ESPN ZONE


Kaden's 10th birthday ended with a bang.  The only way we could get Kaden to go on Space Mountain was by promising him that we would go to ESPN ZONE for his birthday dinner.  When we finally got done with Disneyland we walked all the way to the end of Downtown Disney and were starving by the time we got there only to be told that there was a 1 hour 45 minute wait.  Kaden was dead set on going so we went upstairs to the arcade and played A LOT of video games to pass the time.  We also got to watch Trav on TV - he was in Utah for the JAZZ/CELTICS game and he was on TV quite a bit (I will save that for another post - he got some great pictures).  All in all the wait wasn't too bad - note to all popular restaurants out there you can make A LOT of money by putting in some arcade games for the kids to pay while the parents wait to be seated -  After the wait ended we got down to the restaurant part to be seated.  After waiting all that time we were really excited to eat.  Unfortunately the food was not good.  I think they don't have to worry about repeat customers because they get so much business from Disneyland.  By that time, everyone was too tired to eat so we ate fast and headed home.  It was a lesson learned.  As we were walking to our car I asked Kaden if he thought it was worth the wait - he looked at me like I was crazy and said "yes" and looked at me like I was crazy.  I guess I was.  If you think about it, we had a blast playing the games watching Trav in TV and rounding out a great day at Disneyland.
