Moonin': Friday

We've got noticeably less photos from Friday, but to be fair- by this point we were completely exhausted. We did only a handful of rides and left the park relatively early. When we go back (years and years from now!) I'd want to give this park lots more attention. We did snag a delicious dinner at a restaurant called Sanaa in the adjacent resort, Kidani Village on Friday night and it made a really nice end cap to our trip.

We left mid morning on Saturday and flew into a bit of a storm in Kansas City that made our landing a bit rough, but the trip home was relatively easy and painless. The settling in journey begins now!

In the lobby that morning 

The Finding Nemo Musical Show.. This and the Festival of the Lion King show were both amazeballs. 

Dino Ride!

Moonin': Thursday

Thursday was probably one of my favorite days of the trip. I loved Epcot. Love Love Loved.

First of all, Smash Mouth was playing a concert there which was basically a comedy goldmine for Brett and I. We got our photos taken with lots of characters and rode a few rides in the morning, but it was the second half of the day that I enjoyed so much. Epcot was hosting the International Food and Wine Festival in its World Showcase portion of the park.

The pavilions for each country were just awesome. I loved all the shops and the staging and it really ignited my passion to travel to each of those places for real! We ended our night with a delicious Mexican meal and watched their light show- Illuminations from the restaurant. Too legit.

Good Morning!

Moonin': Wednesday

Wednesday was Hollywood Studios day and probably the day I was most anticipating. I visited this park just once before in 2008 and the whole time I was thinking, "wow, I wish Brett were here."

There was so much Star Wars-ing.

Our morning photo.. You're getting how this works by now right?

 Let's get a round of applause for the wife making the accurate Star Wars references! (Except for "gizmo" but cut me a break, what is that thing?)

And... back at the pool. 

Can you tell from our photos how much stuff we jam packed into each day? I think that because we are able bodied adults without children, we probably did twice as many activities in each park than most families get to. It was a blast, but our heads hit the pillows hard every night!
