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. Written by Gregg Condon  Hello gorgeous, it's been a long time! 
 We're tired, almost ready to go home, but not before an amazing day at one of our favorite theme parks ever!   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.   For two special people! You know who you are.  I still freaking love this ride. Orange FTW!   Also, will make no apologies for loving this too!  Granted, our first trip to Epcot was in 2006 so we don't know any better. =)  Despite a lot of walls everywhere, the park still looks amazing!  Good Nemo! I will be taking no questions.  OMG it's happening!  Thought the queue was just ... ok.   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?  This coaster currently sits at #5 on my list (out of 336 coasters). It's THAT good.  Only 50th statue we saw all day, granted, we weren't really looking. Lol.  Saturday + late October + Food and Wine = Crowds. But they were manageable and most of the lines moved very quickly.  This means you!!
 This was empty when we boarded Gran Fiesta, and was packed when we got off.  I freaking love this ride  Alright, let's get some food in our belly's!!
 I absolutely loved this!  Potatoes and Cheese and Bread, what's not to like?
 Wonder what we could find in here?
 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.  Yes, we're the nerds who come from CA and buy hats and ears.  Really should have been called Olaf's Adventure, not that we have a problem with that.  Those barges aren't THAT bad
 This is why you wear a colorful shirt to Food and Wine, I didn't spill though!
 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.  At your service!  This was fantastic!  I thought the shrimp was just ok, the couscous was actually my favorite part  Oh Canada, why are you so yummy?  The most beautiful pavilion IMO  Lots of apple treats inside!  Wanted to see the show but this was ok too!  Some frozen vegan thing, not too shabby  Living with the Land!  Our crew, a lot of FL Team Park Journey!  You either love this ride, or you don't love awesome rides   Epcot's Mullet  Epcot NFT's > HHN NFT's  Time for some more food, the Mac and Cheese was just "ok"  The Fry Flight was a hit. I'm not usually a fan of sweet potato fries but I enjoyed these.  First time on Test Track 2.0!!  Or not. We got walked off right at the seatbelt check. Too bad, our vehicle was amazing!
 Time to start saying our goodbye's to dear friends and to an amazing park
 Until next May Epcot. We love you! Related Videos

 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. Written by Renée Girard  Good morning from Disney’s Hollywood Studios! I haven’t been in this park since July, should be interesting!  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.  Conquered Toy Story Land in less than an hour.    Kylo Ren and storm troopers looking down at guests in Galaxy’s Edge.  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.  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.     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!   Rise of the Resistance was perfect. I hope I don’t have to wait another year till I get to ride it again.     First time park hopping since last March, and also first time seeing these big guys.  Caught the Mickey and friends cavalcade.   I honestly didn’t know that the new area in France that recently opened is literally just bathrooms and bloggers looking through the wall.   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.   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.   I love the new storyline for Gran Fiesta Tour. Donald bails before their big show! Face with tears of joy  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. Related Videos
