Day One: Ferb I know what we are going to do today!
So, I left us off getting some breakfast at Gaston's. We were headed to use our second fast pass of the day, Big Thunder Mountain.
BTM Wagon
The wait wasn't too bad but it was just so hot today. So, while waiting we talked about the plan for the rest of the day.
Ready to Ride
Morgan wanted to go back and swim, so we decided to use our last fat pass and then head out of the park. Big Thunder was fun as always!
But we had some time to kill before our last fast pass, so what did we do? We ate more food!
Hei Hei Cone
Morgan wanted a Hei Hei Cone.
The line was a little long, and Disney took the cone off of the mobile order app, so we had to wait in line.
Double Hei Hei Cones
Since we had to wait, I decided to get one as well. I really wanted my beloved Orange Swirl Float but wasn't willing to wait in ANOTHER line.
While Morgan and I were waiting for Hei Hei's Andy and Gwen got in a different line...
Double Bacon
The candied bacon has become a staple for Andy and Gwen. And I fear for when they get rid of it.
I am SURE we sat in our secret spot, although I don't have photographic evenice of it. I think this is the time, that we found round tables in bench area, except the one with the Sorcer Mickey station. Which makes me wonder, if it was that way awhile back, and then they got ride of the tables? The tables def made it feel less "secret" Thankfully, the tables were gone this summer, so not sure what that is about.
We rested a bit and then decided to head towards our last fast pass.
Castle Show
We stopped and watched a tiny bit of this show. It is cute but it was so so so hot! And the love bugs were our in FULL force!!!! They were so so so annoying. And by now they were driving Morgan crazy!
Thugs
We headed the rest of the way over to Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and scanned in a few minutes early.
Waiting for 7DMT
And in no time we were riding.

Mine Train Ride Photo
I tried to get everyone to sway together to get the cart to sway more, and we did an ok job! And it def adds to it! Has oneone tried doing this?
M&G on 7DMT
7DMT was fun as always but too short as always.
Evil Witch
We were the first car, so I was able to get a good shot of the Evil Witch!
After our ride, we started to head out of the park.
Back of the Castle
We cut through the castle.
Castle Mosaic
And made our way to the shops. We walked through the stores to look at stuff and hide from the love bugs.
What is this love bug you are talking about?
Love Bugs
They are 2 bugs kind of stuck together, and they fly around and just get in your way and there were literally so many of them!
As we came out of the shops near the hub, I saw something that we were hoping to see and had completely forgotten about!
Phineas and Ferb!!!!
The girls LOVE P&F and watch the show all the time. So, we ran and got in line to meet them!
P&F
The line wasn't too bad, maybe 15 minutes, but the bugs were driving us crazy! But we were determined to meet them.
Phineas & Ferb!
Soon enough it was our turn!
See the hat I am holding, Morgan was swatting love bugs with it while we waited... animal lovers she is not.
Nice to Meet You
YEAH!
It was awsome to have a character meet that we were all excitied to meet. It had been awhile since there was anyone that we really wanted to meet!
Hello Hello
After everyone got there hugs in...
Family Pic with F&P
We got the main picture!!
Family Pic
It was awsome meeting them!!! And I am so glad it worked out, as I think they are gone again. Maybe they will bring them back out if the P&F movie does well on Disney+
After that, we headed out. I wish I had made us wait to meet birthday Mickey but I was trying to do what Morgan wanted to do.
We headed to the monorail to take that to EPCOT. I had suggested we ride to EPCOT and walk through the World Showcase and grab a few Flower & Garden food items as we made our way to the hotel. The girls were down with this plan ONLY because I showed them a picture of the Orange Bird Sippers!
We waited just a little bit. There was a very pregant woman waiting and she was carring a pillow with her. I felt so bad for her. She clearly had to be miserable in the heat and the fact that she needed a pillow to sit on! Oye!
We left P&F at 12:30 and were in EPCOT by 12:50! Not bad!
Flower & Garden
EPCOT Ball
Butterfly Topiary
We by passed all of the rides in the front of the park, and just checked out topiaries as we walked.
Goofy Topiary
I "forced" everyone to go into Club Cool.
Club Cool
I knew it would be closing soon and I am glad we went, because we didn't make it in on our August trip!
In the past Gwen never tried any, but she broke down this time and tried some.
Gwen actually trying some
She ended up liking the one that isn't carbonated, I think it was melon flavored?
We moved on to get some food.
Water Feature
It was hot! So I encouraged the girls to get a little wet, we would be back at the room soon enough.
But the big kids that they are, didn't want to get there shoes wet!
Water trapping the girls
And they ended up getting "stuck" in the middle! But they survived and made it out barely wet.
Finally we made it to our first stop!!!
Orange Bird Cups
Orange Bird sippers scored!!! The CM got a kick out of the girls, as they were beyond excitied about the cups. The drink inside was unfortanlty gross. It was milkshake consistancy and too heavy for the heat.
Orange Slush
I ordered the Orange Wine Slushy. And it was soooo good! I loved it. My biggest complaint? It wasn't big enough.
Lobster Tail from Citrus Blossom
Andy ordered the Lobster Tail with Meyer Lemon Emulsion and Grilled Lemon. He said it was just ok.
We got our goodies and walked and ate / drank.
But not too long, we came across another booth to try.
Beef Tenderloin Tips from Northern Bloom
Beef Tenderloin Tips, Mushroom Bordelaise Sauce, Whipped Potatoes with Garden Vegetables
Probably from the Canada booth? This was very good. And pretty sure Morgan ate a little of this as well.
Seared Scallops from Northern Bloom
So, both of these were from Northern Bloom?
Seared Scallops with French Green Beans, Butter Potatoes, Brown Butter Vinaigrette and Apple-wood Smoked Bacon
Morgan and Gwen both tried a part of a scallop and they both said they liked it but didn't love it. Andy said it was really good.
We walked and ate all of our goodies, and made our way to the International Gateway. It was time for some swimming!
Up next Swimming and rest! Exciting stuff right?
