A Sizzling Hot Summer in WDW TR June/July 2025

Next we head over to our reservation at Tusker house. We got a lunch reservation when we heard that AP in June Mon-Thur get 40% off their Tusker house lunch or dinner meal! Soo of course we had to book it. Tusker house is our fav character buffet meal. We have only done breakfast before so we were eager to try their lunch and we love all things AK food! ❤️

As we all over my son checks out some more animals..my son loves this park.

We check in. We have a reservation right at the start at lunch in hope of getting a little breakfast cross over too... since I love their simba waffles. 11:05 is the soonest lunch reservation you can get.
We are seated and we put in our drinks order.
Then we are off. To see if breakfast is still there... score! Simba waffles!

Next we were there when they were doing a feeding with the gorillas. Soo cool how they spread them all out and make sure they feed them the exact same time so there is no competition between them.

Continue to the next post.
 
It is hot, my son and my mom are melting. Lol.
So we head back to the car to go back to the room. We only seem to be making it till 1ish each day.

I want to do a pic... my mom said she is too hot. So goes to the car to turn on the ac.

We do the cute little frame area right outside the gates.

Ohh also forgot that we met Daisy earlier in the day! She had almost no line... so we hopped in and she is such a fashion icon.

FB_IMG_1753288026197.jpg

The ac was wonderful in the car.
And everyone is still hot. Soo we decided let's cool off in the pool!
20250624_160335.jpg
My son loves the slide here.
20250624_161234.jpg
And they had a pool ball game going that my son had soo much fun playing with the cm.
20250624_161907.jpg
20250624_161926.jpg

Overall the pool is nice way to cool down. Shade is an issue here and.... there is sand!! My son stayed away from the sand... lol.

Continue on to the next post.
 
I decide it times for me to workout. I did a run on the treadmill.

The workout room is soo small in OKW and the wonderful ac they have in the rooms is not extended here. They keep the room so hot. It was hottest treadmill run I have ever done.
20250624_181315.jpg


And as I pass quick service I had to get my fav key lime pie ice cream pop.
I loove these!! This is my newest addiction and I don't see them around any where but OKW.
20250624_184015.jpg
Then some simple dinner from Costco.
It is amazing how u can still be full from those huge buffets!
20250624_185723.jpg



Then a nice long shower and bed time.

Another great disney day!

Day 5:
Another early morning!
We get on the first bus over to MK! So we can rope drop.
20250625_073156.jpg
20250625_073207.jpg
Ahh mainstreet always so magical.
20250625_075955.jpg
20250625_080004.jpg
I like that they now have the crowds wait intfront of the ride instead of those big mass crowds they had before. My son was not a fan of those big mass crowds.
We head over to Peter Pan. Most are heading to mine train and some are already heading to Tron even though tron does not open up for early morning.
We get in a nice place a sit.
20250625_081558.jpg
20250625_081248.jpg
And once the park opens we walk right in to the ride. Soo nice.
20250625_082427.jpg
20250625_082435.jpg
My son looves this ride!
20250625_083647.jpg
20250625_083656.jpg
And I love not having to wait in a long line for a ride that to meet is over hyped. Soo everyone is happy.

Continue on to the next post.
 
Next we head off to our next ride and we spot Rapunzel and Flynn!
20250625_083844.jpg

Then next we went to speedway. It is still very short line and my son looves it and since it is fully in the heat 🥵 we thought best to do it now before it gets to hot.

I wish they updated this ride... but my son has soo much fun with it.

Next we go to the tea cups. The line is still super short and tea cups is one of my mom's fav. And then we noticed the Alice and Mad hatter are riding with a couple on the ride. They are waving and having fun with everyone.

Man the characters are everywhere! It really brings life to MK.

Then after the ride, they go over to a spot for pics!
So we go over to their spot since it is really short.
Man they are a fun meet! The mad hatter is a hoot! They thought our Aulani autograph book was soo cool.

20250625_100435.jpg

Next we go off to Barnstormer since it is another short wait and the train arrives!
20250625_100630.jpg
20250625_100637.jpg
I always love the train.

My son having fun why waiting.
20250625_100758.jpg

Continue to the next post.
 
Next we head down mainstreet for our next reservations that I am soo excited about. We got a haircut for my son at the barbershop! This will be the first time we have done this here. It only cost around $20!!! The best deal in disney.
20250625_105600.jpg
We check in and wait outside. There is not much room in the barbershop. Then they call us in.
20250625_110133.jpg

20250625_111250.jpg
And they give him pixe dust!
20250625_111313.jpg
20250625_111320.jpg

He looks so handsome 😍
20250625_111329.jpg
20250625_111746.jpg

Overall we loved this!!! Soo affordable. The cms here are so nice and know how to keep kids happy while getting their hair cut. Also they can only take tips with cash so make sure u bring some cash.
My son told everyone about his hair cut and pixie dust all day long.

Continue to the next post.
 
After that we found a bench in the shade near the barbershop and had our lunch. We packed our lunch. Soo sandwiches. I don't think I have mentioned this yet by my disney backpack has a cooler in it so keeps our food nice. It is soo nice to just eat and relax on mainstreet bench.
I notice the line had died down to almost nothing so after lunch we go get our pictures taken on mainstreet. We want to show off my sons cute haircut too.

By the point my son and my mom are all complaining about the heat 🥵 so we are going to do just one more ride. We planned on Tinas as our last ride soo if my son gets to wet we can go and change. He does not do well with wet clothes. So we head down and cm says please move to the side a parade is coming. I love that they kept these smaller parades. We were in a spot no one else was in soo all the characters paid attention to my son... which he loved!

We back to the bus and we see the balloons. We normally do not get balloons since akl does not allow them cause of the animals.
We decided now or never. My son is soo happy! He picked out mickey and minnie balloons.

20250625_132557.jpg

We then chill out and relax for bit. Then change for dinner. We have a great night out planned.
We will being going over to Corando Springs for a night out on the town.

Both us want to drink soo we take the busses over. We take the first bus that goes to Epcot, HS, or Ak and then take a transfer bus to Corando Springs. It takes a little bit of time but not to bad at all.

We walk into the tower. It is very beautiful. Seems like a deluxe resort not a moderate.

Three bridges gets a great breeze too and feels very nice in the nice.
At some point we need to eat a real dinner here. So much of the food looks good.

We walk back to the tower in th heat. Man this resort is big!
We go up the elevator all the way to the top to go to our reservation at Toledos.
20250625_174822.jpg
I am soo excited to try this restaurant.
It is only 1 of 2 restaurant in WDW that has earned a Michelin star! And the best part we get 40% off!!!

We check in and check out the balcony. The views from here are amazing. You can see everything.
