Trip Report EPIC/WDW/SWO Trip Report - June 2025

Officially starting my June 2025 trip report thread. In a little under two weeks I'll be visiting Universal, Disney, and SeaWorld.
The plan is one day of resort hopping at WDW after we land, with an ADR booked for 1900 Park Fare, and then fireworks from either Contemporary or Poly, one day of USF, one IoA, two EPIC, then a day of park hopping WDW while hanging out with some of my Cast Member friends from Dreamers Academy, then a day of SeaWorld, and Disney Springs in the 7 hour day before we leave for the airport.
I can't wait!

Spoiler: Epic Universe spoilers

What a fun day! I’m not gonna give a lot of commentary as it’s essentially the same as yesterday so enjoy the photos

Post 1/2 for photo limit

Post 2/2. Not adding commentary as none is really needed

Spoiler: Epic Universe spoilers

Just transferred to Caribbean Beach for the rest of the trip!

End of Day 5. Tomorrow: EPCOT/Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Day 6! Epcot and Hollywood Studios
Started the day right with a root beer float

Signed Figment’s guest book!

Met up with my Disney Dreamers Academy rep during lunch (we specifically chose this restaurant so we could see him, he’s apparently some form of management in Dining at the Land)

Chip

Dale

Mickey

Pluto

And then someone high-up (one of the big bosses) came by and said hi, said James speaks very highly of me and she heard I was here so she wanted to come meet me in person. Had a fantastic conversation with her.

She even dropped off free desserts, compliments of The Land!!

Post 1/2.

Post 2/2. Hopped to Hollywood for Villains and Mermaid. Loved those but I don’t have photos of them so here’s some Monsters Inc construction instead

Then we went back to the hotel for a while, chilled, took a nap. Went back for Fantasmic. Again, don’t have many photos from Hollywood, so enjoy what I do have from the night.

And went back to the hotel for dinner

End of Day 6. Tomorrow: Magic Kingdom!

 

[TheCoasterNerd]

What a day. Not a ton of photos today but we had a blast at Magic Kingdom!
Flying dumpster from the BTMRR retrack I leaked

And the reach test on the trains

Lunch with a view of Small World

Said my goodbyes to the riverboat

Saw Country Bears with @Drew the Disney Dude and Boardwalk Times

Went to the island for a while only to find the fort is (seemingly permanently) closed already

Hung out at the hotel for a while and went back for fireworks from outside Be Our Guest!

Of course, now, my feet are getting to be blistered and agonized but im having a blast!

End of Day 7. Tomorrow: Pool morning, SeaWorld Orlando

 

[TheCoasterNerd]

Sadly I got a really bad crick in my neck today while I slept so we skipped our park day. So we went to the pool and watched Luminous in the pouring rain.

End of Day 8. Tomorrow: actually SeaWorld Orlando, and flight home.

What did you think of the second generation wand? I'm debating on whether to get one on my next Universal trip.

What did you think of the second generation wand? I'm debating on whether to get one on my next Universal trip.

It was great! The interactions with the app were cool, and the vibration/lights definitely make it easy to know when you’ve completed it. Also, the second-gen has different results for some spells than the regular wands. Now, it’s my first wand, so I don’t have comparison, but I talked to team members and it definitely seems preferable. It’s also a lot more expensive though - $90
