Nick Hotel and Downtown Disney

On our second night, we went to Downtown Disney (I love that place) and went to Rainforest Cafe. It was Thanksgiving weekend, and most of the other restaraunts around Disney World were all booked up. We were very happy that they were taking walkups, and we didn't even have to wait that long. Just looked around stores for about a half hour until we were seated.
The Oasis waterslide and pool located just outside our room.
We tried to tell the kids that they would have PLENTY of time to get to play in the sand, but since the days were pretty breezy, only Courtney ventured into the pool for a little bit. Here they are playing in the sand by our room.




Before the cruise, we stayed at the Nick Hotel for two nights. We figured it was our only chance to stay there. The waterslides looked really cool, but our kids never wanted to go up in them since the weather in Florida at that time was particularly chilly and very breezy. They had more fun playing in the sand at the pool that was closer to our room.
The hotel itself, was ok....even though it was a 2 bedroom family suite, it was still a little cramped for us. At least our room location was by the "quiet" pool. The walls were still pretty thin. We heard people being noisy and going past the room alot during the night, of course we crashed early after a long travel day.
At one point during the night, I heard a baby crying and thought it was Chase and had Jared go in and check on him. It was a baby crying next door, but it sounded like it was right in the kids' room. It didn't last long at all, and we were so tired, we were not woken by it.

looks fun! Good thing I was not there because I hate Noisy Rooms. I would have got my money back. That is way we like Condos. What about the CRUISE?

Well, I knew it was a noisy place from the reviews, but thought the kids would like it. It was only for 2 nights before cruising, so it could have been worse---now if it was after the cruise, we would have been in trouble.
