    • A Day at Animal Kingdom

      Posted at 4:18 pm by taryngirl, on August 4, 2021

      5/16/2021

      Our plan on this day was to get to the bus stop earlyyyy. Mission accomplished, and we were off the bus at 7:15 a.m. for an 8:00 a.m. opening. Here you can see the crowd level at this point.

      Tree of Life

      Since I don’t ride Avatar: Flight of Passage, I went directly to Na’vi River Journey by myself. I was maybe 10-15 people deep in line at 7:30 a.m. They didn’t open the ride until 7:48 a.m.

      Everyone else in our party went to Flight of Passage and were on and off the ride before 8:00 a.m.

      While I was waiting for them to get off of the ride, I headed to Pongu Pongu Lounge to get a refreshing Night Blossom beverage.

      This drink gets a 10/10 in our family! The flavors are wonderful, and it’s so refreshing on a hot day. I don’t love boba balls, by my daughter does! Also, this stand has some quick options for breakfast, but we did not try any of them.

      Next we headed for the Kiliminjaro Safari. We were in line at 8:30 a.m. with a 30 minute posted wait time. Actual wait time was 23 minutes.

      After exiting the Safari, we checked out Zuri Sweets Shop, which has some amazing desserts at the counter. Here are just the cupcakes!

      We took a bathroom and snack break here, sitting in Harambe Market area. My daughters also took this time to take some photos with amazing back drops.

      Next we went to Kali River Rapids. It was 9:50 a.m. with a 15 minute wait posted. After that, we headed to Expedition Everest which also had a 15 minute wait posted. We also watched It’s Tough to be a Bug and the Winged Encounters bird show.

      We had dining reservations for lunch at Yak & Yeti and went there next. See my next post for a full review of one of our favorite places to eat!

      The last thing we did was watch the Festival of the Lion King, which had just started showing!

      It was so good to finally welcome this show back. You could tell the cast was so happy to perform again! Although it is altered slightly, it was still amazing!

      After this show, we shopped and headed back to the resort to swim and rest.

      Up next…Lunch Dining Review at Yak& Yeti!

    • A Morning at Magic Kingdom Touring Plan

      Posted at 12:33 pm by taryngirl, on January 7, 2021

      11/15/2020

      Our plan for this day was to check out of Bay Lake Tower, giving our luggage to Bell Services to transfer over to Boulder Ridge Villas, and then head to Magic Kingdom. We woke up at 6 a.m., dropped luggage at 6:45 a.m., and went to Contempo Cafe to Mobile Order our breakfast. All orders had to be mobile ordered. There was no walk up. They had a cast member sitting at the entrance who checked for your name on the list and then directed you to pick up your order based on a numbered spot.

      Anyway, we had planned to walk to Magic Kingdom, but decided to take the monorail instead since we were right there. We arrived at Magic Kingdom at 7:45 a.m. The gates were open already.

      Here you can see the markers on the ground and signage with virus precautions.
      Everything decorated for Christmas!
      They also had Cast Members standing around the hub with signs.
      The castle has had a makeover since I’ve been there last!

      Since there were no Fastpasses, we had to prioritize what we really wanted to ride since we had no idea how crowds and lines would be. We went directly to 7 Dwarfs Mine Train. We were in line by 7:55 a.m. with a 40 minute wait time posted. We got on the ride at 8:28 a.m., so it went slightly faster than what was posted. I have only ever stood in the standby line for this ride one other time! We ALWAYS have a Fastpass. So imagine my surprise when the end of the line was all the way back near Dumbo!

      End of the line for Mine Train!

      Because the markers on the ground are every 6 feet, this greatly stretched out the line. We basically kept moving the entire time without stopping.

      Plexiglass barriers up within the queue.

      Next up was Peter Pan! We were in line by 8:32 a.m. with a 15 minute wait posted. (Which is crazy low!). We got on the ride at 8:44 a.m., so below the time posted. Look how empty Fantasyland was!

      From there we went to Haunted Mansion. It was a walk-on with a 5 minute wait posted. We had the walk to ourselves on the way over!

      One of my favorite areas!

      I wanted to note…there was currently no stretching room for Haunted Mansion. You walked through it to get on the ride, but no stopping and gathering for the pre-show.

      We went back to It’s a Small World which had a 10 minute wait posted. We were on in 8 minutes.

      They were only seating every other row on the boat due to social distancing.

