Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
Magic Kingdom - WDW

I am obsessed with this ride! Disney did an amazing job with the animatronics and queue! I am so excited for the ride to open in Disneyland, CA. on November 15, 2024!

We were able to ride Tiana’s with no wait using MultiPass (previously genie+) but you can also ride it via a virtual queue. There is no standby line yet but when it opens this ride is definitely worth waiting for!

Day 10
Hollywood Studios & Epcot

9:00am - We took a boat from our resort to Hollywood Studios. This is my favorite form of transportation.

We purchased multi passes this day. I pre-booked Slinky Dog Dash for 9:30a, (this was my moms first time riding) Toy Story Midway Mania for 10:30a, and Tower of Terror for 12p. We also had lunch dining reservations at Round up Rodeo for 12:35pm.

After lunch we took a break at the resort and then hopped over to Epcot using the Skyliner.

We had single passes booked at Epcot for Guardians of the Galaxy again. It is my favorite ride! I also booked lightning lanes for Soarin and The Seas with Nemo & Friends.

We checked out the new Moana area and had dinner reservations at Garden Grill for 7:00pm. This restaurant is family style meal with characters. I definitely will be going back here. The character interaction was amazing!

Day 9
Animal Kingdom & Magic Kingdom

Today we had multipass which allows you to bypass the regular ride lines. Because we were staying at a Disney Resort we were able to book our Lightning lanes 7 days in advance. We booked the Safari ride for 9am, Navi River Journey for 10a and expedition Everest at 11a. We also purchased a separate single pass for Flight of Passage for $13 per person! So we had all of our must do rides lined up for the day.

I also enjoyed a Night Blossom at Pongu Pongu in World Of Avatar! 10/10

At 12:35pm we had lunch dining reservations at Tusker House. This is a buffet with characters. Such a good time!

Then we hopped over to Magic Kingdom after a few hours break at the hotel.

We did Pirates of the Caribbean (2x)and did Space Mountain using lightning lane. I was able to book Lightning lanes for Magic Kingdom at Animal Kingdom because we had hopper passes. It was fun to see Magic Kingdom all decorated for Halloween!

We utilized the bus transportation to both parks today.

Day 8
Ohanas, Pool, Boardwalk

11:30a - Slept in and headed to Ohanas for breakfast at the Polynesian Resort. We took a Lyft to get there. ($10) I will make a separate post about Ohanas but it’s a family style character breakfast with all you care to enjoy food.

Then we toured the Grand Floridian and had to stop at Basin White to get some bath soaps. Highly recommend!

1:00pm - Took complimentary transportation back to Beach Club and it took about 90 minutes. Utilizing monorail, bus and Skyliner.
It was really hot so this wasn’t the best option for us. We should of just paid for a Lyft.

3:00pm - Pool time at the resort. There is a lazy river and zero depth entry sand pool.

6:00pm - Seafood Buffet Dinner on the resort at Cape May Cafe. Definitely recommend 10/10.

8:00pm - Took the boat from our resort to the Boardwalk. I absolutely love it here! Entertainment, shopping, restaurants, and movie in the grass. Such a fun atmosphere! I wanted to spend more time here but we all needed rest for Animal Kingdom the next day and the last boat left at 9:30pm.

Day 7
Epcot & Hollywood Studios

9:00am - We started out the day rope dropping Epcot. It was a 5 minute walk from our hotel and we got right in line for Remys Ratatouille. It was about 30 minute wait. Then we spent some time walking through some of the countries on our way to the Frozen ride. Most things didn’t open until 11:00am so we got some coffee and enjoyed the light morning crowds.

10:15am - Got in line for Frozen. Another 30 minute wait. The weather was amazing so it wasn’t bad standing in line.

Next we went to Mexico and did the Grand Fiesta Tour and got some chips and guacamole. So good!

1:00pm - Lunch at Sunshine Seasons. I got the gluten free salmon and broccoli with rice.

Went back to the resort for a few hours to relax.

3:00pm- Took the Skyliner to Hollywood Studios

4:30pm - Dinner at 50’s Prime Time Cafe. We did the Fantasmic dinner package to have reserved seating. Such a cute and fun place. Highly recommend.

7:00pm - Drinks at Oga’s Cantina.

9:00pm - Fantasmic - we got reserved seating with our dinner package at 50’s Prime Time. 100% worth it!

18/08/2024

Thursday night we checked into the Beach Club Resort for 5 nights. This resort is only a 5 minute walk to Epcot and 15 minute walk to Hollywood Studios. You can also walk to the Skyliner. This resort has one of the best pools on the Disney property and is directly across from the Boardwalk.

After we checked in to the resort my mom arrived to join us on the next part of our trip. We ate dinner at on property restaurant called Beaches & Cream. It was very good.

We also had another grocery delivery from Walmart.
