I'll be there on the EPIC DIS girls trip with Lesley and lots of other ladies on the boards. Are you planning to be in the parks at all over the next few days?
What a lovely first day at DAK! It sounds like everything went smoothly and you got all you wanted done. Always so fun introducing Disney newbies to Disney.
There are a few members that have learned other shows on property. Some do Beauty and the Beast, Festival of the Lion King, and Finding Nemo. Some of the members also are one of the Dapper Dans. They have also participated in some of the stage shows during the Holiday Parties. Full-time Voices of Liberty performers might not be called as often to do these shows, but they are sometimes needed.
It was a beautiful day and the sky was perfect!A beautiful AK day! The sky is so perfectly blue in all your pics!! I cannot wait to get to WDW TOMORROW!!!!!!

I also ride it a lot which helps gain skill with the guns. I rode it four times last week. 
It really is an awesome event and worth the cost for sure! It's amazing how much you can get done in 3 hours!You hit up so many of my very favorites right from the start of your night at MK!! I would love the lower crowds and short wait times for sure. I definitely think this event is so worth it, even though I haven't done it myself yet.

Are you sure HE wanted to see EPCOT? I think you just wanted to see Voices of Liberty!4/12/19: A Short Trip To EPCOT!
Hello everyone and welcome to day 2 of my time taking a good friend to the Walt Disney World Theme Parks! This was a unique day, but we were able to get a lot done!
I say it was a unique day because the beginning of the day was “not really planned.” I kept thinking to myself as I was planning this trip that I really couldn’t take my friend to Walt Disney World without taking him to EPCOT which was the normal plan. So, after some discussion with him while traveling down to Walt Disney World, we decided that we would spend a couple hours in EPCOT. This would require for me to upgrade his ticket to a park hopper for just one day of the trip. I thought it was worth it so that he can experience a portion of the Flower and Garden Festival, as well as, see many of my favorite areas of Walt Disney World.
We would arrive at EPCOT before rope drop, and they had everyone waiting up until Spaceship Earth.
This view doesn’t get old!
We were ready for a fantastic day of exploring!
Well, when the park opened, we had our first experience of “change of plans.” Test Track was closed and Frozen was closed. So, guess where everybody was going to?
I would have preferred to get my friend on Test Track, but that ride would not work for this adventure to EPCOT.
While we were in the Land Pavilion, we would also ride on Living With the Land!
Up next, it was time to ride inside the golf ball!
After traveling through the past, as well as, through space, we would then walk to another attraction to encounter space. This is where we would notice a monorail travel overhead!
We would then fly around the Earth on Mission Space (green side).
EPCOT is very beautiful during the Flower and Garden Festival!
We would then walk into Club Cool where I would tell my friend that “Beverly is the best drink on Walt Disney World property.” Since I may have said a little white lie, I would drink Beverly at the same time as him. I was actually pleasantly surprised though. Even though it was still bitter, it wasn’t as bad as I remember it.
World Showcase had now opened. So, how about a trip through Mexico on the Gran Fiesta Tour!
We would walk into China to try and see the Reflections of China movie. However, it was getting really close to the first showing of the Voices of Liberty and the end of our time in EPCOT. So, we both agreed to make our way over to the American Adventure!
It felt great to be “home” around the red circle and listen to some great music!!!
We would then walk around the rest of World Showcase as we made our way back towards the front of the park.
We would encounter the fountain that I always enjoy walking by when I’m in EPCOT.
It was then time to say farewell to EPCOT and make our way back to the resort for a break.
More in my next post!
I told him that I would practically force him to see the Voices of Liberty if we went to EPCOT.Are you sure HE wanted to see EPCOT? I think you just wanted to see Voices of Liberty!
Those flower and garden signs were all bent over after that wild thunderstorm that passed through last week when we were there!! I happened to be in line for Spaceship Earth as the storm began and it was WILD with all that crazy wind!! When I came out, I couldn't believe it had been so bad that the signs were actually bent over.
I was super excited to see some of them unwrapped, as well!! Now it seems from what I've seen online they have some character ones unwrapped as well. I can't wait to give them a try when we come back in December.
So, I'm going to blow your mind - first the juice is POG juice - Passionfruit, Orange, Guava juice. At AK and AKL, you can also get it at Tusker House (for all meals). And a slushy version at The Mara (all day long). The slushy is sometimes at Mahindi popcorn cart in AK too. And Dawa Bar sometimes has it.
- That's crazy! I heard about that storm. We've had a few good storms roll through the past couple days, but I guess that is Florida for you.
My mind is blown!!!
