We're in the middle of Day 2, in the room for Porter to nap. Since I have a little more time that last night, here are a few thoughts on our trip thus far.
1. Liberty Tree Tavern for supper was awesome!!! I was very pleased with everything there. We had salad with strawberry vinaigrette dressing (could have used a little more dressing, but at least the lettuce was fresh) and bread for appetizers. The dinner itself is served family style and included roasted pork loin, carved roast beef, and turkey breast. The sides were herb stuffing, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, green bean casserole, and steamed cauliflower. All that was just for Jared and I! We had tons left over. For dessert we had some sort of apple/raisin brownie type thing topped with a scoop of ice cream. It was very very good.
2. I think last year was easier with Porter. It may have just been that he was very tired yesterday afternoon, so the verdict is still out. He is definitely more "opinionated" about things and has meltdowns/hold-outs more. However, this year we have not had to take a bag in with us--no diapers, juice, or other things to carry. Everything we need fits in the back of the stroller in a small pouch. Now, today we could have used a spare pair of shorts and underwear for Porter because he had a tee tee accident while we were on Tom Sawyer's Island. I think he was just too busy playing and waited too late, and about the time he told me he needed to go he was pretty much going. We took off his underwear and dried his shorts a little, but they were still yucky. We tried to find a pair of shorts to buy in the park, but there were none, and by the time we realized there were none, he was asleep, so we just cancelled our lunch reservations and came back to the room for a nap.
He is a little more scared this year and more vocal about what he likes and doesn't like. He says things like, "I can't wait!" and "I want to do it again!" and actually names rides he wants to do. I think his favorite ride so far was the Buzz Lightyear ride, and I don't know about least favorite.
The funniest thing he said today, was when Jared pointed out the tea cups and said, "Do you want to go ride the tea cups." He said, "Those are p pots. That is where I came from!" Well I guess that answers that question....
Here are some pictures from today.
