Glen’s Trip Report

4:20am shuttle bus to airport

I forgot the double stroller!!!

Kids fell asleep on Magical Express—couldn’t get them to wake up when we got to Contemporary, LOL!

BLT–beautiful, clean, and spacious….and we LOVED being a short walk from MK

All my planning and research really helped me maximize our trip, but it’s a double-edged sword–so many in my party couldn’t or wouldn’t go commando, so it became frustrating for all

4-yr-old AJ and I are commandos…the rest of our group, not so much—he and I did every ride in Epcot except Ellen…the others did Spaceship Earth only

Turtle Talk–legitimately funny for adults and kids

Met Mickey and Goofy

Very hot first 3 days

Day 1:

Very first people to arrive at MK—still dark out; just us and the security guards

Alden screamed through the Morning Show at MK

The kids love the rides—Peter Pan, Pooh, Enchanted Tales, Buzz, Pirates, Haunted Mansion

Gaston’s Tavern–cinnamon bun and LeFou’s Brew were great

Be Our Guest lunch–tasty but I’d only do there again at dinner

Day 2:

Hollywood & Vine character breakfast—kids were star-struck

Jedi Academy–incredible

First Time In Forever Sing-along—historians are hilarious, especially Eric

Extra magic—6 unattached FPs to Epcot!!

Parents watch the elder 2 kids, but Sarah won’t leave the baby

Epcot F&W Festival—tasty and fun

Disney Nerds/Mouseketeer podcast meetup—neat

Day 3:

Jock Lindsey’s Hangar bar–outstanding food and impeccable theming

Disney Springs–gorgeous!

Ft Wilderness and Trail’s End—lovely change of pace, literally

2 AM Magic Kingdom—unforgettable (12 rides in 4 hours, including 7 coasters)

Day 4:

Mine Train—AJ’s “favorite ride”

Pirate’s League–great fun getting into character

Kid’s Night Out—amazing service

Dinner at Kona Café–so so for the price, but Polynesian resort was so gorgeous we want to stay there next time

Day 5:

The real benefit of BLT is revealed—squeezed in 2 quick trips to MK between naps

Nap room at Contemporary at no charge
