We had a great time this weekend at the Gaylord Texan for Fun with Shrek and Friends. I entered a contest with Fort Worth Child Magazine and WON!!! They called me last week and yesterday after work off we went…..
If you are attending Blissdom 2013 this is where you’ll be! The Gaylord is HUGE! Like so big you’ll need a map to get around. It’s a super nice hotel with lots of great restaurants. Everything is right there so you’ll hardly have to leave. If you aren’t getting a room parking is $17 a day…just FYI. If you have a room parking is free with your room card. The amenities are great and the food is wonderful, but I’d say the average plate at each restaurant is around $15-$20. So unless you plan on driving off the grounds or bringing snacks plan to budget for food.
Okay so here is a recap of our trip (Prepare for picture overload!)
The view from our room. Last night they had an amazing fireworks show we could see from our balcony.
A statue…no wait he’s real! This dude was funny he would scare little girls and jump up really fast.
They also had a huge train set in the atrium. Connor was obsessed with the trains.
This morning we all got up and got ready for breakfast with Shrek and Friends
The breakfast buffet was amazing! Complete with everything you could ask for including a made to order omelet bar.
Looks like a wonderful trip! We have a Gaylord nearby in Maryland and I’ve heard great things about staying there. Your son is adorable, by the way, love his beautiful curls. 🙂
I plan on attending Blissdom next year, so I appreciate the detailed explanation and pictures! The breakfast bar looks pretty darn good – minus the green “shrekky” drink!
It looks like you had an AWESOME time!! I am {hopefully} going to Blissdom13! See you there?
my boys would have LOVED that! How fun!
What fun!!!! I especially love the Shrek waffles 🙂
