An Evening at Animal Kingdom [continued] - (Day 4, Part 5 - Sunday, September 2nd) My thoughts on the show: it was pretty. It was not particularly memorable. I haven't felt the urge to really put effort into chasing down the soundtrack - I did a cursory hunt on Youtube when we got home and...

Animal Kingdom After Dark (Day 4, Part 4 - Sunday, September 2nd) Returning to the park around 7:30, we headed straight to Pandora for our second ride on Flight of Passage, this time via the Fastpass line. As I mentioned before, the Fastpass queue is not nearly as interesting as the standby...

The Downpour to End All Downpours (Day 4, Part 3 - Sunday, September 2nd) Here we are, ready to head in to Up! A Great Bird Adventure: Don't get me wrong, I like Up. In fact, I even skipped my high school senior prom (for a number of reasons) and ended up seeing that movie with my friends who...

I feel reasonably confident saying that a 2 hour wait in that queue wouldn't be completely unbearable...there's so much to look at! Even outside in the winding queue among the rocks, the plants are so pretty and different. My tip to avoid that two hour standby is to do what we did - pick a...

I am SO SORRY that I abandoned you all for so long! I just kind of lost the motivation to write for a while. In mid-December, I was rear-ended at a stoplight, hard enough to hit the car in front of me, and causing my car that I'd owned a whole SIX MONTHS to be at the repair shop for seven very...

"Sit down RIGHT NOW!" (Day 4, Part 2 - Sunday, September 2nd) We cruised through the Fastpass line at Kilimanjaro Safari but with the ECV, had to wait for the wheelchair accessible truck. It's always a little mind boggling to me how you never really think about the number of scooters and...

Thank you! More Pandora pics to come - we went back around dusk for our FoP FP+ and again after dark just to explore!

Exploring Pandora: The World of Avatar (Day 4, Part 1 - Sunday, September 2nd) When we first started planning this trip, the hours for Animal Kingdom were 9am-8pm but as time went on they were extended to 8am-10pm. I'd never been to this park after dark so I was pretty excited! I had watched...

Day 3, Part 2 continued (Saturday, September 1st) Love montage AND AT LAST I SEE THE LIIIIIIIGHT Pirates of the Caribbean Villains? This is absolutely the battle of Simba and Scar “Remember…who you are…” I think we’re into the finale now: OK, one shot I still...

Day 3, Part 2 (Saturday, September 1st) In the evening, we were set to go to Magic Kingdom for the Happily Ever After Dessert Party with Plaza Gardens viewing. I had last done the dessert party in 2015, when the only viewing available was at Tomorrowland Terrace, and enjoyed it – my friend and...

Yes, I always recommend registering them through the website - it will keep up to 5 at a time on your account and you can transfer balances very easily that way. I mean, I kind of get it. It's an anonymous thing so people don't feel bad about using what isn't theirs. I lost a camera at Fort...

Day 3, Part 1 (Saturday, September 1st) Saturday morning we were up and ready to roll for park opening at Epcot! Our first stop of the day was Test Track, because we had a Fastpass for Frozen Ever After. We arrived at the park just a few minutes before the touchstiles opened. I have to take a...

This was dinner. It was a Halloween party night, but before the party started (5:20 reservation). I don't know if they have similar desserts nightly during the fall season or just party days.

“Yes, I’ve actually seen this show probably at least 50 times!” (Day 2, Part 2 – Friday, August 31st) We headed back to the park in the evening, and I did NOT miss the turn on to World Drive this time! Looks like we were walking in right around 7:35, according to the time stamp on my photo...

Yes, we were very lucky they could give us a new one because we would have accomplished absolutely nothing other than going back to the hotel and back to bed if they couldn't. Mom can't walk more than about 100 feet at most without pain. The car to the hotel room in the afternoon was about all...

Nope, not super uncommon. I will even say that I have traveled with just male friends (NOT my boyfriends in either case) and people tended to act like we were a couple. Photopass photographers REALLY like to ask you to kiss when you're with someone of the opposite sex. Even better is when at a...

Oh! I just realized I forgot to include the cute little side story of what happened as I was leaving Space Mountain! As you may or may not know, the regular exit line is currently closed for refurbishment, so the current set up has you exiting the building to outside and going allllll the way...

RIGHT?! She's usually quite a night owl when she doesn't have to be to work at 6am. She said the travel and the meds she takes for flying made her tired. I did! I can see how it might not be practical due to cost for a whole family but for 1-2 people I thought it was pretty great. Alpha is...

Super Creepy Splash Mountain (Day 1, Part 3 – Thursday, August 30th) As it was now rapidly approaching 9pm I hustled my way over to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad to start Disney After Hours. Happily Ever After started while I was walking and I honestly got chills. I LOVED Wishes and I still...
