After visiting Common Studios, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, and Magic Kingdom, we had saved a fan favourite for our final day- Epcot! We determined the evening earlier than to let our crew sleep a bit bit extra, however my bro and his crew caught to the rope drop plan.

With the plan, my brother and crew rocked it- being first in line and into the park once more! I believe we’ve solidified the truth that my household thinks I’m nuts for implementing this early morning craziness. Can I say although, the proximity of the again entrance of Epcot to Disney’s Seashore Membership (extra particulars on our room right here) is totally unbelievable! It actually is lower than a 5 minute stroll. Loopy handy!
We instructed the fam we’d meet them at our first Genie+ which was Frozen at round 9:30. I’m fortunate we snagged that as a result of each Remy’s and Take a look at Monitor had been having some points that morning and had been down, so folks flooded Frozen. We walked proper into the magic of Arendelle at 9:30!



From there we headed to my favourite area- The Land! Why is that this my favourite? Traditionally it’s due to the journey Soarin’, which Hailey and I completely adore. Nevertheless, we had by no means been on the Residing with the Land journey, however obtained to stroll proper onto it after Soarin’ with no wait… and fell. in. love.
Everybody loved the enjoyable boat journey speaking about our human historical past with rising meals, however after we floated into the working greenhouse mother, Hailey, and I completely geeked out. It was SO neat! They had been rising all kinds of crops and herbs, some we had by no means seen earlier than and others rising in stunning methods, like tomatoes rising excessive up and dropping down by netting. It was a wannabe gardener’s glad place!









After exploring the land, we rode the lovable Nemo journey and explored the aquarium, attending to see manatees take pleasure in their romaine lettuce lunch. We had been approaching mid-day at this level, and I made a decision it will be finest for my crew to have some down outing of the solar if we had any hope of constructing it to fireworks.
My bro and his crew determined to remain, and I’m so glad they obtained to see Mickey and discover the nations. For us, a pair hours hanging within the room was an important concept. We performed Monopoly Deal, hydrated, and simply relaxed.


We headed again into the park round 4:00 feeling refreshed and able to rock. We headed again to the Land to journey Soarin’ and Residing with the Land once more (instructed you we liked it…) then scooted throughout to redeem our Genie+ at Take a look at Monitor. We had been a bit behind my brother, so we instructed them to go forward. They had been loading onto the journey as we had been scanning our bands. Then 5 minutes later, the journey halted. They had been caught midride!
We waited for a couple of minutes however then heard whispers that the journey was not going to re-open so we left the road. I’m so glad we did as a result of by the luck of the mouse, a Genie+ spot opened up for Remy’s and I used to be in a position to seize it, permitting us to skip the 70 minute watch for a journey we actually needed to go on.
Kris, Cara, Kyla, and Lacey had been all caught on Take a look at Monitor and needed to be personally escorted off the journey; an journey I’m certain they received’t quickly overlook.
We hustled over to France, which is lovable by the way in which, and walked into Remy’s. The journey is new so we hadn’t ridden it earlier than and it was such a delight! You shrink all the way down to the dimensions of a mouse and get chased, sprayed with mop water, and extra. The youngsters liked it!









After we obtained off of Remy’s we spent a while wandering the nations and tried a chew to eat from a Brazilian meals cart (which was superb).
All of us met up collectively after the opposite half of our group rode Guardians of the Galaxy (and stated it was unbelievable!). Although we had been a drained bunch by this level, it was night and we had been hungry. We had been in a position to get a desk at Spice Street in Morocco, which David and I liked on our first Disney journey. See all our Disney experiences right here.
I really feel prefer it’s a hidden gem as a result of it isn’t crowded, the meals is superb, and you’ve got an important view of the lake. The youngsters had been thrilled to have their very own desk subsequent to ours. We ordered what felt like considered one of all the pieces on the menu whereas we debriefed one another on our days and mirrored again on the week, and all of the craziness and pleasure we packed into it.



It was such an ideal technique to tie up the journey with our favourite thing- chatting, laughing, consuming meals, and simply attending to be collectively. Initially our server requested if we’d be staying for the fireworks and we stated no as a result of we had been too drained. However chatting and snacking stretched our timeframe and earlier than we knew it we had been seeing colourful explosions by the home windows.
We paid our invoice, and stepped outdoors for the total expertise. We ended up watching the entire fireworks spectacular, soaking within the sounds and sights of the children’ extensive eyes and giggles as they watched all of it. It was the right ending to a chaotic and magical week!


Mother needed one final image because the present ended and we headed again to the resort; one displaying that it was time to stay a fork in us as a result of we had been DONE. The youngsters pushing the dads that had each been such troopers all week lengthy match the invoice. Thanks Disney for all of the reminiscences; I do know we’ll look again on them fondly and with laughter!