      After every ride, we checked the app for wait times. We decided to go to Pooh next since that line tends to get long quickly. We got in line with a 10 minute wait posted, and actual wait time was 8 minutes. There were constant announcements about no eating and drinking in line! Next was Little Mermaid which was a walk on.

      From there, we went to Dumbo, which is a ride I rarely go on! We were on in 5 minutes.

      Up next was Buzz with a 20 minute wait posted which was accurate.

      Of course we had to see the Carousel of Progress, and we had a 5 minute wait there. You can see by my picture that seats were blocked off due to social distancing. Some entire rows were also roped off.

      Up next, an afternoon/evening at Magic Kingdom, along with lunch at Liberty Tree Tavern!

    • Epcot Morning Touring

      Posted at 12:29 pm by taryngirl, on April 9, 2019

      2/27/19

      After breakfast at All Star Movies, we headed to Epcot.  We got there around 11:30 a.m.  We were in no rush.  We had some FP+ scheduled and were really having a leisurely day.

      IMG_4156

      We noticed that Spaceship Earth had been down all morning, but when we walked through the gates they must have just opened up.  So we hopped right on it with no wait!  It was my most unusual ride this time.  Our car was very jerky and squeaky, and our little interactive screen on the way down wasn’t working correctly.

      From there we needed to head to our Frozen Ever After FP+.  We cut through the walkway to the left and got some good views of the scenery being set up for the Flower & Garden Festival.

      IMG_4160IMG_4176IMG_4177IMG_4179IMG_4180

      It really was a perfect day weather wise!

      We didn’t eat here, but I snapped a quick picture of the current Quick Service Menu at La Cantina de San Angel.  This is located right on the water outside of the Mexico pavilion.

      IMG_4181

      This is the menu for the Mexico table service restaurant that is open for dinner, La Hacienda de San Angel.  This is located outside of the Mexico pavilion on the water, and is only open for dinner.

      IMG_4182

      Much to our delight, some of the topiaries were up!  In Norway:

      IMG_4183IMG_4184

      After riding Frozen Ever After, we were deciding what we wanted to eat for lunch.  We planned to snack around at some quick service places, but we weren’t TOO hungry yet.  We had eaten in China last time and I LOVED IT!  So that was on my mind…

      IMG_4185

      We took a quick jaunt through the shops here.  It’s one of my favorite…maybe because I am part Chinese?  Maybe because I love what they offer?  I’m not sure!

      When exiting out the back, we came across this neat find:

      IMG_4199IMG_4200IMG_4201

      I was trying to ask the man questions, but he was taking pictures and trying to get people to purchase.  I didn’t know if it was a temporary thing, part of Flower & Garden that would be starting, etc.  Later on, he actually was carrying one through the Lotus Blossom and showing people who were eating there.

      Of course I decided I wanted to eat at the Lotus Blossom Cafe. This was the current menu at the time.  It had different things on it since we had eaten there in January!

      IMG_4203IMG_4204IMG_4205

      I went with the Beef Noodle Mongolian Style.  This has a little kick, so be aware!  But it was so good!

      IMG_4206IMG_4207

      After that, we continued through the countries until it was time to head to our Nemo FP+.  We took the boat back to the other side.

      IMG_4208

      We had time before our FP+ and wanted to shop, so we went to MouseGear first.  This is one of my favorite shops anywhere!  (I made a purchase but had absolutely NO room left to take anything back since I only had a backpack.  I had it shipped directly to my house for somewhere around $7!)

      After our Nemo FP+ we went over to the Land pavilion for a snack.  On the way down to Sunshine Seasons, we stopped at this little counter area at the exit of the Living With the Land ride.  They had these super cute plants!

      IMG_4209IMG_4210IMG_4211IMG_4212IMG_4227 2

      If I had space in my luggage, I would have purchased one of these!  It’s the perfect gift for my youngest daughter, and so neat to think we have a piece of “the Land” in our home!

      We were in the dessert mood, and couldn’t decide between these two things:

      IMG_4228

      A fabulous piece of Carrot Cake.

      IMG_4229

      A Whoopie Pie.IMG_4230 2

      The Carrot Cake was the for sure winner!  It was SO GOOD.  Moist and amazing frosting.  The Whoopie Pie was just ehhhh.  I doubt I would get it again.

