Monday morning we got up and drove the short distance to Disney World. We started at Epcot because we wanted to be sure to see the Flower and Garden Show which is in its last week. The displays were gorgeous! (Now is a good time to say that we don’t have any photos --- we left our camera back at the timeshare.) We especially enjoyed the topiaries in the shapes of the Disney characters.
We decided to make the most of our Park Hopper passes, so we followed our list to our must-do rides in Epcot (Soarin’, Spaceship Earth, and Test Track) then jumped onto the monorail for lunch at the Grand Floridian.
Next park: Animal Kingdom to ride the Kali River Rapids (we got wet!) and Expedition Everest. It was our first time on Expedition Everest and we loved it!
Then, Disney’s Hollywood Studios for our favorite ride, the Tower of Terror. We went there first, intending to pick up a Fast Pass and couldn’t believe it when the wait time was only 10 minutes! (In fact the only Fast Pass we needed all day was for Soarin’.) We also went to Muppet Vision 3D, Walt Disney: One Man’s Dream, and The Great Movie Ride while we were in the Studios park.
From there, it was back to Epcot for fish and chips at the United Kingdom so we could have a good spot to see IllumiNations fireworks and laser show.
All in all, it was terrific . . . with the shortest lines we’ve ever had in any Disney park and pleasant weather (90 degrees but tolerable humidity). I think the memories we have from prior trips here combined with our anticipation of future visits with our grandchildren, made this add up to ONE FUN DAY!
