Florida - Epcot - Day 1 Part 2 2018-05-30

After a fun morning in Epcot, our afternoon started with a visit to Mickey and his friends.

As soon as Alli peeked around the corner and saw Mickey she started taking off running to him. Hold up Alli. Wait for them to finish up.

Okay, now you can go. Big hugs for the mouse.


And hi to Goofy.

And finally Minnie.

I've been pretty impressed by the crowds here today. The lines have been pretty short.

We walked right on to Finding Nemo.

Having to stop and give all the animals hugs before we leave.

At Journey into Imagination with Figment, there was a short line as well. A cast member asked Ian if he was having a good day and asked what his favorite thing was so far. "The sodas at Club Cool!" answer Ian. The cast member got a kick out of that, and said in his 2.5 years there, that's the first time a kid has answered that.


Time to visit Arendelle.

Pick me up Pop Pop. Me too Pop Pop.

We did not luck out with the fellow riders in our boat. Some other kid was having a meltdown and screamed the ENTIRE ride. My kids were wondering why he was crying.

Hi Elsa.


Giving the plushes hugs after this ride too.

Even Marshmallow needs some love.

Next we'd take a Grand Fiesta Tour with the Three Caballeros. When we arrived at the front of the line, Ian was leading us. He told the cast member "Party of 6", and she though he was so cute that she gave him the front row.

"Are we going to get wet on this ride?"

Everyone made it back.

When we were leaving Le Cellier earlier today I saw they had Maple Popcorn at this cart. I was way too stuffed to eat any then, but after walking around for a few hours, I'm good again. And what's this? You can get a souvenir bucket filled with caramel popcorn and get cheap refills? I'm in!

Well if there's a maple flavor, it's subtle. I'm tasting sweet, but not maple. Unfortunate, because I love maple.

During this trip, I was really hoping to visit all four parks, but didn't have any plans at Hollywood Studios. With no other plans in Epcot for now, everyone took the 1.5 mile walk through the Boardwalk over to Hollywood Studios.

Oh yeah, it's rainy. Alli caught a quick nap on the way over.

Inside Hollywood Studios the crowds were just as light as in Epcot. This really seems like a good time to visit WDW.

Killing some time before the Frozen sing-along starts. Alli had a great time chasing bubbles in front of the Chinese Theater.

Seriously. For more than 2 minutes. Just chasing bubbles. Oh to be a 2 year old. Thank you to the other little girl who was creating all those bubbles for that whole time.

Time for the Frozen sing-along. Alli wasn't feeling it and wouldn't sing along with any of the songs. And then she hated all the bubbles at the end. Bummer. I thought she'd love this one.

Getting a family photo in front of the Chinese Theater.

There was a beautiful sunset on the walk back to Epcot.

There was just enough time to stop by Club Cool before heading to our last ride.



Our last ride is the one that Ian's been asking to go on ever since we pulled into the parking lot. Can we ride on the giant ball?

At the end of the night, there was no line and we could walk right up. Greetings from the future.


And the future for us tomorrow holds the Magic Kingdom! See you there!

Oak Glen Apple Farms - Part 1

It's the weekend! This year we're not going to get the chance to fly to Michigan to visit the apple orchards there. Theresa was still really wanting to go and the kids have been getting really excited about picking apples so Theresa found a place relatively close by and made it happen! Welcome to Oak Glen! Just a 2 hour drive from our house, this mountain community had its first apple orchards planted all the way back in 1867. Now home to over 30 different orchards, this 5 mile loop is affectionately known as Apple Country. After Ian got out of school, everyone piled in the car and headed for the hotel T booked. We're making it a 2 day event, staying the night in between so we can get an early start in the morning. After checking in and getting up to our rooms, Ian was very happy to find a quarter (remember this one, it'll come back later). Time to head to our first orchard! Snow-Line Orchard has been in production since 1898. I was really happy to come on a Friday. It...

Alli takes on more 40" rides at Disneyland

It's been a full weekend already, spending 2 days in Oak Glen California visiting apple orchards, but we're not done yet. Weekends are perfect for a Disneyland visit. I love seeing all the different Halloween decorations, plus Alli just turned 40" tall so she's got lots of brand new things she can ride. Hats this week continue the Nightmare Before Christmas theme from last week. From left to right, we've got a Jack Skellington style top-hat from Disneyland years ago. Next is Jack Skellington bursting out of a pumpkin which I think was offered last year at Disneyland. Then there's a Scary Teddy hat, followed by a Santa Jack hat complete with beard. Both parks open today at 8am. At 8:05 we were in a long line of cars trying to enter the parking structure, and by 8:45 we had made it through security and were walking through Downtown Disney. I always opt to take the 1 mile walk from the parking garage to the entrance instead of dealing with the tram. One other ...

Oak Glen Apple Farms - Part 2

Good morning! Happy Saturday! Ready to head to the apple orchards? By staying overnight nearby, we were able to get an early start to the day and arrive right when the orchards opened on Saturday. The drive in to Oak Glen was quiet and peaceful. There was even one stretch were we saw deer amongst the apple trees eating their breakfast. Having read multiple reviews ahead of time, it was clear that this was going to be a madhouse later in the day. According to everything I read, Oak Tree Village opened up at 8am. I thought getting there around 8:30am would give everyone a little time to get set up. But when we arrived, it was like a ghost town. There's lots of shops stalls, but nothing is really open yet. Looking around for anything to do, at the back of the village we found a pen with chickens, a duck, a peacock, and some pigeons. And right there by the pen was a vending machine for corn feed. Ian asked if he could have money for it, but sorry buddy, I don't carry coins. Ian sud...
