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.

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.

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.

It was another gorgeous day…but HOT!

We were doing our usual AM Touring Plan:

Ride Soarin’
Ride Living with the Land
Ride Finding Nemo
Zip through the Living Seas
Ride FP+ Journey Into Imagination with Figment
Ride Gran Fiesta Tour
Ride FP+ Frozen Ever After

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_153c After 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.

fullsizeoutput_1550

fullsizeoutput_1551

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.

fullsizeoutput_155d

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!

fullsizeoutput_1582

fullsizeoutput_1565

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!

fullsizeoutput_1568

fullsizeoutput_156a

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!

fullsizeoutput_1580

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.

March Disney World AEP Trip {Day 3}!

Posted at 1:59 pm by taryngirl, on May 31, 2018

Thursday was a team building day for our agency. We were split into scavenger hunt groups of three to four people, and were given a list of things to find. My group, “The Poor Unfortunate Souls,” teamed up with another group, in hopes to be able to get pictures of most of the things on the list. We just had to photograph things and then upload them into albums on Facebook. Our strategy was to park hop. The group decided to begin at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. I however, had to remain back in the room while still trying to book these Disney Cruises! I had been unsuccessful with getting through thus far. I met up with somewhere around 10 a.m. in the area of Rock N Roller Coaster. While I was waiting for them to come off the ride, I walked back to Sweet Spells for one of my favorite snacks! Which in this case doubled as my breakfast. The Carrot Cake Cookie. {Just a heads up, Sweet Spells has recently closed. This snack IS still available though at The Trolley Car Cafe.} I can never eat this whole thing in one sitting. Ever. So I shared with my teammates.

We then ran into these fine people while making our way back to the front of the park.

They are some of the Citizens of Hollywood! And you can see them up and down Hollywood Boulevard and Sunset Boulevard. They also sign autographs and they NEVER break character!

Here’s my fabulous team, “The Poor Unfortunate Souls.” Rachel was so gracious enough to create these fun ears for us! This pic is one taken by a PhotoPass photographer.

From this park, we went to Animal Kingdom. Upon exiting DHS, we went to the bus depot. You CAN get a bus directly to the other parks from here. So we stood in the AK line. And we waited. And waited. And waited. And one never came! People queued in front of us were waiting 45 minutes already. So we checked Uber. They could be there in 5 minutes. We walked over to the “Ride Share” area. Yes, this is labeled, and certain parking spots are set aside for it. We had such a large group that we took two different Ubers to get there. One note about DHS parking lot….it was all jacked up on this day. They were doing construction on the Skyliner Transportation System and everything is rerouted. So multiple lanes were funneling into one, etc. etc. I felt like we were riding on the bus forever through the parking lot! Uber drops you off at AK right at the sidewalk leading to the gates, near where the tram picks up/drops off.

We made our way to the Tree of Life, and got the GREATEST PhotoPass photographer! She spent so much time with us and gave us all a “Magic Shot.” Here’s some info in case you are interested: https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2017/07/a-new-way-to-find-magic-shots-at-walt-disney-world-resort/

Here is my Magic Shot!

Our next park was Epcot. We hopped on a bus to go directly from AK to Epcot. We were lucky to not have to wait very long. One was pulling up as we were getting in line.

Did you know that there are some “famous” walls within the World? Here we are at the Bubble Gum Wall!

We made our way in, and once again hit some Flower & Garden food booths as we made our way around the countries. I decided to wait, as I wanted to try a new quick service meal! But first…we needed a picture with a viking! This was another FUN PhotoPass photographer. We did many poses, and she declared me the most “viking like.” I’m not sure if that’s good or bad??!!

We finally made it around to Morocco. And Tangierine Cafe, which is the quick service restaurant in that country. I have read report after report saying how good the Shawarma Platters are. I had this on my list for this trip, and this was the perfect time. I went with the Chicken Shawarma Platter, which is thinly sliced chicken served with a side of Hummus, Tabouleh, and Tangierine Couscous Salad with fresh Moroccan Bread. This was SO GOOD. And so much food, it is an easily shared meal. I will definitely be getting this again!

Next we made our way to France to see if we could catch some more of our agents. While sitting on the wall, these two delightful men said Happy Birthday to me because I was wearing my pin. (My birthday was Friday.) They then asked me if I ever had anyone sing to me backwards, to which my response was no!

I LOVE DISNEY PEOPLE! Seriously. These weren’t Cast Members, they were just park guests! And we saw them on our way through Canada again with their wives enjoying the live entertainment.

A quick stop in a phone booth…

It was time for us to make our way to the Magic Kingdom now. So we hopped on the monorail and headed over there. I had plans to meet up with my roommates here as well. I had to handle some more “cruise business” as I STILL hadn’t gotten through to make these reservations! So I sat on a rocking chair right outside of Tony’s Town Square Restaurant while I waited on hold and people watched. My team went ahead without me. I FINALLY GOT THROUGH! And got all 4 cruises booked for my clients! I also finally met up with my roommates.

At this point, my feet were needing a little bit of rest. So I hit up one of my favorites to do during a down time…the Tomorrowland Transit Authority People Mover! In fact, we got off, and got right back on. I love the views when on this ride!

Next, we made our way to the Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor. My family LOVES this show! It’s different every single time we go. If you haven’t been yet, put it on your list.

We made our way to the Happily Ever After fireworks show.

Next Up…{Day 4}
