Have you ever been to Epcot’s 𝐹𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 & 𝐺𝑎𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑛 𝐹𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑎𝑙?

This was my first time to this specific festival. The topiaries were absolutely 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠! There were so many of them - here are a few I got pictures of while visiting.

Like all other festivals, there were extra food and drink booths spread throughout the world showcase. Some of the food I was able to try from the extra stands was absolutely incredible!

As much as I enjoyed my time here, Epcot’s 𝐹𝑜𝑜𝑑 & 𝑊𝑖𝑛𝑒 𝐹𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑎𝑙 will always have my heart ❤️

Day 3 of didn’t go as we had originally planned.
Our plans were to start off at AK, spend some time there and hop on over to Epcot to tackle the showcase.
What went wrong?!
1. We lost one of us before the day began. One stayed behind for some extra sleep.
2. Fast fingers got a VQ for Guardians MUCH earlier than we ever anticipated.

So we hopped a bus and headed to AK. We rope dropped my absolute 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 ride - I had to check on my banshee! (She was good 😊) and then we took a few pics and ran out of the park! Although bus-park option is back, it doesn’t start until 10am, so we had to take a bus back to Pop and hop the skyliner to Epcot. Grabbed some Mickey waffles walking from the bus to Skyliner! It’s not a true Disney trip if you don’t have them atleast once!
We arrived, caught our VQ with time to spare and walked around wasting some time waiting for our friend to meet us. We were going to go back to AK after riding a few more rides, but we decided since we’re going to tackle the showcase, we might as well stay and take our time enjoying it. We spent the next 7 hours riding rides, exploring the buildings of the countries and eating & drinking around the world.
We were there during Epcot’s Flower & Garden festival so we had a few extra food/drink booths to enjoy. (I’ll make a seperate post of some topiaries I have pictures of because they deserve their own with their beauty!)
We succeeded in the showcase and sat on Canada’s steps to watch the firework show before heading back to the hotel for some much needed rest. Reminder, if you don’t want to open and close parks with no breaks in between, don’t travel with me 😉

Always take the girls trip.

Day 2 of
If you don’t want to rope drop 𝒂𝒏𝒅 close the park, don’t go to Disney with me 🤪

I was pumped to be so close in line for rope drop for MK. I’m going right to 7DMT so I don’t have to spend the extra money on ILL or waste time waiting in standby. We were SO close to the front. Then the heavens decided it wasn’t happening and gave us a full blown thunderstorm as we waiting for that final rope to drop. 7DMT was on a delay. So what did we rope drop you ask?! It’s A Small World 🤣
We spent the morning in on and off storms and showers throughout MK. I’ll be honest, it ruined the whole morning we had planned. We changed up our LL’s to adjust to the weather and we unfortunately ended up losing our VQ to Tron because we had hopper passes and plans for the afternoon.

As we left MK and headed to HS, the heavens decided we deserved a better afternoon & gave us the sun!
We were thankful we didn’t have to mess around with out LL and ILL to avoid weather.
We grabbed a quick lunch at Docking Bay 7. We all ordered off the kids menu 🤷🏽‍♀️ perfect size portions! In the pictures I gave a kids chicken with rice and broccoli and a hummus platter.
After that, we tackled all of Galaxy’s Edge and even had a run in with Kylo Ren!
We then tackled more of the park, snacking and drinking as we went along riding all the rides and stopping for the characters we absolutely 𝒉𝒂𝒅 to meet. Meeting characters without kids is even more fun in my opinion! They give you their attention 🤣

Our most brilliant thing we did not only this day, but out of the whole trip, was book a reservation for Oga’s Cantina after park closing.
We had a 9:40pm reservation and it was amazing. First, the staff inside was incredible. I know it’s their job, but they really didn’t care how long we stayed - we were the last ones out of the cantina. We took our time walking out of the park, taking in the beauty and taking as many empty park pictures as we could. The CM’s and security just followed behind not rushing us and offering to take pictures for us too. We were the last ones out of the park and that was a really cool experience!
We stayed at Pop, so we were on the skyliner, but by this time it was down and we had a whole bus back to the resort to ourselves! If you get the chance, take that late night reservation!

Always take the girls trip.

I promised you a little update on how our went.. I’m finally getting around to telling you!

We flew in on Tuesday and took it easy. We rented a car (as we knew we were heading to Uni and for us personally, we feel the transportation is easier when we do it on our own - plus the car rental was less for the 5 days than an Uber/Lift would be up and back 🤷🏽‍♀️) and we made a pit stop at the grocery store. We like to have some snacks and easy grab and go breakfast in the rooms.

We headed out to check out the Disney Character Warehouse at the Orlando Vineland Premium Outlets. I know this place is always hit or miss, but I was super disappointed when our visit was a big miss 😭 (except for the lounge I really wanted and now regret not buying)
We grabbed a quick lunch in the malls food court. I was SUPER excited when I spotted these Korean Corndogs! I’ve seen them all over TikTok but I’ve never seen them at home. I chose cheese and potato and cheese and flaming hot Cheetos. If you ever run into them, TRY THEM!

After heading back to the resort, we freshened up and headed to Disney Springs for the night.
We had dinner reservations at City Works Eatery. This place was amazing! First, they had a 96oz Mule available. You bet we ordered (and finished) that! To be honest though, it was eh.
Two of us had the Ahi Tuna Chopped Salad, one had the Grilled Chicken Sandwich and one had the Salmon.
We had an allergy friend in this group, she cannot have any dairy. Every single place we visited on our trip was super knowledgeable about what she can and can not have. Peep the little allergy flag on her plate.
We ended our evening at Raglan Road Irish Pub for a few night caps before heading back to the resort to prepare for our crazy days ahead.

Always take the girls trip.

Alright - I did the heavy work for you!
I checked on Mickey & his friends along with Harry & his friends, too! (I brought some of my friends along!)

Mickey & Harry told me they want you to come see them! What are you waiting for?!

Follow along as I show you my 6 day journey to Orlando. In those 6 days I visited Disney Springs, Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure & City Walk!
I closed all 6 of those parks in 4 days, completed an Epcot challenge and was escorted out of Hollywood Studios! Don’t worry, I was escorted out with my friends because we were literally the last people out of the park 🙌🏼

When it comes to a trip to Disney, everyone automatically thinks about Magic Kingdom 🏰
You get the castle, the princesses, the fireworks, the egg roll cart (IYKYK 🤤), the old school rides and of course the brand new Tron!

But me? When I think of Disney, I get most excited for Animal Kingdom! 🌳
The Tree of Life is my kind of castle! You can find your usual characters there as well, but you can also find Kevin walking the park, or you may see Russel & Dug or even Pocahontas riding in the river boats! You scream while riding away from a Yeti and you can fly your banshee into the beautiful sights and smells of Pandora!

I mean c’mon! Look at this night shot of a part of Pandora and tell me it doesn’t make you smile!
