So in a perfect world, we would have left Atlanta at 10 and arrived in Orlando by noon on Saturday. Not so much. 🤦🏼♀️ We had about a 5 hour Layover. I can't even remember the exact times we left and landed now. What I do know is that by the time we made it to Magic Kingdom that night, it was 8pm and we had 2 hours left before the park closed. We rode a few rides and managed to nearly walk on to Soace Mountain, which was awesome! We saw the castle at night, which was beautiful! We stayed until the park closed at 10 and were beat when we got back to our resort. Not the way we planned for the day to go, but not too bad.
Yesterday was Hollywood Studios. We rode the sky gondolas over. So cool! And so much faster than busses! Wish they had them going to each park. But from our resort we can get to 2 parks that way. Not bad!
At Hollywood Studios we started with the Tower of Terror and Rockin Roller Coaster. Connor DID NOT like the Tower of Terror. Avery didn't really either, but she handled it better than Connor. The spooky stuff was too much for him. They both enjoyed the Roller Coaster.
After each ride we had some treats, Donuts, ice cream, coffee, and juice. We're just enjoying our time and not sweating the prices. We saved for 2 years, not nickel and diming the snacks now that we're here.
Next we went to Galaxy's Edge (Star Wars World) where we spent a lot of our day. We rode Star Tours, Smugglers Run, and Rise of the Resistance. Rise of the Resistance was one of my favorite rides I've ever been on! So cool! Worth over an hour in line! Glad we waited and went on it! We ate lunch at Docking Bay 7, grilled smoked meat and veggies! So tasty! The kids had some chicken, Mac and Cheese, and broccoli. Delish! There were photographers around and we definitely got some great shots! Michael built a lightsaber and Connor built a Droid! They are both SO COOL!
Dinner was kind of a flop. They were running 30 minutes late on reservations, so we were losing time in the park. Then we got appetizers (glad we did) and the kids' food brought out first. While we waited on Michael's and my food time ticked on by. Finally, Michael and Connor had to leave. Connor needed to go build his Droid and if we didn't make our appointment they'd charge us and we wouldn't get the Droid. So I had them box Michael's and my dinner up (another ordeal, not really a place you're supposed to be boxing stuff up from). In the end, we ate dinner, cold, at our hotel at about 10pm. 🤦🏼♀️ Oh well. Can't get everything right. Wish the flop hadn't cost us a hundred bucks, but what can you do? We went ahead and canceled our dinner reservation for Epcot (we decided we weren't super excited about it) and we'll just snack or come back and order in instead. Having a lot of stuff scheduled out is stressing us a little (we had 3 appointments, plus grocery delivery, on day 2). So we're taking it easy now. 😊
The kids made it to the pool yesterday, they were really happy about that! I was too, I thought it would be closed and they really wanted to go. I think we'll make it back again tonight because our park closes at 8pm (instead of 10pm for MK and 9pm for HS). A little extra R&R will be good!
Sorry, no photos right now. The blog is kind of a pain about mass uploading. I'll try to get some up when we're standing in line today! 😉
