Disney Parks

Published on
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

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!
