Ahhhh! We're in Walt Disney World! Since we don't make it to this park often, we decided it'd be the perfect place for a special, romantic anniversary trip!
Rob and I actually Honeymooned in Disney World and that was our second time together. We loved it so much, we now want to make it a yearly thing. It's a very different kind of magic than Disneyland, both are wonderful in their own way!
We started our vacation in Disney Springs...after sleeping terribly on a red eye flight and then in the car because our room wasn't ready yet, Haha! What is sleep anymore. Anyways, Disney Springs is essentially a huge outdoor shopping mall with Disney touches! They have a ton of stores, restaurants, bars and even activities like bowling. The best part, in my opinion, is you can walk around with booze!
Disney Springs takes up a lot of time. Definitely plan on being there for a few hours to make sure you get everything in. We always start in the afternoon and go into the night where they have mobile bars and live bands playing throughout. Click here to find out agendas and see the directory!
While I was in Disney Springs I partnered with Basin! Basin is a bath and body store with amazing soaps, bath bombs and even skin care! They have exclusive Disney and Mickey themed soaps that can only be found in store at Disney Springs and Basin White in the Grand Floridian...all the more reason to visit!
I also partnered with Joffrey's Coffee! Joffrey's is the official coffee of the Disney parks. It's a cute cafe that is actually also located in some of the parks as well. They can even add magic to your latte by doing some latte art!
The next day was anniversary day! We decided to spend this day in Magic Kingdom! Magic Kingdom is the most magical in my opinion. It's where all the classics are and the beautiful Cinderella Castle! I will never not gasp when I see it.
There was a Halloween party that night meaning the park closed early. But we wanted to make the best of it so we hustled through the park, got everything done (even Mine Train and Splash!) and still made it in time for our dinner reservation at The Boathouse back at Disney Springs.
The next day was our park hopper day! We've never done three parks in one day before so we were up for the challenge. It ended up being so much fun! We started at Hollywood Studios. This is actually my least favorite park (for now) but I really wanted to check out Toy Story Land.
We got there at rope drop because I've heard Toy Story Land gets crazy...and sure enough, the hoard ran to the back of the park when it opened. But we were able to walk right onto Slinky Dog! It was such a cute roller coaster!
Then it was off to Animal Kingdom! Animal Kingdom is my second favorite park because it's like a Disney zoo with rides! Also, we hadn't seen Pandora yet since it opened so that was a ton of fun! AND I rode Dinosaur for the first time...THE SCARIEST RIDE I HAVE EVER BEEN ON.
We ended the day at Epcot and this was my first time ever! I've always heard Epcot is amazing but never gave it a chance. The food and wine fest was happening so I definitely wanted to check it out. And I'm so glad we did! It's like a Disney park for adults! So many countries and food options. We spent the most time here but it still wasn't enough. I was overwhelmed at the beginning haha but I think I found my new favorite park...I'll definitely be making another trip to WDW just for Epcot!
They also had this fun game of Hide & Squeak where you find all the Remy's in all the countries! We found about half because I had no idea what anything was and it got dark, but it was still fun! Price was $5.99.
Our last day we went to a couple resorts. Disney World is known for all the amazing, fun resorts they have on property and many of them are themed and must be explored! We had breakfast at Art of Animation because I recently found out they have Ariel and Flounder waffles! Then we hit up the Boardwalk and ended up back at Disney Springs.
Since we're still so new to the Disney World area, it took some time to get familiar with things (we're still not sure whats going on haha!) It's such a big space with so much to do, it definitely gets overwhelming at times. We tried to time out our schedule to make sure we made time for everything we wanted to do and it actually turned out perfect! We made rope drop on both park days with time to spare. It truly was the best vacation ever. Next time will definitely be a longer trip because we can't wait to visit again! See ya real soon Disney World!
