Lefty’s-Downtown Disney

Posted in EVERYTHING DISNEY with tags , on March 24, 2012 by disneychronicles

Have you seen this place? It is also at Downtown Disney.  This used to be the wood carving store.

Great if you need a gift for that left handed friend!

They sell items made specifically for left-handed people – things such as scissors, notebooks, pens, mugs, cooking utensils and other items.

 

Those of you who have visited San Francisco may have visited their other store on Pier 39.

Rainforest Cafe – Downtown Disney

Posted in DISNEY DINING, EVERYTHING DISNEY with tags , on March 24, 2012 by disneychronicles

We stopped in at the Rainforest Cafe in Downtown Disney.  It was during the remodel so it was a little bit boarded up but once you walked in you wouldn’t know it.  We had reservations for lunch but it still took about 45 minutes to get seated.  It really wasn’t that bad because being where we were the boys took advantage of some pin trading!  (of course)

 

To dine here and experience the rain forest jungle setting was fun! The atmosphere is amazing!

The Food  is ok…not great!!!  But the kids absolutely loved it!!   Do keep in mind that some of the animals are animated and will move & make sounds.  It’s not over the top but it does thunder and rain so that may scare little ones.  They also have a huge shop with rainforest theme items, they make it look as if we were under a tree canopy, and huge aquariums and animal bottom stools at the bars!

The theming is great to look at and If it is your birthday get a Volcano!!! (But it will cost you $15) 🙂

It is being added to my FAV list! The graphics are unbelievable! I hope they make one for Disney World!

Pins….Pins…Pins….OH MY!

Posted in EVERYTHING DISNEY with tags on February 24, 2012 by disneychronicles

ok, I admit…this has gotten out of hand!

originally we bought a handful of pins that the boys could trade when we came to the parks.

We are now at approximately 200!

It has somehow morphed and escalated to a FULL BLOWN PIN ADDICTION!

Seriously. It is now the main focus of every visit to the parks, hotels, downtown Disney and even the Disney outlet stores!

We focus on specific pins that we MUST get to complete a collection…and yes we are known to run down that person or cast member that may have that pin. Hey, It’s important! 🙂

and an added bonus of course is the “limited” pins….It’s good to know the “right” people! (wink wink)

YUP! that’s how I got this LIMITED “Vacation Club” pin! Whoo hoo! How cute is that!!! hmmmmm I wonder if it’s part of a set! (just kidding)

 

Although I guess I shouldn’t complain…there are worse addictions…….for example….VINYLMATIONS!

(I don’t even want to get started with that!) …….yet. 🙂
