Sadly I wasn’t able to
get on the site to give a quick update during the week because the wi-fi was
being finicky, but here are my thoughts on our new and old experiences from our
trip!
New things going to be
experienced:
·
Traveling with just
my sister- We ended up having an awesome time! There were ZERO quarrels which
was pretty surprising if you ask me. Only once did I have to say “I’ll leave
you behind if you don’t want to come!”
·
Be Our Guest
(For lunch with FP+)- Pretty disappointing. I much prefer dinner here over
lunch. The food was alright and even though we ordered our meals beforehand, we
still had to go through the same process as those who hadn’t pre-ordered. It
wasn’t the same without the Beast there either. I will definitely be sticking
to dinner here from now on.
·
Switching hotels
during our trip- Almost completely painless! I talked to the front desk of Old
Key West the day before we had to switch hotels to figure out how we were
supposed to get ourselves and all of our luggage from here to All Star Sports.
The woman shocked me by saying that the bell service of the hotel will take
your luggage there free of charge and just to make sure you had anything you
needed because it didn’t happen until late afternoon. I was very impressed with
this and over happy that we didn’t have to lug it all the way across Disney by
ourselves. The only down side was getting ourselves to the resort. We had to
take a bus from Old Key West to Hollywood Studios and then take a bus from
Hollywood Studios to All Star Sports. Although it doesn’t seem bad, it ended up
taking over an hour and a half to do so. Once we arrived at the resort our room
wasn’t ready which was a bit of a downer, but we decided to head to Magic
Kingdom and just come back later. Overall, not too bad.
·
Fantasmic Dinner
Package- Wonderful choice! Absolutely loved not having to stand in the looooong
standby line to get in, plus we had seating in the center of the theatre which
is the best!
·
Keys to the
Kingdom Park tour- One of my favorite parts of the whole trip! The tour was absolutely
amazing. Of course it was the hottest day in Florida all summer so that was rough
considering it was a 5 hour walking tour, but the tour guide truly helped in
making sure we had time in shade and had plenty of water. I learned so many new
things that I am still thinking about all the new facts and information.
·
Memory Maker- probably
the best $150 I spent the whole trip. Not having to worry about having my
camera out all the time and getting special magical shots was totally worth it.
We ended up with over 200 pictures to download which was great. I would buy
this again in a heartbeat.
·
Villains
Unleashed- I hope they have this again next year! I loved the event, but we definitely
learned a few things to do differently if we were to attend again another year.
Being as we were up and in line to enter Animal Kingdom by 8:30 that morning,
we were a bit tired once it was time for the event at Hollywood Studios
beginning at 8pm. Being tired and really hot had a slight impact on the event,
but we still enjoyed it and was able to meet all the characters that we wanted
to.
Favorites
that are being revisited:
·
Tusker House – I
was a little sad to be rushed through the characters and eating, but otherwise
the Characters were great and the food was very yummy!
·
Chef Mickey’s- AMAZING!
Always love it here. Never disappoints.
·
Celebrate the
Magic/Wishes- Wonderful as always!!! J
Overall, we had an
amazing time and I can’t wait to write up my trip report! Hopefully I’ll have
that done by the end of the week!
Thanks for reading and
have a MAGICAL day!
:)
