to see World of Color
