Day 2 - Magic Kingdom and Epcot

This was our first day of parks! We got the park hopper passes and Genie + and used both each day. Very worth it. We also ended up buying the Individual Lighting Lightening Lane rides as well. It’s honestly all a little confusing and I still much prefer the Fast Pass system they used to have. I felt like we had a much better “plan” for our day when you could book three rides at once. And we weren’t waiting in any hour plus lines with a 3 and 6 year old. Thankfully we didn’t and weren’t dead set on riding any particular rides. We were just happy with what we got on. Here was what we did on Saturday:

Magic Kingdom - 

Dumbo 

Under the sea

It’s a small world

Haunted mansion - my kids were not interested in this...it's pretty scary.

Peter Pan - I don't get the hype of this

Aladdin magic carpet

Tomorrow Land Speedway

Space mountain - we bought this for Kevin and Molly Anne…Grady wasn’t tall enough

People mover - Grady and I did this while they did SM

Epcot - 

Frozen - we bought this too

Saw Elsa and Anna - they randomly come out into the courtyard for pictures.

Gran Fiesta Tour starring the Three Caballeros

Soarin’ 

The Seas with Nemo

Saw Epcot show Harmonious

Right now at Disney you have to wear masks inside and they’re optional outside. 









That time we bumped into the boys on the speedway…oops! But we won!

These gold statues are all throughout the park for the 50th anniversary celebration that is happening now. 


Grady loved the peoplemover!


Riding Aladdin! Yep, Fanny pack is the way to go. I kept only a few things in it - my phone, portable phone charger, hand sanitizer and my license/credit card. Then I keep a bigger bag of stuff in the bottom of our stroller that I didn’t care if something happened to it. That bag has extra hand sanitizer, change of bottoms for Grady that he didn’t need, water bottles, couple snacks. If it looked like it may rain, I added a separate bag of four cheap ponchos. We used these one day. 




Went back to the hotel around 1pm ish so Grady could sleep for an hour or two. Kevin and Molly Anne went to the pool at the hotel. Then we walked over to Epcot. 

Molly Anne told me a few weeks ago that she really wasn’t into princesses any more. Little did she know that she was going to Disney in three weeks ha! But she asked to meet them again and we did. She told me afterwards that she told them her name because she was positive they’d remember her and she said they did. It was very magical. Anna turned to Elsa as we were walking away and said how sweet Molly Anne was. Ahhhh those are the moments why us Moms stress out about all of the Disney details!!!




We had a delicious dinner at La Cantina de San Angel. Our kids downed the queso. Also, I must add… every waiter or waitress we had at Disney was awesome. They were so good.  




They were mesmerized with the ball!


Soarin freaked me out but they loved it!


The aquarium was a big hit and also a great spot to waste some time before the big Epcot show at 9pm every night - Harmonious. 


The show was incredible. We ended up watching it two nights in a row. 




Next day was raining but we headed to Animal Kingdom then back to Epcot. Stay tuned, coming up next.
