1/11 Cont’d...
Next up, we headed over to our FP at EE! I truly believe this is one of the best photo ops in all of WDW...
DS1 had never ridden EE on our previous trips, and he ended up loving it! We were cracking up through the whole ride because now that he is older, DH can’t handle the rides as well... so when we went backwards, he kept yelling, “No, no, no, no, no” and yelled “Oh sh*t” on the big hill... we were rolling. He actually had to sit down and re-group for a few minutes after that one. So what did we do right after that? We made him ride Dinosaur since the line was only 10 minutes! Ha! He definitely was feeling the hurt again after that, so we again sat down to rest a moment and DS2 took the opportunity to have his first Mickey Bar of the trip.
After DH felt better, we meandered over to the Tree of Life and watched “It’s Tough to be a Bug”. We all get a kick out of that one. Then it was time to go to Pandora for our FOP FP! They had not been there before, and they were all totally impressed by the theming... it’s such a great place for pics.
They also couldn’t believe that the line was 180 minutes for FOP, and decided I was pretty smart for getting FP!
everyone absolutely loved FOP, and DH didn’t feel sick, so that was a bonus! It really is an absolutely breathtaking ride.
It was around 4:30 so we decided to head back to the hotel to chill out for a couple of hours, and then ended up at Epcot around 7:30. I literally only took one pic this night because we were on a mission to feed the teenagers! It truly was a power walk around the World Showcase to get what they wanted before closing time! We ended up eating the following:
UK - fish and chips from Yorkshire Fish Shop. These were fantastic! The fish was light and flaky and the chips were nice and thick. Yum! DH ended up running into a rose and Crown for a Harp, too.
France - Lobster bisque, a whole baguette, and chocolate eclairs from Boulangerie. DH and DS1 were totally loving that bisque... so much so that we decided to change a dining reservation later in the trip from Trail’s End to Chefs de France so we could get more! The baguette was so fabulous, as usual, and the chocolate eclairs were divine.
Japan - pork ramen and sushi from Katsura Grill. Both were good, not fantastic, but serviceable for the hungry ones!
America - bacon cheeseburgers and fries from Liberty Inn... but the boys ended taking these back to their room and eating them later because we were running out of time to get to Mexico!
Mexico - churros and flavored sodas from the QS that I can’t remember the name of at the moment. We love the caramel sauce they serve with the churros, and DS2 liked the mango soda!
Whew! That was a marathon sprint around WS. After that, we headed out to rest after a long day of walking!
Next up... Disney Springs for an amazing lunch, NFL playoffs for DH and DS1, and DS2 and I on our own adventure! Not a lot of pics, but I can share what we did!
