mickeysgirlz · 05-04-2009

We're Back! And WOW what a weekend!

Cast:
Me
DD9
DD5
My DF and her DD8 & DD4

PLUS our Brownie troop and their families

Our GS Troop SOLD enough cookies to take a weekend trip to
The Nick Hotel in Orlando!

We did a build-a-buddy event, We got SLIMED, and had a beach party bash with Spongebob and Patrick!

OF COURSE being ONE MILE from Disney,
you KNOW I couldn't resist a visit!

So this will be a Nick/Disney TR!

Friday we left Palm Beach, and were in WDW in NO TIME FLAT*!

We could see the Characters in Flight Balloon from Osceola PKWY!

We spent the afternoon/evening at Magic Kingdom. We were with friends that hadn't see a lot of the new attractions.

A beautiful day at MK!

It's GREAT because once the floats stop, you can dance and interact with the characters.

Once the show was over, we headed to Cosmic Rays for some dinner! Man was I bummed not to be on the DDP!

But we had a good meal with entertainment of course!

Or plan included taking the boat to Ft. Wilderness to meet Chip and Dale! They are my DF's DD4's FAVORITE . . . and since we couldn't get ressies at GG, I thought this would be just as fun! And it was . . .

DD9 spotted this "hidden Mickey" on our way out of Cosmic Rays.
It was a tree that had a branch cut, not sure if it was intended or not?

My review:

The Nick Hotel was a fun place to stay. The room was big enough for a family of 4 (six was tight) there was plenty to do on site, but a lot of it you had to pay extra for. There was a food court with subway and pizza hut. Also two sit down dining areas (kids under 5 ate free!)

The pool was huge, with a great slide BUT it was PACKED. So it was a little unnerving when you have small kids . . . since they could easily get lost!

The life guards were there, but they were NOT like Disney guards, who keep moving around the pool and are very focused on their jobs!

There were also a few mix ups with check in and dining . . . but again I was dealing with a party of 30! So, it's to be expected I guess.

For the price ($163/night) if you are going to Disney, I would get a suite on property (The Nick Hotel is about a 10 minute drive from MK, really close).

This place was FUN, but once I used the pool, met Spongebob and got slimed . . . I was ready to check out!

It really made me appreciate how well Disney takes care of it's guests!
