Bread with the Brisels

We're a little bit behind in posting, but today I'm sharing our day 6 recap to our Disney World trip! Today we went to...Animal Kingdom!  I love an Animal Kingdom park day following a rest day. Animal Kingdom has lots of opportunities for animal viewing, and the animals are most active during the morning. It's a great idea to start your day at Animal Kingdom early to maximize your animal viewing opportunities.  On this day we were up and on our way around 8:00. We had a lightning pass for the Nav'i River Journey beginning at 8:05. This ride is located in the Pandora section of the park and it is truly amazing. There are lots of floating mountains, water features, and fun details throughout. Although the boys had zero frame of reference about the movie, we enjoyed the ride and some breakfast before heading to... Festival of the Lion King! Truly - this show is worth the cost of your park admission alone. We loved the songs and the dances, and Sammy was thrilled with the f...

Rest days are a necessity for any Disney vacation, no matter the length of your trip. 😉 We have been pushing it and hoofing it all over Disney World, so we were overdue! Our plans today included a character breakfast with Minnie and her friends, spending time at the pool, and a character dinner at 1900 Park Fare.  Both boys slept in until 7:00 which was amazing! We got dressed and ready and began our way towards Cape May Cafe located at The Beach Club Resort. We took the Skyliner from our resort to the International Gateway at Epcot. From there, we had about a 5 minute walk to our restaurant. Super easy!  This character meal is one of the lesser known options for character dining. We've done character dining at Topolino's Terrace (amazing!), Tusker House and Chef Mickey's, so we were excited to try something different. Minnie, Daisy, Donald and Goofy are all dressed in their beach attire, and make their way around the restaurant several times. You're also able to do a ...

Today was SUCH a fun day! Today we went to Hollywood Studios (formerly known as MGM) and had the very best time. Here's the recap. 😊 Last night we told Sammy to try his best to sleep in, as we didn't have any early lightning lane reservations booked. Well, both boys were up by 6:15, so we decided to start our day early.  We got showered, cleaned up and organized, and were walking into Hollywood Studios right around 9:00AM. Of all of the parks, Hollywood Studios is the Disney park that we are the least familiar with. We had some great things booked and were excited to meet the most of our day.  The boys started out with "Star Wars: The Adventure Continues." It was a virtual experience that simulated flight with all of the Star Wars characters. Sammy did not enjoy this ride, so we decided to skip rider swap. While Sammy and Dustin did this experience... I took Jack to meet Daisy. He was SO EXCITED! He did not want to stand right n ext to Daisy but he loved blowing her ...
