Monday's Magical Must Do

Did you know that not only are Epcot's festivals full of amazing food, but they often have live concerts!?!

During most of the festivals they have an amazing line up of free concerts. These are all included in the cost of your park ticket. You can walk right up and see so many different artists. If you want to be guaranteed an amazing seat, they also sell dining packages that include a meal at many of the amazing Epcot restaurants and good seating!

I have had such a blast getting to see so many different artists perform at Epcot such as Joey Fatone & Friends, Switchfoot, Simple Plan, and so many more!

Friday Funday!

Advice from a Disney Kid!

Tip #23
"Get Gideons. It's delicious and the line moves pretty fast. Also, go at hot cookie hour."

We LOVE Gideons at Disney Springs. It's such a uniquely decorated shop, plus it has better cookies than I've gotten anywhere else...ever. Liam and I got to go a couple weeks ago when it was "hot cookie hour". Let me tell you, a warm freshly baked chocolate chip cookie with ice cream on top...too good for words. Liam is right, there is always a line, but it moves pretty fast. The inside of the shop is so small that not many people are inside at a time. Don't miss this one!
