Spring Break Part Three

Our regular Epcot day was Tuesday. We started in the afternoon and the boys and I rode Mission Space. It was Wesley's first time on the more intense side (Orange). 

Then we went to lunch at Garden Grill in the land. The boys love that it is all you can eat and I love that the chef makes me a safe plate of things I can eat (including dessert). And I got to see some of the characters! 

Then we were off to ride Soarin!

We rode Figment as a family and then the boys and I rode Remy.

And in the pastry shop in France I was able to get allergy safe Macarons! 

We wandered around a little bit more before heading back to the resort. It's the flower and garden festival and there are so many pretty displays and character topiaries. 

 

Spring Break Part Two

Parker went back to school early on Monday morning. The day ended up super rainy but the rest of us managed to get in some time between showers at Animal Kingdom. 

Our first stop was the redone show in the Tree of Life - now themed for Zootopia - super cute!

We caught the Lion King show too - always a favorite. 

Standing in line for the Kilimanjaro Safari - there were several exotic and domestic animals out and about. 

The drizzly rain didn't keep the animals away on the safari. We still managed to see a lot: giraffes, elephants, rhinos, cheetahs and the lions. 

We closed out the day with me and Wesley and Davis riding Expedition Everest - we were all in different cars - riding in the single rider line cut our wait time in half. 

 

Spring Break Part One

Saturday we checked into the Bonnet Creek Resort on Disney property for Spring Break. Our apartment is located in tower 2 and this is the view across the lake of some of the other towers. We went for a walk around the lake and there are all kinds of turtles and koi fish out there. 

We have a nice two bedroom unit on the 6th floor. From our balcony you can look out over the parking lot towards Caribbean Beach resort and see the Tower of Terror in the distance. From the boys bedroom you can see the top of Spaceship Earth in Epcot and clearly watch the fireworks every night. 

On Sunday morning we started at House of Blues for brunch and then wandered around Disney Springs for a while. I got a scone from Erin McKennas! 

Later that evening, Parker, Daryl and I went over to Epcot to try out the new Geo82 Bar in Spaceship Earth. It was really cool and had great appetizers and drinks. I had a glass of Portugese wine and hummus with lentil chips. Daryl got a bourbon flight and Parker got a cocktail and they split a charcuterie board. 

We walked around in the drizzly rain for a bit later and got our steps in before heading back to the apartment.
