Last time we came to Disney World, Gary didn't really get to see Epcot! So we made it our mission to see everything Epcot has to offer including each and every country and most of the attractions. Join us as we ride classics like Soarin' over California, Test Track, Spaceship Earth, Living with the Land and Mission Space. We also got cultured on the world showcase, stopped by the UK Pavilion so I could say 'hey' to old friends and topped it off with Illuminations: Reflections of Earth!
With so many new and exciting things to do at Animal Kingdom past the sun setting, we made sure to everything we possible could. Whilst Rivers of Light is currently in production, we took the opportunity to see the intermittent Jungle Book: Alive with Magic show filled with dancers, singers, live musicians, flame dancers and spectacular projections. We also rode Kilimanjaro Safaris at night, Expedition Everest at night, saw the classic Festival of the Lion King and saw the new Tree of Life awakening (Disney Version).
Downtown Disney was always one of my favourite places to hang out when living near Walt Disney World, now seeing the new Disney Springs in all its glory, it's just wonderful! We have a look at the new stores, bus station, lime parking garage, eat at Earl of Sandwich and head to the AMC theaters to see Finding Dory on opening day in the USA! We give you a little review of what we though and also check out the Finding Dory merchandise in Disney Springs. After enjoying Disney Springs, we head over to the Polynesian Village for a Dole Whip and then enjoy some Magic Kingdom faves as well as seeing Wishes from behind the castle! We got to eat at the Columbia Harbor House which we also review, ride Under the Sea With Ariel, Mad Tea Party, Jungle Cruise and see the Main Street Electrical parade.
Animal Kingdom is partnered with Magic Kingdom as my favourite park, so we took this morning to go back and do some of our favourite attractions! We rode Expedition Everest, Kilimanjaro Safaris, had a look around the shops and then went over to Epcot to try out the brand spanking new Soarin' Around the World! Whilst i haven't show the full show or a POV, we both give you a little review and let you know what we think. After that... we nearly died from the heat, so we retire to Port Orleans Riverside for dinner at the quick service (QSR) the Riverside Mill and have a dip in the pool. I also did some washing. :)
Whilst the plan was to go to Typhoon Lagoon during the day, you'll see that it ends up just being a lazy one. After a well deserved recuperation time, we go to Hollywood Studios for dinner at the 50's Prime Time Cafe as well as riding Rock N' Roller Coaster, Tower of Terror, Star Tours and seeing the Storm Trooper March, the Star Wars daytime show & Fantasmic before Star Wars: Galactic Spectacular fireworks.
We had such an awesome day at Universal Studios Florida! The objective of the day was to do the major attractions in both parks all in one day! Daniella kindly gifted Gary and I tickets to come and play so special shoutout to Daniella for being so wonderful! We met up with friends Kat and Dylan later in the day but ALSO got to say a quick hello to the dashing Patrick Dougall from Thingamavlogs, the beautiful Francis Dominic from Instagram and the wacky Josh Solomon from a cave somewhere (YouTube)! We got to ride some of my old time faves including The Mummy, Rip Ride and Rock It, The E.T. Adventure, Transformers, Men in Black, Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts, Forbidden Journey and we caught a technical rehearsal (soft opening) of Skull Island: Reign of Kong! The two from the UK also got to try Olive Garden again and it was everything!
Starting in Epcot, we meet up with Patrick Dougall from Thingamavlogs and Francis Dominic from Instagram and head straight to our fastpasses for the NEW! Frozen Ever After attraction on opening day! With a 5 to 6 hour wait... we were very grateful for the fastpasses! We also then visit the Royal Sommerhaus to meet Anna & Elsa, China to meet Mulan and Germany to meet Snow White. Patrick and I then take a trip to Magic Kingdom to see Festival of Fantasy on Main Street, meet Ariel as well as riding Under the Sea with Ariel. We also got to see the new Mickey's Royal Friendship Faire after lunch at the Columbia Harbour House. After a very long and successful day I head back to Port Orleans Riverside to meet up with Gary and say goodbye to Little P, Patty, Patrick take your pick. ;)
Josh joins us at Port Orleans Riverside to begin a magical adventure in Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom! We hit some classic attractions like Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor, The Barnstormer, see the new Mickey's Royal Friendship Faire and we got to meet four Disney Princesses! We then head to Epcot for the evening to experience Frozen Ever After for a second time, Soarin' Around the World for a second time and we also head to the Rose & Crown in the United Kingdom Pavilion for dinner on the lagoon to close our vacation with Illuminations: Reflections of Earth!