      We had one more FP+ to use here at Journey Into Imagination With Figment.  As soon as we used it, Chrissy was on the app securing another FP+.  We decided to head over to Hollywood Studios because she was able to get SLINKY DOG DASH!!!

      In case you wondered…here are three different flavors of popcorn located near the entrance to Figment!  To my knowledge, you can get the refills in your bucket with these flavors.IMG_4231 2

      We stopped at Guest Services on the way to the bus to Hollywood Studios to see if they still had any Figment magnets for Annual Passholders…SCORE!  They did.  We did have to show our AP and he did look us up online.

    • Magic Kingdom V.I.Passholder Event

      Posted at 9:29 am by taryngirl, on March 12, 2019

      2/26/19

      The V.I.Passholder Event is the entire reason we took this quick trip!  It was advertised we could check in from 6:30 p.m. until 10:30 p.m.  However, we noticed this set up in Fantasyland and had a chat with the Cast Members.  They said we could check in starting at 5:00 p.m.  So we did!  There were a few different check in areas around the park so we didn’t have to go all the way out to the entrance to get our wristbands.

      IMG_4054

      They actually were having technical difficulties with the iPads that were scanning our Annual Passes or MagicBands.  She ended up having to manually input our numbers.

      IMG_4055

      You can see the time of the even was 10:00 p.m. until midnight officially.

      IMG_4056IMG_4069IMG_4070

      After we got our wristbands, we headed to use our next FP+ that Chrissy secured immediately after Winnie the Pooh.  This would make FP+ #5 for the day.  It’s a Small World!

      IMG_4071

      I swear I see something different every time I ride this!

      Right after we scanned in to the ride, my friend secured our 6th FP+…Pirates of the Caribbean.

      We were getting hungry for dinner, and we had discussed previously that neither of us had ever eaten at Casey’s Corner!  So that’s where we decided to go.  It’s located on the corner at the end of Main Street, and you can definitely smell it when you walk past!  We knew we were going to share something and decided on…

      IMG_4072IMG_4073

      Buffalo Chicken Loaded Fries (These were AMAZING!  I loved them!)

      IMG_4074

      Footlong Chili Cheese Dog (Also AMAZING!)

      IMG_3938

      The fries were so good.  I can’t imagine Buffalo chicken on a hot dog though!  I despise the yellow squeeze cheese.  So was super happy that this was shredded cheese on the top!  This was plenty of food for two of us.  They did allow us to upgrade from regular fries that come with the meal, to the specialty fries for a slight uncharge.

      From dinner we headed to Adventureland.  We had a little bit of time to kill before our FP+ at Pirates, so we went into Tortuga Tavern to have a seat and do some work on our phones.  It was starting to become a more regular rain so we had to poncho up!  (I never take a Disney vacation without a poncho.)

      IMG_3943

      After Pirates, we hit our 7th FP+ Splash Mountain.  It had started raining and we were wet anyway, and we had ponchos to wear the entire time!  So off we went.

      IMG_4477

      After Splash Mountain, we headed towards the castle.  We had reservations for the After Fireworks Dessert Party, so we had to check in first at Tomorrowland Terrace.

      We received our wristbands and were escorted to one of the grassy areas.

       

      IMG_4075IMG_4077

      Even though it was raining, the fireworks were still amazing!

    • Magic Kingdom Afternoon Touring

      Posted at 9:42 pm by taryngirl, on March 5, 2019

      2/26/19

      After checking out the room, we headed to the bus stop.  There were only 2 other people in the bus line for Magic Kingdom.

      We arrived around 1:30 p.m.  The weather was perfect!  A little overcast, not raining yet!

      IMG_4028IMG_4030IMG_4032IMG_4033IMG_4034

      We made our way towards Tomorrowland.  We originally were going to ride the Peoplemover, but the line was ridiculously long!  So we skipped it and hit Carousel of Progress instead.  IMG_4035

      Next we hit Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin with our first FP+. IMG_4036

      We both hit some great targets!  And got stuck in the Zurg room.

      From there we decided to get a snack on the way to our next FP+.  I had been eyeing some new ice cream cones that were announced!

      IMG_4037IMG_4039IMG_4040

      ALOHA ISLE

      They had just added a new cone here called the Hei Hei cone, which I just had to have.  My friend opted for this masterpiece, which has also been on my snack list forever!

      Pineapple Upside Down Cake with Dole Whip!  You can pick vanilla, pineapple or swirl.

