I am so loving your trip report. It's so fun reading all about the Epic Girls trip. I'm reading a few different ones and can't wait to see how they overlap.
That is far from the lobby lol DH and I were actually farther down that hallway so I completely know that walk!! But WL is worth it!! That's a cool view too!
I figured it had to be a VIP tour! lol I had serious FOMO when I saw you all doing it! That is seriously such an amazing gift!
SDD is one of my favorites too!
OMG what a switch for your September trip!! DH and I can't wait to stay there again in the Atrium level in June.

SDD is such a fun ride, I loved being able to ride with everyone!
I can only imagine how much fun you were all having, you were probably too excited to eat! Having snacks and water on hand was so nice!When we arrived at HS, we were taken to a back entrance where a couple CM's were waiting for us. They offered our group bottled water and a variety of snacks, like popcorn, Cheese Its, Skittles and Starbursts. This was much appreciated because we were starving at this point. It was also a very nice touch.
Awesome! Twice in a row is great and I loved how the guide pointed out all the fun details.It was finally time for me to see Toy Story Land for myself and I was so excited. I personally think it's adorable and I love the attention to detail. Seeing it wasn't the best part tho...We got to ride Slinky Dog Dash!!! And, not once, but twice with no waiting in line!!! We rode it the first time in the very last row and the second time in the 4th row, so we had 2 very different perspectives of the coaster. I can honestly say that this is one of my favorite rides in WDW. It's so smooth and a ton of fun. Joe and I laughed and screamed the entire ride...
That will be perfect for your trip!We are now staying at the Contemporary Resort in an Atrium Club Level room!!!!! I am soooooo beyond excited for this...Back story...A year and a half ago, we were magically upgraded at the Contemporary to CL and we loved it so much that it just made sense to actually reserve it this time around. There are just so many benefits to staying CL that I couldn't pass it up since there was still availability. We loved being able to see HEA from the lounge every night. We loved the snacks, wine, and beer that was offered etc...It's just so nice to be able to pop in to grab a snack or bottled water, especially when traveling with a 3-year-old..
FoP is incredible. There are certain parts of it that make me cry from sheer joy and awe. I certainly never expected a ride to affect me like that.As scared and nervous as I was, this ride was AWESOME! It was everything everyone had told me about and more. I know this sounds cliche, but it was the coolest attraction I have EVER ridden and I'm so happy I forced myself to face my fears and just do it!!! I can honestly see why everyone I speak to about it has such great things to say about it. It also never made me feel nauseous. Crazy, right?!?!
Love the kids meals as a great lunch option! The blueberry cheesecake looks delish.For lunch, Joe and I each had the Cheeseburger Steamed Pod (steamed cheeseburger pod stuffed with ground beef, ketchup, mustard, pickle, and cheddar cheese served with vegetable chips and grapes, and choice of small water or lowfat milk). We chose to go with the water to drink as we are not milk drinkers. We also shared the Blueberry Cream Cheese Mousse (Blueberry Cheesecake with Passion Fruit Curd). Satu'li was a new to me restaurant (Joe had been there previously), but our pods and cheesecake were both new to us. We LOVED everything and we will be returning in the future!!! It's also true that the pods taste like McDonald's cheeseburgers!!!
I can totally see Caroline doing that, she is such a nice person!Fun Tid Bit: I had mentioned to @disneyAndi14 that I wanted to try the Night Blossom at Pongu Pongu. So, the sweetheart that she is surprised me and grabbed one for me while Joe was grabbing our lunch. How sweet is that?!?! Thank you AGAIN @disneyAndi14. You have a huge heart!!! It was sweet, refreshing and delicious and I can't wait to have it again!!!
Next, we popped into Wine Bar George.
Instead of getting one big meal, we had also decided to do more of a progressive dinner and eat at a few places and share our food
He will be working custodial at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex
We had a great view,
Someone (who will remain anonymous, but knows we are all eternally grateful to her for such a magical gift) had gifted our group a VIP Tour with 2 guides.
Funny tidbit: I had never ridden the new Soarin' before so that was a first for me and let me tell you...The part where the eagle (I think it was an eagle) flies in front of you scared the crap out of me and I may have yelled something inappropriate. I immediately realized what I said and started apologizing. I had nothing to worry about because everyone in our group who was "soaring" with me laughed about it. #greatgroupoffriends
Next thing I know, Joe is shaking hands with Michael Shannon and waving to me to come over.
I personally think it's adorable and I love the attention to detail.
.I forced myself to keep my eyes open and I warned Joe and @buzzrelly that I might throw up. I also told @buzzrelly that I would lean towards Joe if I felt myself getting sick. LOL!!!
I can honestly see why everyone I speak to about it has such great things to say about it.
We all did mobile ordering while we were waiting for our FOP journey to begin and we all submitted our orders as we were walking off the ride, so no one had to wait for their food. Everything was pretty much ready when we arrived at the restaurant. I highly recommend mobile ordering if you have never utilized it.

You're such a good friend. (And Joe's a pretty great hubby for being willing to take the brunt.
Though is it bad that I secretly wish we had a story of you getting sick on Joe I'll answer that myself, yes it is bad, but as you know I am incapable fo helping myself
Caroline @disneyAndi14 is such a sweet heart. How thoughtful.I had mentioned to @disneyAndi14 that I wanted to try the Night Blossom at Pongu Pongu.

Thank you for not throwing up on me, Jenny! I appreciate that
I thought it was so cool that you went on even though you were afraid. I wish Mike would try it at least once! Maybe you can convince him at our next meet!
Congrats to your son on starting his DCP!!
I could not believe how sweaty your hands were during and after the flight!You definitely deserved a night blossom! This was such a fun VIP tour! It was great getting to talk to you and Joe some since the rest of the time we just crossed paths!
Such a good friend!I forced myself to keep my eyes open and I warned Joe and @buzzrelly that I might throw up. I also told @buzzrelly that I would lean towards Joe if I felt myself getting sick. LOL!!!
Glad you liked it and didn't get nauseous!It also never made me feel nauseous. Crazy, right?!?!
I love the surprise characters out there. I would love for them to switched them up but keep a variety of characters.As Joe and I were leaving MK, I noticed 2 VERY special characters just waiting to take some pics with me.
Such a good friend!
If I'd been there, I might have missed the phone call for my stupendous magical moment!
