The Most Magical Pixie-Dusted Extra Chunky Funty and Funcle Day! Part 2
When we left off, we had just finished our time in DHS and were now on our way to Epcot! The day had been so much fun so far, but it was hot and very draining so we decided to have a late lunch/early dinner at Biergarten where I made same day dining ressies.
We took the skyliner to Epcot and I think some of the adults caught a few ZZZZs on the ride over (I might have too as I have no pictures on the skyliner haha).
As soon as we entered the park, CS made a beeline for Daisy. (of course lol)
Some of the adults got some libations on the way to Biergarten but it was a hot day and the lines were very long at the booths, especially at France. But eventually we all made it to Biergarten. It was everyone’s first time there (except for me and Steve)
We were all hungry and tired so the cool air was really nice and we dug into the buffet. Sienna LOVED the mac n cheese lol, and the adults liked the German/Austrian wines and beers.
The kids thought the show was funny and laughed a lot. It’s fun to see these familiar experiences through their fresh eyes!
After our very filling meal, we waddled out back into the heat. Because we needed time to digest, Steve and I took the kids on Frozen. They enjoyed this a lot and thought the animatronics were fun!
Waiting in the lightening lane for Frozen:
We took a nice slow walk to Guardians so we had some additional time to digest. They had to stop at the cooling stations though since the walk is pretty brutal in the heat.
Now it was time for Guardians! The kids were so excited, even Bryan, who doesn’t always love this ride, because he gets dizzy sometimes, was really pumped up! I think he just really likes to skip the lines hahaha. He wanted to ride with me, and the two older girls were together and Funcle Steve with Sienna.
We got conga, which is not my favorite song on this ride. I really like I Ran because I think it fits the tempo well. EWTRTW is actually my favorite song of the bunch but it makes be a bit loopy because the pace to me doesn’t match the ride and my brain is confused, haha. But really any day with a ride on Guardians is a great day! I do wish there is an option to skip the pre-shows and the terrible bottleneck in the queue. What is you favorite song on Guardians?
The kids loved Guardians!!! Even Sienna, who was a little scared at first and she closed her eyes on the beginning of the ride, but said it was nothing!
Meanwhile, the rest of the adults went to take some pictures and did some shopping, most likely because they weren’t able to get anything worthwhile on the multipass or they were just tired at this point, haha. CS definitely took advantage of the Character Spot!

After Guardians we had to make a beeline to the exit as we wanted to hit up rides in MK before park closing. We bused it over to MK and our first ride was Tron!
While waiting I made some multipass ressies for the other adults and managed to find them the Barnstormer and Buzz Lightyear LOL.
The kids had so much fun on Tron. Sienna loved it!! So much so that we went again! The first time Sienna closed her eyes of course, but the second time they were open!!

So Bryan asked if he could ride a THIRD time, and although that was possible I reminded him that maybe he might want to try 7DMT and maybe Space Mountain which he loved the day before but I left it up to him. We were cutting it close to park closing so we could only do one perhaps two more rides. He thought for a bit and agreed he wanted to try different things after all so off to Mine Train we go since we didn’t get to do that one yet.
So in my first family TR, I traumatized Eva by bringing her on her first roller coaster when she was 6. We all thought the ride pic was hilarious so we tried our best to recreate it on this trip!
Hahaha. It’s a good thing she loves the ride now and I’m still a cool funty!!
After 7DMT we still had time so we dashed over to Space Mountain and rode our last ride of the night before park closing.
Space Mountain again!
I daresay I can’t believe I rode this ride again hahaha, my poor spine.
And that was the end of Funty and Funcle Day! It was an AMAZING day, the kids had so much fun. Never in their wildest dreams did they think they were able to ride all the S Tier rides in one day also multiple times! They were truly spoiled today, and felt like complete VIPs. Thank you to my friends who gifted us these passes, the kids still talk about their “magical” day. #chunkydusted
I think this is one of the very very few times I have hit 30k steps in one day.
We were so exhausted!!
Now, how do we top the
Most Magical Pixie-Dusted Extra Chunky Funty and Funcle Day?
We have a VIP Tour! The next day!
Coming soon…
Your trip looks like it was amazing! We were at WDW in June, too, but a little earlier in the month. The heat was horrible!