      IMG_4041

      I had a bite and it was really delicious.

      Hei Hei Cone–pineapple dole whip with raspberry soft serve in a blue cone.

      IMG_4042

      This was good.  It was a little more sour than I was expecting!  But it was still good.  We found a spot in Frontierland to watch the Festival of Fantasy Parade that was going on.

      IMG_4043

      After the parade, we headed to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad to use our FP+.  Then, for the first time since the new presidency, we checked out the Hall of Presidents.  My friend, who is a history lover had never seen it and she was excited!

      Onto our third FP+…the Haunted Mansion.

      IMG_4045

      Right after we scanned through with our FP+, we secured a 4th FP+.

      We took a quick jaunt through Fantasyland and went straight for Pooh to use our 4th FP+.

      IMG_4046IMG_4047IMG_4048

      I had to check out the shop that has tons of ears!  I love these Small World ones!IMG_4049

      A good option for boys!IMG_4050

      And a good option for those that prefer Villains.

      IMG_4051

      Super cute graduation ears!

      IMG_4052

      Up next…Magic Kingdom PM Touring!

    • Animal Kingdom Morning Touring

      Posted at 10:32 am by taryngirl, on February 23, 2019

      8/17/18

      Our plan was to be up and out of the room early today, but we got a late start!  We got to the bus stop at 9:20 a.m. and ended up not getting to Animal Kingdom until 10:20.  There were 4 scooters waiting to get on!  So we missed our Safari FastPass+.

      fullsizeoutput_2be3

      We did make it to our second FastPass+, Dinosaur!  This is my favorite ride in AK.

      fullsizeoutput_2be4

      I think Kaylee is screaming in Alex’s ear here…hahahahaha.

      fullsizeoutput_2be5

      Donald’s Dino-Bash was happening while we were there.  The whole land is transformed into a celebration.  There are special character spots with Launchpad McQuack and others!

      fullsizeoutput_2be6

      Kinsey had her very first meet and greet ever with Pocahontas!  She spent several minutes with her.  It was very special!  These are all PhotoPass pictures.

      fullsizeoutput_2beffullsizeoutput_2bf2fullsizeoutput_2bf4fullsizeoutput_2bf7

      We stopped to enjoy It’s Tough to be a Bug on the way over to Pandora.  This can be scary for little kids believe it or not.  At one point it gets pitch black while spiders descend from the ceiling and smoke blows into the room!

      From there we headed over to Pandora for our Flights of Passage FastPass+.  Sadly I don’t ride this because of my motion sick issues.

      fullsizeoutput_2bf8

      I spent some time watching this man in the utility suit while I waited.

      fullsizeoutput_2bf9

      This is one of my favorite backdrops for pictures!  It’s become a tradition now so I take pictures of my daughters here each time.

      fullsizeoutput_2bfbfullsizeoutput_2bfefullsizeoutput_2bff

      Lunch was of course at my favorite Satul’i Canteen.

      fullsizeoutput_2c01

      Cheeseburger Steamed Pod (Kid’s Meal)–Steamed Cheeseburger Pod stuffed with Ground Beef, Ketchup, Mustard, Pickle and Cheddar Cheese served with Vegetable Chips and Grapes.  It also comes with a drink (not pictured).

      We cut this and shared it amongst everyone.  It’s very good!  It’s a nice little appetizer.

      fullsizeoutput_2c03

      Chopped Wood Grilled Chicken Bowl–Choice of base (I did rice!), wood grilled chicken, vegetable slaw, with your choice of sauce.

      This is my go to and one of my favorite quick service meals in all of Disney!  I say this in every trip report, but it’s a nice change from the regular offerings.

      fullsizeoutput_2c04

      I always get all 3 sauces and mix them together in my bowl!

      fullsizeoutput_2c05

      Chili Garlic Shrimp Bowl–Shrimp tossed in chili garlic sauce with noodles and vegetable slaw

      This is a little bit spicy!  Spicier than anyone was anticipating.  But still good!

      fullsizeoutput_2c06

      Slow Roasted Sliced Grilled Beef Bowl–Slow roasted marinated beef with choice of base and vegetable slaw with bobos.

      The inside of the restaurant:

      fullsizeoutput_2c07

      This was my first time watching UP!  A Great Bird Adventure Show since it changed from Flights of Wonder.  I reallllly loved the Flights of Wonder show.  I think it was an often forgot about experience in Animal Kingdom.

      fullsizeoutput_2c08

      The new show was okay.  It wasn’t my favorite though!  Some of the elements were the same as the old show.  And some were new.  I encourage you to check it out at least once!

