Florida - Day 4

It rained a lot today and we kept checking the Disney app when we could, and for the morning, the ride lines seemed reasonable.  It is supposed to be rainy at the start of tomorrow and then dry off in the afternoon, so hopefully that allows us to get some rides in early in the morning before the crowds really arrive.

We started the morning at a local church and then returned to the resort for a quick lunch, after which we headed to a small military museum in Kissimmee for Alex.  On the way there, we stopped and picked up some Christmas donuts at a nearby Krispy Kreme, which Sandra really wanted to try.

The museum was small, but had a good amount of interesting things to see, including a couple of Jeeps and a German Jeep (Kubelwagen).  It was also empty of people, which is the only time this trip that we will see that.  Heck, we stood in a decently long line for the donuts.

We then drove over to Disney Springs, which is a shopping area that Disney built on their property.  It's in the park area, but open to anyone, and it was crowded, even with the rain, which was on and off the entire time we were there.

We took the kids into a Marvel store (where they had to buy a build your own Infinity Gauntlet) and then a Star Wars store (where they had to buy a build your own lightsaber) and then a LEGO store (where they had to buy LEGO).  Of course, that was all of their demands to buy.  In the end, they only purchased some LEGO, as did I.  The statues going into the LEGO store, of Elsa, Anna and Olaf were very well done.

After spending some time in a very busy Disney store, we made our way to the end of shopping area, where there was a Christmas tree walk.  Each tree was decorated with a theme from a specific Disney movie, and it was a nice walk, even though it was raining quite hard by this point.  They also had a Santa you could have your picture taken with, but there was a 450 minute wait.  Ah, Disney.

After that, we found the ticket office where we picked up our Magic Kingdom tickets for tomorrow and then drove back to the resort for supper and to try and get the kids into bed early, since we plan on being at Magic Kingdom when it opens tomorrow.
