Disney World with Gary and Kaylie

18-22 Oct 2023

I flew in on Wednesday. Met them at Disney Springs where we got fish and chips at Cookes and amazing cookies at Gideon’s

Stayed at the Pop Century
First up…Epcot. We didn’t make it early because of a late start and the incredibly long skyliner line, but we had a great morning. They loved cosmic rewind!
Enjoyed exploring the new Moana’s Way of Water
Beautiful
Peaceful
With lots of cool interactive water elements!

Had lunch at the Coral Reef restaurant. Super fun!
Had fun on the skyliner with the carnival mirror effects
After our break we hit the World Showcase
Lots of good food and fun shopping. Got a baguette, great chocolate, the best caramel popcorn, food festival food
Love the Frozen ride! After the ride, we watched Epcot forever and then headed back
Started Friday morning at animal kingdom which surprisingly opened at 8 and not 9 so we missed early morning there too. Headed first to Flight if Passage and then had some amazing food at the pandora restaurant.
Saw some scarlet macaws!
After our break, we hit Hollywood studios. Dinner at the 50s Prime Time Cafe was delicious and fun but we did have to wait over an hour which was frustrating.
Our waiter, Max, was really cool
The other waiter who took our picture spammed my phone with selfies 😊
Love the Tower of Tertor
After this and rockin roller coaster, I left Gary and Kaylie in the fantasmic line so that I could go back to the hotel and sleep. Pounding headache. Have had them for weeks. 🙁
On Saturday morning we purposefully slept in a little since I had a rough night. But we still caught pretty short lines. And I watched the mine train line for when it was up after a down time so we had a short line 😊
The biggest hit was Tron which I figured would be the case. I was able to get great virtual queue times!
Kaylie sat out for Space Mountain
I wanted to swim every time we went back for our break but my headaches really forced me to sleep instead so I never went to the pool. After our break we had an amazing meal at skippers canteen. Lost and found soup
Yum fish
Watched fireworks but didn’t have a very good spot
On Sunday morning we went out to the temple before our flight.
The Uber didn’t get us there in time for church but we had a nice spiritual conversation
A lovely trip 😊 flew home to Utah fir a few days to be with alex on his birthday
