This past weekend we had so much fun staying at Opryland Hotel and hanging out with Shrek & friends. DreamWorks Experience at Gaylord Hotels sure does bring a great time for families.
When we arrived to check in at the hotel, we were greeted with fun activities and packets for the kids to enjoy.
We quickly dropped our stuff off in our hotel room and headed to meet Alex the lion. My youngest {who is 3} wasn’t too sure about being all close and personal to Alex but my 6 year old was all over the idea.
One of our favorite things of the weekend was the Delta Riverboat Cruise we took. If you’ve never been to Opryland Hotel in Nashville, yes, that’s right, there is a river and a boat tour through the hotel. Amazing huh?
We let the boys pick where they wanted to have dinner. Of course they chose pizza. The food from Paisano’s was amazing. We all had pizza {except my husband who had a calzone}, salad, and amazing dessert {the boys chose chocolate cake and we chose tiramisu}.
After dinner, we headed over to the DJ Party with Shrek, Fiona, and Puss In Boots. Puss In Boots was the highlight of the trip for both boys. They made crafts, danced, ate Ogre snacks and juice, and we watched Shrek 2.
When the boys went to bed, my husband and I sat on our balcony and did some people watching. The balcony rooms at Opryland Hotel are fantastic. It’s a must for each of our visits there.
The next morning, room service was delivered and it was Shrek themed. Oh my! The question is “What didn’t come with this breakfast?” There was SO much food and it was so yummy. We ate eggs, Shrek shaped waffles and pancakes, sausage, bacon, fruit, pastries, breakfast potatoes, and had green Shrek orange juice, milk, and apple juice. It was fantastic!
The boys were SO sad when we had to check out. They asked if we could do this again soon and my answer? “Of course!”
So, coming this Spring is another event with DreamWorks Experience. You and your family definitely don’t want to miss out on this. What all is included? When is it? Lets get to the details {so you can head over and register today!}
