Had a fabulous trip to Disneyworld this past weekend, I wish we could have stayed longer!
We got in Thursday night and picked up our rental car:
We were staying at the Animal Kingdom Lodge, and I’m always staying in disney resorts from now on, it was awesome. The 2nd pic is the view from our balcony.
That night we went to Downtown Disney and had a late dinner. Friday, we went to Animal Kingdom in the morning..
We mostly just went on the safari, ate breakfast, then wandered around a little and found a few characters to get our pics with.
Then we headed to our fav park, Epcot!!
We had lunch at one of our fav places, the Rose & Crown:
It warmed up enough that we were able to take our jackets off, yay! We spent most of the day walking around, waiting on our Fastpass ticket for Soarin later that afternoon and our dinner reservations at 8.
>We met Stitch, Alice, Mary Poppins, Aurora, and Beast:
We had dinner in France, unfortunately missing the fireworks, but the food was good 🙂 After that we were so tired, and the weather had turned so cold, that we decided to head on back to the hotel instead of taking advantage of our extra magic hours and riding Test Track.
The next morning we went to Magic Kingdom! 😀 We went straight to Haunted Mansion, and on the way there saw Tiana! She was probably my fav. character we met, she was awesome.
Then we found the line for Rapunzel and got pics with her…
We headed over to Hollywood Studios to meet Markus and Andrea, had lunch, and went on the Backlot Tour.
We rode Star Tours twice, and Tower of Terror (Chase was very nice to ride it with me, he didn’t want to!). We walked through One Man’s Dream and I loved the models… I’m not going to post them all but here’s a couple.
We met Mike Wazowski, too:
Had dinner at the Sci-Fi Dine-In, then we headed over to Magic Kingdom for a while, but not before Chase forgot his stuff in his locker and we had to go back! We rode Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters and went to Monsters Inc Laugh Floor which was hilarious. Then we headed back because it was REALLY cold, it had stayed cold all day. Chase had to buy a hoodie and I had to get gloves and a scarf!
Castle pics that night:
The next day was all Magic Kingdom!! The weather was PERFECT that day, wish it had been like that all weekend!
Best breakfast:
We met Buzz Lightyear, and Jasmine and Aladdin!
Then the photopass guy very kindly told us where to find Ariel, so I finally got my pic with Ariel! 😀 (And Eric!)
Then we had lunch at Tony’s, which was fun. We had a great view outside and watched Snow White and Mary Poppins taking pics with people.
We headed next door and got our pics with Aurora, Belle and Cinderella! So glad to finally have Cinderella and ballgown Belle!
We shopped a bit and watched the parade, then it was time to go 🙁
Pins I got this time:
Our flight wasn’t until 8 that night, but we headed on to the airport, returned the car and checked out the Universal store! (Harry Potter stuff!!) We ate dinner and headed on home. Got home around midnight.
Had a hard time readjusting to the real world… when we can we go back??
Here’s our whole set on smugmug.
