Epcot 40th and International Food and Wine Festival 2022

During our epic trip to both Canada where we visited Canada's Wonderland Haunt and Orlando where we visited Halloween Horror Nights Orlando for the first time ever and Universal Orlando Resort for the first time since 2006, we also took the time out to visit Epcot for the first time since 2007. 

We will be doing a more comprehensive WDW visit next may before our cruise (first time at new Fantasyland, Pandora, Toy Story Land and much more) but for this trip we decided to just have a day at Epcot to hopefully ride Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and spend a day with some Orlando friends at the Food and Wine Festival. 

We had an amazing day and we can't wait to get back in a few short months.

Hello gorgeous, it's been a long time!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
We're tired, almost ready to go home, but not before an amazing day at one of our favorite theme parks ever!
Picture
Picture
While we were waiting for the rest of our crew to arrive (and our Guardians time) we had some fun in Future World (is it still called that?). I think we missed 2 versions of this, but we loved the current version.
Picture
Picture
For two special people! You know who you are.
Picture
I still freaking love this ride. Orange FTW!
Picture
Picture
Also, will make no apologies for loving this too!
Picture
Granted, our first trip to Epcot was in 2006 so we don't know any better. =)
Picture
Despite a lot of walls everywhere, the park still looks amazing!
Picture
Good Nemo! I will be taking no questions.
Picture
OMG it's happening!
Picture
Thought the queue was just ... ok.
Picture
Picture
Loved the model though! The pre-shows were fun although I will say it was obvious Rocket wasn't Bradley Cooper and it was a bit distracting. Anybody else feel that way?
Picture
This coaster currently sits at #5 on my list (out of 336 coasters). It's THAT good.
Picture
Only 50th statue we saw all day, granted, we weren't really looking. Lol.
Picture
Saturday + late October + Food and Wine = Crowds. But they were manageable and most of the lines moved very quickly.
Picture
This means you!!
Picture
Picture
I wonder how many of these they actually sell ...
Picture
Picture
This was empty when we boarded Gran Fiesta, and was packed when we got off.
Picture
I freaking love this ride
Picture
Alright, let's get some food in our belly's!!
Picture
Picture
Picture
I absolutely loved this!
Picture
Potatoes and Cheese and Bread, what's not to like?
Picture
Potatoes and Cheese and Ham, what's not to like
Picture
Apples and ... well, you know where I'm going.
Picture
Wonder what we could find in here?
Picture
I'm not even exaggerating when I say this was the best cookie I've ever had in my life.
Picture
This wasn't too bad either, but I only got one bite. Kristi wasn't sharing, I wasn't either. =)
Picture
We did Lightning Lane+ for the day, it definitely wasn't worth it. We essentially paid $22 to ride Frozen. We enjoyed it, but not THAT much.
Picture
Yes, we're the nerds who come from CA and buy hats and ears.
Picture
Really should have been called Olaf's Adventure, not that we have a problem with that.
Picture
Those barges aren't THAT bad
Picture
Gnocchi
Picture
And some frozen thing
Picture
After frozen we caught up with our crew for some beers in the UK
Picture
Take your pick!
Picture
This is why you wear a colorful shirt to Food and Wine, I didn't spill though!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Story Time ... there was some "influencer" type person trying to get the perfect phone booth pose for about 10 minutes, and yelling at either her BF or "Friendzone Friend" (most likely). Steve and I walked up and got this in 1 take.
Picture
At your service!
Picture
This was fantastic!
Picture
I thought the shrimp was just ok, the couscous was actually my favorite part
Picture
Oh Canada, why are you so yummy?
Picture
The most beautiful pavilion IMO
Picture
Lots of apple treats inside!
Picture
Wanted to see the show but this was ok too!
Picture
Some frozen vegan thing, not too shabby
Picture
Living with the Land!
Picture
Our crew, a lot of FL Team Park Journey!
Picture
You either love this ride, or you don't love awesome rides
Picture
Picture
Epcot's Mullet
Picture
Epcot NFT's > HHN NFT's
Picture
Time for some more food, the Mac and Cheese was just "ok"
Picture
The Fry Flight was a hit. I'm not usually a fan of sweet potato fries but I enjoyed these.
Picture
First time on Test Track 2.0!!
Picture
Or not. We got walked off right at the seatbelt check. Too bad, our vehicle was amazing!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Time to start saying our goodbye's to dear friends and to an amazing park
Picture
Picture
Picture
Until next May Epcot. We love you!

Walt Disney World: Disney's Hollywood Studios and EPCOT update - February 3, 2021

Picture
Last week Renée made her first visit to WDW in awhile and sent some great pics of the goings on at Disney's Hollywood Studios and EPCOT. 

In addition, she had some amazing pics with Grogu, so if you missed Grogu's Day Out last week, be sure to check it out. You won't be disappointed.

Good morning from Disney’s Hollywood Studios! I haven’t been in this park since July, should be interesting!
Picture
And I haven’t been on RotR in over a year. Hopefully the ride is running smoothly today! It was my first time using the virtual queue from home.
Picture
Conquered Toy Story Land in less than an hour.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Kylo Ren and storm troopers looking down at guests in Galaxy’s Edge.
Picture
I love how WDW has recently stepped up their game with the vegetarian food options. Docking Bay 7 in Galaxy’s Edge has one of my favorites, the Felucian Kefta and hummus garden spread.
Picture
The character cavalcades are fun to see. The only thing that bugs me is as they approach, guests don’t care about distancing and get up right next to you at the last minute to see them.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
The park feels busy-ish but wait times for most rides are posted at 30-45 minutes and don’t take that long. Love Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway!
Picture
Picture
Rise of the Resistance was perfect. I hope I don’t have to wait another year till I get to ride it again.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
First time park hopping since last March, and also first time seeing these big guys.
Picture
Caught the Mickey and friends cavalcade.
Picture
Picture
I honestly didn’t know that the new area in France that recently opened is literally just bathrooms and bloggers looking through the wall.
Picture
Picture
It’s nice to see the arts represented once again for the fifth annual Festival of the Arts at Epcot. That animated little f**ker is back as the icon.
Picture
Picture
The Voices of Liberty are a must see when visiting Epcot. Great to see them on the big stage performing Disney songs for the Festival of the Arts.
Picture
Picture
I love the new storyline for Gran Fiesta Tour. Donald bails before their big show! Face with tears of joy
Picture
Also my first time seeing the fountain, which looks great. Epcot is still very much under construction but if it’s going to look as good as this when it’s done, I’ll take it.

But I'm pulling Editors privilege today and I think you'll see why. 

Enjoy Grogu's day out at Disney's Hollywood Studios and Epcot.