    • Disney’s Hollywood Studios – Toy Story Land!

      Posted at 10:51 am by taryngirl, on November 18, 2018

      The day was finally here!  Toy Story Land!  (I’ll be combining the pictures from our morning and afternoon visit!)

      The posted hours were 7 a.m.-10:30 p.m.  Our plan was to “rope drop” so we could ride Slinky Dog, beat a lot of people, and ride things multiple times if able.  So this meant…be on the bus by 6 a.m. at the latest, which meant wake up at 5:15 a.m.  (I am not a morning person and this is way too early for me!  But I spring out of bed in Disney!). It was 0-dark thirty:

      The walk to the bus stop was so quiet!  There were only a few handfuls of people on our bus.  It was so strange walking into the park and it was still semi-dark!

      fullsizeoutput_1c15

      Even arriving as early as we did, there was still a small crowd of people ahead of us.

      fullsizeoutput_1c13

      Tips:  Stay to the right and get as far to the front as possible.  Do not stop and shop or to get a coffee from the longggggg Starbucks line!  You can do all of that after you hit the three rides in TSL.

      Our morning touring PLAN:

      • Ride Slinky Dog
      • Ride Alien Swirling Saucers
      • Ride Toy Story Midway Mania
      • Eat breakfast
      • Ride Rock N Roller Coaster with FP+
      • Ride Star Tours with FP+
      • Eat lunch.
      • Afternoon break.

      From the second you enter the Land, the details are amazing!

      fullsizeoutput_1c12

       

      fullsizeoutput_1c0d

      fullsizeoutput_1c0a

      We headed directly to Slinky Dog to get in the stand by line.  We had FP+ for later, but for sure wanted to ride it more than once!  It is crucial that you get here at rope drop if you want to do this!  Minimize time standing in line, and maximize touring time.

      fullsizeoutput_1c11

      fullsizeoutput_1c10fullsizeoutput_1c0ffullsizeoutput_1bed

      fullsizeoutput_1be9

      fullsizeoutput_1bec

      We waited in line maybe 20 minutes at the most?  This ride is SO MUCH FUN!  I loved it.  In my opinion, it’s 10 times better than Mine Train.  I couldn’t wait to ride it again!

      fullsizeoutput_1beb

      From there, Kinsey and I went to Toy Story Midway Mania and walked right on.  Alex and her family got in line to meet Woody /Jessie I think!  The line for the characters was longer than TSMM.  They were just getting their picture taken as we were walking off the ride.  There was still no line for Midway Mania, so we rode it again with Alex’s crew.

      fullsizeoutput_1c0cfullsizeoutput_1c0e

      (My goal is always 200,000!  And to beat my husband.  But alas, he was not on this trip!). Another fun wall as you are walking out of Midway Mania.

      fullsizeoutput_1c06

      This is following the exit from Midway Mania.

      fullsizeoutput_1c05fullsizeoutput_1c04

      The Popsicle Stick Wall!

      fullsizeoutput_1bf9

      The fun bathrooms!

      fullsizeoutput_1c00

      It was about this point that I was getting hungry.  And Alex wanted Starbucks.  So Kinsey and I headed to the Joffrey’s stand just outside of Toy Story Land so I could get a DONUT! One of those huge, frosted, sprinkled DONUTS!

      fullsizeoutput_1c0b

      It was heavenly.  Everything I dreamed of and more!  After this quick breakfast break we headed to Alien Swirling Saucers.  From here you could see the construction going on for the new Star Wars area.

      fullsizeoutput_1bff

      We did the standby line for this and the wait was about 20ish minutes.

      fullsizeoutput_1bfefullsizeoutput_1bfb

      This was a fun little ride, but nothing I would stand in line longer than 20 minutes for.

      Of course we had to try the Lunch Box Tarts from Woody’s Lunch Box (the quick service location in Toy Story Land).

      fullsizeoutput_1bf8fullsizeoutput_1bf7fullsizeoutput_1bf0

      We shared this amongst us.  They were bigger than I thought they would be!  And they were delicious.  Definitely a good, sweet snack option.

      As we were heading out to our Rock N Roller coaster FP+ (which was 8:40-9:40 a.m.), tons of people were just pouring in.  We were so glad we hit it right at official park opening time!

