Disney World: Day 3 Recap

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!

Friday Favorites [3-1-2024]

It's Friday and I'm here sharing my favorites from the week. As usual, I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika . Here we go! My very first favorite is that Jack is 9 months old today! I can't believe he's been "out" for as long as I was pregnant with him. 😊 He is the happiest little baby, and we just can't imagine life without him. I shared a little monthly update on the blog today as well. Another favorite is that Sammy lost his second tooth over the weekend. He pulled it out himself! I told him that pretty soon he won't have any teeth left. 😉 An easy sheet meal dinner was perfect for our Wednesday night. I took some italian chicken sausage, sweet potato gnocchi, and green beans, plus a little olive oil and seasonings and roasted it up for about 20 minutes. Sammy loves chicken sausages, so a fuss-free dinner is always a win in my book. We put out some St. Patrick's Day books over the weekend and have been enjoying reading them. I keep a...

Friday Favorites [4-5-2024]

Hello, Friday. It's always nice to see you. 😉 I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some favorites from my week. Here we go! My first favorites are these sweet Easter pictures. We had a fun weekend celebrating! I love any reason for my little boys to get dressed up and get a cute picture. 😉 Another favorite on April 1st was celebrating Jack's 10 month birthday! I can't believe in two months he will be one. I loved this picture showing off his top two teeth. 3 years ago, my family was at one of our favorite places...Disney World! We went to Florida over Easter in 2021 with my extended family and it was a fun little trip. This trip was rescheduled from March of 2020, and I love seeing all of the memories from our trip. Sammy looks SO LITTLE. In this picture we were riding Dumbo. I remember that Sammy got off the ride and promptly asked to go again. Haha. We made my Easy Weeknight Tostadas on Tuesday of this week ...

Friday Favorites [5-3-2024]

Yay! It's Friday and it's the month of MAY! Both of those things are very good things in my book. Today I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some favorites from the week. On Monday I shared that we had a busy weekend! My mom and I hosted a Bridal Shower for my sweet cousin Caitlin, and then our new niece and nephew were baptized on Sunday. It was a fun (but tiring) way to spend the weekend! Jack especially loved all of the family time, and was happy to sneak in some giggles with Great Grandma before the shower began. 😉 We whipped up these Burrito Bowls for dinner one night this week, and it was a new favorite. It was such an easy meal that Dustin and I both loved! It's May, which means that it's time for me to read "Charlotte's Web" to my class. I read it every year during the month of May! This book has seen much better years - I think it's time for a new copy. Haha. The boys and I love to play in the basement...
