Today we took our little world travelers to...Epcot!
I know that I said yesterday that Magic Kingdom was our favorite park, but today has me reconsidering that statement. We love all of the...well, magic of Magic Kingdom, but we totally appreciate the laid back atmosphere of Epcot. Epcot is truly for strolling, enjoying food and drinks, and taking in the sights and rides. As much as we love being "go, go, go," at the parks, today was a nice balance of moving a little bit slower!
Jack and I had a slower morning while Dustin and Sammy got going early. We did not have any lightning lanes booked for the Ratatouille ride in the France pavilion, and it is the ride that Sammy was most excited to ride. So, off they went to try to be the first in line. The thing is, about 300+ other people had the exact same thought as they did. Haha.
The boys finally got on Ratatouille and Jack and I met up with them afterwards. Jack and I walked right upon them...
...meeting Daisy. 😊
We rode "Finding Nemo," and "Frozen Ever After" before heading to wait for our lunch reservation in Italy.
Dustin and I took a photo for a couple on their honeymoon and were reminded of our own honeymoon 8 years ago. Dustin and I then promptly decided we were taking a trip to Disney just the two of us as soon as the boys graduate from high school. 😂
We had an exceptional experience today with the allergy chef. He met us at the door and let me know that they were expecting us, and already had a list of what would be considered "safe" for Jackson. They got Jack's food made right away, and he was SO EXCITED to eat his spaghetti. Both boys were able to have gelati for dessert and Jack kept signing "more." It's not often that Jack can eat something just like the rest of us, so when he can, we are extremely grateful.
Dustin and I enjoyed our lunch cocktails. Lunch cocktails are sometimes necessary when wrangling a toddler covered in bubble solutions. 😉
After lunch, we divided and conquered again. Dustin had a lightning lane for "Guardians of the Galaxy" and the boys and I were toast. We went back to the resort and napped for about 2 hours before heading back into the park for the evening.
We met Dustin at the "hub" for Skyliner transportation, and he continued onwards with us to Epcot again. We were excited to see "Journey of Water" which is an experience inspired by the movie "Moana." It was SO GOOD. Truly, it made all the work of getting the boys back to the park worth it.
We walked through the experience, Dustin grabbed us caramel treats from Germany while I grabbed us poutine from Canada, and we met back up in the middle to head back to our resort.
Tomorrow we plan to head to Hollywood Studios!
