Girls Weekend 2009 part 1
The girls and I spent a long weekend with Becky and her two girls. We had a lot of good "girl time" and it included lots of shopping, eating and walking. Stayed overnight at Port Orleans French Quarter which is right near Downtown Disney, location of aforementioned shopping, eating and walking.
One of the coolest things about Disney is that you are never at a loss for things to look at. It is a true feast for the eyes and no detail is overlooked, right down to the hitching posts that are on the miniature streets between buildings at the resort. As Becky pointed out, "there is no reason for those to be there, that's just for you." We got a kick out of the street signs. We stayed on the corner of Rue D' Baga and Cake Walk. The girls loved the not-so-hidden Mickey that we found on the bed in our room, made out of towels, naturally.
Keeping with the New Orleans theme, the restaurant where we ate breakfast was draped in an explosion of Mardi Gras favors and icons. Large crowns, masks, necklaces and playing cards were only a few of the oversized wall and ceiling hangings. They had some really awesome coffee there! Not Cafe du Monde but the beignets were surely delish.
