Saturday Oct 22 - Shopping

Much cooler today, wore my jacket all day! We spent the first part of our day "shopping" in Downtown Disney. The street seems to go on forever! Lots of great restaurants, the famous Disney Store, Lego Store, Star Wars Store, etc. The kids were on a mission to spent the Disney Bucks they had accumulated over the year. 

My knee seems much better, but still not good for walking much, so I was grateful to have that wheelchair! It also gave me an excuse to not shop - I could sit outside the store in my chair and happily people watch!

Late lunch today was great! We went to the Jazz Kitchen, featuring cajun style dishes. I enjoyed a bowl of Gumbo YaYa. For desert, we shared an order of beignets. 

Back to the hotel at about 4:00 for our rest time. We'll go back to Disneyland later to see the fireworks.

Return to the park at about 7:00. Now its drizzling a bit and quite cold! Its really crowded! First stop was the "Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln" presentation. Odd, it was dated yet very appropriate for today's times. Then over toward Adventure Land and a kinda-fast food place called Bengal Barbeque; we had an assortment of barbequed meats and veggies which was quite good! We were lucky to find a table out of the drizzle!

After dinner we worked our way over to the "Rivers of America" and watched the Fantasmic Show, which was awesome! Disney characters and stories projected onto water spray...hard to describe. Lots of loud music and pyrotechnics.

The fireworks were canceled tonight, due to wind they said. So we packed into Main Street and watched the projection show on the buildings.

Last day here tomorrow.....still some stuff to do in Disneyland, believe it or not!
