1/19- Epcot
Entered the virtual queue for Guardians at 7 AM: Group 35
Breakfast at Primo Piatto
Rope-dropped Frozen Ever After, but pivoted at the last second to name the troll in the gift shop. Named the troll “Comfortable A Bad Hej.” It’s in our kids’ made-up language, Cuckoonese. It’s lyrics from the Taylor Swift song “Midnight Rain.” Received a celebration pin that led to a most special day. Entered Frozen at 8:39 AM, on the ride at 8:44 AM
Killed time waiting to meet Anna and Elsa. Entered the line at 9:15 AM, and met the princesses at 9:45 AM. Hilarious interaction about troll naming. “Did you just sneeze? Oh, um, bless you!”
First LL: Frozen Ever After at 9:50 AM
Virtual queue group 35 called, entered Guardians at 10:30 AM, on the ride at 10:53 AM, and out at 11:00 AM. We got One Way or Another by Blondie. My five-year-old was a bit nervous, but he has a new favorite Disney ride. Went to Connections to change clothes after a tiny accident during the ride.
Visited Moderne for Angry Crab and Scallops at 11:25 AM
Space 220 Lounge at 11:30 AM for lunch. Amazing experience. Loved the Stellevator ride-up. Got a prix-fixe kids’ meal and Moon Rocks for two packs of trading cards. We got a rare white card! My son dropped his fork and catapulted pasta with sauce all over himself. Cast members were not phased and brought a booster seat and a new fork. I offered him a clean shirt, but he wasn't interested. Paid with my Spira gift card from yesterday's Batuu visit, which confused several cast members who hadn’t seen it before.
Second LL: Living with the Land at 12:55 PM
Third LL: Soarin’ at 1:15 PM
Fourth LL: Finding Nemo at 1:45 PM
Walked around World Showcase on our way out the long way. Took pictures of chalk art and stood in works of art for some great photos.
Visited El Artista Hambriento for Huarache de Champiñones and Flan de Coco. Excellent booth for the
Festival of the Arts.
Left Epcot a little before 3 PM to go back to Caribbean Beach for a bit of pool time before getting picked up to go to the airport at 4:30 PM.
Now we’re on our Southwest flight home! Pretty much a perfect two-day trip.
