Disney World for Adults

For spring break we decided to travel to Orlando, Florida and take on Disney World as adults. We stayed at the Port Orleans French Quarter for 2 nights. The resort was great and has a boat directly to Downtown Disney! Then we stayed at a Condo only about 10-15 minutes away from the park.

Using our fast pass helped a lot and being able to check wait times on the disney app was another big help. 

Downtown Disney 

*We ate at Portobello Italian: this was delicious 

*Ghirardelli chocolate for dessert..looks like a long line but it wasn't 

*Toy store I built my own Mr. Potato head for my classroom (there are only certain parts you can get in Disney World) 

Epcot 

We ended up going our first day there and our last.

Sunday (Day 1 of Epcot): 

Fastpass uses for Soarin, Spaceship Earth, & Finding Nemo ...Soarin was a good ride and worth the fast pass all the other wait times didn't really need the fastpass. After the Nemo ride is a huge aquarium we saw manatees & dolphins put on a show. We ate at The Coral Reef restaurant we had reservations for it was alright food with a really cool atmosphere. We walked through all the worlds ate in Japan for dinner and stayed for the show Illuminations. Drinks we had bubble tea, german beer, and asian alcohol. 

Friday (Day 2 of Epcot): 

Fastpass for Fast Track & Mission Space. Fast track was a great ride and Mission space was a pretty cool simulator ride. We also did Ellen's energy adventure which was a good ride to relax since it's 40 minutes long but not very exciting. We looked at Flower & Garden show exhibits and went through the worlds for lunch/ snacks. Foods we tried pineapple soft serve with rum, candied strawberries, & rose blush lemonade. 

Must dos Epcot: Soarin, Aquarium, Fast Track, Tour the Worlds , & Illuminations 

Animal Kingdom 

Wednesday (We did this 1/2 day and started in the morning) 

We didn't use our fastpass for this park we used them for Hollywood Studios. We rode Mount Everest, Dinosaur, & went to It's a Bugs Life show. The wait for the Safari was too long so we missed out on that. We had some unique foods & beverages that were African & Asian.

Magic Kingdom 

Thursday 

Fastpass use: Big Thunder Mountain, The Jungle Cruise, & Space Mountain. 

We also did the Monster's Inc. Laugh Floor, People Mover, & Pirates of the Caribbean. 

We watched 3 parades morning, afternoon, & night. The afternoon parade called Fantasy parade had the most characters with the best music. The night entertainment was magical the parade, light show on the castle, and then fireworks. This park for me = Disney World. 

Must dos: Parades, Night Show, Space Mountain, Pineapple Dole Whip & Monster's Inc. Laugh Floor 

Make sure you have down time since there is a lot of walking, walk around with alcohol, enjoy the food & use the fastpass so you don't have to wait in line!
