Just spotted, in another TR, that Spice Road Table also serves hummus fries (without the topping). Have you tried those?

My guess is that we could have requested a sword instead (at CRT), but my daughter was happy to have a wand. She ended up coming home with several long handheld toys (sword, wand, scepter). I hope you like Soarin' more. I think I just never got the hype before, but I thought the new version...

Thanks!

Thanks! I'm not typically very spontaneous, but TL was so relaxing, it ultimately was a great experience. We will definitely plan TL days on future trips.

The next morning, we were feeling the leaving Disney World blues. We packed up around 830 and made our way to I-4. But DD was crying in the back, saying she wished we could go back to Typhoon Lagoon. I was crying in the front wishing we could go back in time and relive the whole week...

We purchased a mug, some magnets, and a new water bottle for DD (because 25 water bottles is too few, evidently). Then we took our last looks. We were sad but too tired to persist. We returned to the hotel, shopped in the store, relaxed in the room, had some dinner, and went to...

We managed to squeeze in another first: meeting characters at Storybook Circus. In the past, DD was too scared to meet non-face characters, but she decided she wanted to give it a try this time. She was fascinated by their costumes and couldn't stop touching them. I'm not sure how the...

We were cruisin'! Out of our first ride by 915. ;) I honestly don't know what order we did things this morning. It was a lot of bouncing around. So here are some jumbled pictures from July 29. Is the room actually stretching? No? DD decided she loves Haunted Mansion. Yea! The...

It was our bonus Disney Day! Off to the Magic Kingdom we go! Honestly, DD was dragging this morning. I think Typhoon Lagoon the previous day wore her out beyond levels that could be recovered. So this morning was partly about doing things we missed and keeping her as not-grumpy as possible...

So we were about to wind up our last afternoon at the Magic Kingdom, hearts growing heavy with sadness. So we saw this again: Based on my pictures, we hit Pirates one more time before leaving. I must've grabbed a FP+ on the fly. We also walked through the Emporium, picking up...

This day was our fourth and last park day, so ending the trip in the Magic Kingdom felt right. We took the monorail to the ferry and arrived at MK during the Festival of Fantasy. We caught the parade from the patio outside of the Tinkerbell/Mickey meet-and-greet. Honestly, I was just...

Based on wait times I saw while I was there, that sounds like a good plan. I would've done the same, but DD wanted to rope drop Soarin' instead. But wait times in order of longest to shortest were FEA, TT, and Soarin' consistently. Soarin' still got over an hour, though. :-/ TT FP does have...

To Test Track we went, Fastpasses in hand! It was a cosmic intervention, I swear, that allowed us to ride without succumbing to the sixty+ minute wait. Since I hadn't been on TT for years (since well before the refurb), I chose to go through the queue with DH and DD, but I didn't ride...

Shall we dine here? Or here? Nah, let's check on walk-in availability here: Twenty minute wait at about 1230 in July? Sure, we'll wait. We ordered a large, simple pie to share and added eggplant to half of it. That eggplant was fine but not nearly worth the price...

This meet and greet was just as sweet as the first. The wait time was listed as fifteen. We didn't wait more than seven or eight minutes. Not even enough time to photograph the charming details of the Sommerhaus (however we spell that). I love the paint details and the amazing...

We began our journey around the World Showcase after Spaceship Earth. We started, again, in Mexico. DD colored another Duffy while I snuck in to buy her a silver cuff bracelet. I have a couple of pieces from when I was a kid that I purchased in the pavilion, so I figured this might be a fun...

The next morning we boarded a bus to Epcot to complete what we started the night before. I was hoping to make it all the way around World Showcase, plus DD was hoping to ride both Soarin' and Test Track. I figured it was improbable that we would ride both without at least one being a massively...

I was really concerned about not having enough Epcot time, so it ended up being perfect that she wanted to go this particular afternoon. But I was still worried we couldn't do Frozen, TT, and Soarin'. I'll explain more in the next post, but we 'lucked' into another downed ride that resulted...

When we walked through the door to the room where the sisters meet, Elsa was coming to greet us as the door. DD yelled "Elsa!" and gave her a huge hug. Too fast for me and my camera, but I love the memory regardless of the blurry picture. Elsa can work a cape, man. I don't remember...

So we were done with rides that had short wait times in Future World, so I directed my people to World Showcase. When I visited Epcot when I was a kid, we always started in Mexico, so that's my default. Besides, we had to be in Norway soon! Once inside, DD became enamored with...