With just a few hours before we had to get Disney's Magical Express service back to Orland International Airport, we say a fond farewell to our Royal Guest Room at Port Orleans Riverside before heading to Disney Springs. Once there we of course head to World of Disney for some retail therapy and also stop by Earl of Sandwich for some lunch. It's also worth noting I give you a little look at the menu should you be interested ;). A quick stop at Ghirardelli for some sweet treats and then it's the hunt for basketball shorts! We head to the Town Centre are of Disney Springs (the new bit) and check out a couple of stores so I can grab those very American light fitting shorts. :) After, we head back to Port Orleans via the Disney Transport Service (the bus) to grab our bags from left luggage and check out our memory maker photos (and give you a quick review). But... then we board the Magical Express home.
In today's vlog I travel from Walt Disney World in Florida to Disneyland Resort in Anaheim California. I leave my Royal Guest Room at Port Orleans Riverside and board the Magical Express to MCO (Orlando International Airport). Once there I check-in for my Delta Economy Comfort Flight to LAX (Los Angeles International). After breakfast at Burger King (???) I then fly some four and a half hours to California. After touching down I travel with Prime Time Shuttle (booked via Shuttle2Lax) to the Marriott Anaheim just next to the Anaheim Convention Centre. Once there, I 'deflightitise' and head straight to Disneyland Resort via the Toy Story parking lot shuttle. I head to my favourite Disney park in the world, Disney California Adventure. Once inside I meet up with my good friend Francis Dominic, I ride California Screamin', Louigie's Dancing Car ride, I see Frozen Live at the Hyperion and ride Radiator Springs Racers.
In today's vlog I start the day getting my credentials for the D23 Expo then make the journey to Disneyland Park! Once inside I teach myself and show you guys how to use Disneyland's new free MaxPass/Fastpass system. I first get a Fastpass for the Matterhorn and Indiana Jones. After checking wait-times on the Disneyland app, I take a ride of Pirates of the Caribbean! I also ride Big Thunder Mountain, Space Mountain and I get lunch at the Red Rose Tavern. I then walk over to Disney California Adventure for a little stroll and a quick ride on California Sreamin'! I bump into the Mayor of Buena Vista Street and then head back to the Marriott Anaheim for a rest. That's when I see just how burned and tanned I am! After enjoying a room service pizza, I head back to Disney California Adventure for the nighttime spectacular World of Color (colour for all us Brits).
Today marks the first day of the D23 Expo 2017 in California. Before I jump into the convention head first, Kieran and I head to iHop to eat a hardy breakfast to get ready for the day ahead. I then get in the rather long line to enter the convention. I pass through ticket scanning, security and manage to pick up my free tote bag, souvenir guide and a lanyard. Once inside the convention hall I give you guys a mini tour in an effort to have a quick look around and try and gain my bearings. I start off wondering through the emporium which features many different sellers from around the world. There's even one store dedicated to just sorcerer Mickey stuff! I then take a stroll towards one of the store whereby I bump into my friend Tiffany Mink. You may recognise Tiff from the Thingamavlogs or her awesome magic inspired store WhosItsAndWhatsIts. I then get into a three hour line for the Disney Store. I do give you a brief look at what's available in the store once I get inside.
Day 1 of this NEW Walt Disney World Vlog series begins with my stay at Bloc Hotel ahead of our British Airways flight to Orlando International in Florida (MCO). Whilst at London Gatwick Airport, UK (LGW), we get some food and prepare for our 9.5 hour flight. Whilst on-board I'll share my experience of the flight including how comfortable the flight was and what the food is like. Upon arriving in Orlando, we take Disney's Magical Express to Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. Here we check in to our Club Level access savannah view room. The room offers amenities such as two sinks, large TV, two queen beds, fantastic theming, iron, robes, safe and coffee maker. We were kindly gifted with a hamper of edible treats as courtesy of the Walt Disney World team. We make our way to Disney's Animal Kingdom for a quick evening visit of Pandora: The World of Avatar at night and a ride on Kilimanjaro Safaris at night.