      Up next…the rest of Hollywood Studios Touring

    • Epcot Morning Touring

      Posted at 3:51 pm by taryngirl, on November 16, 2018

      I’m SO SORRY for the delay in getting up my next blog post!  Once back to school hit, so did SOCCER SEASON!  I’m slowly reclaiming my life back…

      Continuing on with my trip report from August…

      Today was Epcot day.  We were at a very convenient location to walk to the Transportation and Ticket Center, and hop directly on the monorail to Epcot.

      fullsizeoutput_150e

      Here you can see where they are building the new Guardians of the Galaxy indoor roller coaster.  When facing Spaceship Earth, this is on the left hand side.

      fullsizeoutput_157d

      A perk of having an Annual Pass, is there is a separate Annual Pass line which usually moves much faster.  We always arrive here by 8:30 a.m.

      fullsizeoutput_1519

      It was another gorgeous day…but HOT!

      fullsizeoutput_151c

      We were doing our usual AM Touring Plan:

      • Ride Soarin’
      • Ride Living with the Land

      We always rope drop Soarin’ and save our Tier 1 Fastpass for Test Track or Frozen Ever After.  We headed directly towards the Land Pavilion.  I personally do not ride Soarin’!  I can make it about half way before I have to close my eyes.  It messes with my head… While everyone else rides, I usually check out Sunshine Seasons.  I love the variety for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  Look at these GORGEOUS cupcakes that were available this day!

      My plan was to get breakfast while I was waiting.  I went with the Breakfast Platter, which included scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, breakfast potatoes, and cinnamon French toast bread pudding.  I don’t like Disney bacon, and LOVE Disney sausage, so asked to sub and they happily did.

      I love this!  Every single thing is so good.  Especially the French toast bread pudding.  I grabbed Kinsey a croissant, which is her usual!

      After riding Living With the Land, we headed over to the Seas Pavilion.  I have never in my life waited in a line for the Seas with Nemo ride.  The queue is soooooooo long.  Here’s a view from our walk over there.

      The Nemo ride ends inside The Living Seas Pavilion.  Here you can wander around (as time permits!) and check out all kinds of cool creatures.

      fullsizeoutput_153cAfter we explored The Seas, we headed to our next FP+ at Journey into Imagination with Figment.  The ride was down, so we headed to the DVC Lounge for a quick drink and snack.  We checked again and the ride was up!

      From there we headed back to the countries.  Mexico was our first stop.  We wanted to check out the new Kidcot Fun Stops since they had recently changed.

      Now you get a Ziploc bag, and collect cards and stickers to put in the

      m.  The cards have some facts on them.

      You can find these stops at each country.  Just look for a table with a cast member to collect a card from each country.

      From Mexico, we headed to Norway to use our FP+ at Frozen Ever After.  A FP+ here is a must if you want to ride!

      Next was China…one of my favorite pavilions!  I love the shop here.

      Next stop…Germany!  My favorite snack place is here!

      fullsizeoutput_1561

      I present to you…Karamell-Kuche!  I can never decide because there are so many delicious goodies here!

      This was also our favorite Kidcot Stop!  He was super interactive and even sang to her.

      fullsizeoutput_1562

      Next stop was Japan.  This is my #1 favorite country to visit!  I love the store here, and the overall vibe.  Kinsey also loves this because they have a huge Kawaii display set up…which she loves!

      fullsizeoutput_1581

      (They also have an entire display of Gudetama, which she found awhile ago somewhere on YouTube.).  It means Lazy Egg, and for some reason she loves it!

      Our next stop was Morocco, which is where I grabbed lunch.  Tangierine Cafe is the quick service location in this country.  There isn’t much seating inside, but there are some extra tables outside.

      fullsizeoutput_156d

      If you are on the Disney Dining Plan or Quick Service Plan, this is a great value for your credit.  I love the Chicken Shawarma Platter.  It’s served with a side of Hummus, Tabouleh, and Tangierine Couscous Salad with fresh Moroccan Bread.  It’s super filling and delicious!

      From there, we decided to hop on the Friendship boat to take us back to the opposite side of the World Showcase, so we could head back to the resort for our afternoon break.

      fullsizeoutput_157f

      Of course we had to stop and get a picture at one of the famous “Walls of Disney!”

      Up next, continuing our Evening Touring in Epcot.
