The trip went by quickly .... Left at 7am, arrived around 2. We were able to grab two nights at the worldmark just down the road from Disney! 
After check in, we relaxed for awhile - I cut up fruit and veggies and made pasta for the boys and heated up last nights corn chowder for myself ... Loving not eating out.
After a rest and a hot bath ... We decided to walk to downtown Disney. We also needed to grab our tickets for tommorow. On our way to the park, we spotted this guy! Hi Santa!!
Then it was my turn to be excited! Beauty and Beast Carrie!!! Isn't it awesome??!
We've been giggling and shaking our heads all night. 
There is a Lego store in downtown Disney. This very cool screen will put together whatever box you hold up to the screen. So happily, the set Isaac has been pining for months for was there, and he held it up and watched it get built.
We decided to get into the crazy lines for our tickets. We've never seen them so long! It took us an hour to wait in the lines...our legs were so sore by the time we got to the ticket booth. I was feeling much trepidation about our tickets because I had bought them with points and only received a confirmation email with not too much direction about pickup. So with my numbers and email in hand, we showed the person at the ticket booth. As I had feared, they couldn't find any of our tickets. We were there to pick up our tickets from points and purchase the boys tickets....he looked at us and asked what our plans were. We told him we planned 3 days ... He gave us a number to call to see if we could figure out the points next week and in the meantime, "here are four 2 day complimentary park hopper tickets, go enjoy the park"
