Our last two days at Disney were GREAT! We spent them enjoying the Magic Kingdom® Park, Epcot®, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park. Our visit to the Magic Kingdom® Park on Friday (the start to Memorial Day weekend) definitely included a far larger crowd that we had experienced earlier in the week. We were glad that we had decided to make Friday our last day of the vacation.
Overall we had a wonderful trip and experienced many new restaurants and attractions! We’re looking forward to our next trip in October! Stay tuned!
Yesterday was a blast! We spent the morning at Disney’s Hollywood Studios™ and the evening at Epcot®. All meals were excellent and the wait times at all of the attractions we experienced were minimal. A few typical Florida rain showers popped up but they were actually quite welcome as they helped reduce the heat of the day.
Tonight we’ll experience Disney’s Pirate and Princess Party at the Magic Kingdom® Park for the first time and we’re expecting to have great fun enjoying that event!
UPDATE: The Disney’s Pirate and Princess Party was a huge hit! We absolutely loved the fun and excitement and will definitely catch this event the next time it is offered during one of our trips to Disney!! I think it was my favorite of all the separate ticketed after-closing parties at the Magic Kingdom® Park!
Our second day has gotten off to a great start! We spent the morning at the Magic Kingdom® Park and will head out to Epcot® this evening. We experienced several attractions this morning and dined in the theme park at The Crystal Palace and Cinderella’s Royal Table. Both are great meals and overall wonderful experiences to share with your family. Meals at Cinderella’s Royal Table take place in Cinderella Castle and are truly magical moments!
We arrived at the Walt Disney World® Resort today and are excited to start our trip! We spent the early afternoon at Downtown Disney® shopping and enjoying the sights and sounds of the area. Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique was our first stop and experiencing a princess makeover was the highlight of the day!! The time and care that the Fairy Godmothers-in-training dedicate to the little girls (and boys!!) is amazing and the makeovers turn out fantastic! A definite must-do!
Dinner took us to the Cape May Café at Disney’s Beach Club Resort for the clambake buffet. Talk about great food! We left the restaurant pleasantly stuffed! We strolled along Disney’s BoardWalk for some evening entertainment before heading back to our room at Disney’s BoardWalk Villas.
It was a hot day today, as is typical for Florida in late May. Travel during this time of the year needs to involve rest and a slow pace to handle the heat.
A great start to another Disney trip! Check back for more updates during our trip!
