Day Five


Day five is another park hopping day with the opportunity of extra magic hours at the Magic Kingdom I can’t resist a trip to hopefully get some shots on Main Street without the crowds.

As New Fantasyland has been toured in depth, this morning will start with Haunted Mansion and then Pirates. Unfortunately the Jungle Cruise is closed, insert massive unhappy face right here right now!

Lunch is going to be over at EPCOT and I am trying out Teppan Edo. I have heard really good things about this place and the menu reads really well. Plus it makes really good value on the dining plan as you all know I like to get the highest cost meals to really make the dining plan work! No doubt I will hit some character meet and greets and try to catch some good interactions before walking back to the monorail.

One thing this trip I am also trying to do is eat more at the resorts, especially counter service so today I will be trying out Gasparilla Grill over at the Grand Floridian. I love just sitting in this resort and relaxing and have already eaten in two of their eateries but this will be a new addition. Tonight also sees the first time I will be able to properly see wishes from my favourite personal spot on Main Street.

Bye bye day five!

Day Four


So day four is going to be a look out of the window and see what the weather is doing. I have scheduled a day at blizzard beach, as I have yet to enjoy this fabulous water park. If the weather is good I will be there for opening if not I will just hit Magic Kingdom for an hour or so before going round Downtown Disney for an hour and indulging in a delicious sandwich from the Earl of Sandwich.

Then it will see my first trip to EPCOT and a must will be Spaceship Earth as it is closing for a week refurb so will be cool to see the before and after! No doubt Test Track will keep me occupied for awhile, as another attraction I haven’t seen since it had its refresh and Tron-ification. Again another first is dinner, Garden Grill. I have made this ADR so many trips before and for some strange reason always cancelled. This time I am standing firm and I will be enjoying the twirling restaurant and its family style offering.


How best to end the evening than Illuminations. This is my favourite of the three firework spectaculars at WDW and I have reserved viewing somewhere over by the Morocco pavilion.

So day four is over. The holiday is going far too quickly!
