Trip Report A Whole Lotta Driving Going on!

Hello everyone. Today, Crystal and I make our way to Disney! Our journey started almost 2 weeks ago on July 3. We've been traveling the Midwest and Gulf Coast visiting family and seeing the sites and are currently staying in Tallahassee visiting Brayden at FSU. We made stops in Indianapolis, Carlinville, IL, Amana, Iowa, Madison, WI, Oxford, MS, New Orleans, LA before making it to Tallahassee. We also made brief stops in other states along the way. Getting breakfast with Brayden later this morning before driving to Disney to get Maddy after her shift at Be Our Guest. The plan is to head to Epcot for extra evening hours tonight. I'll post pictures of our journey later. I look forward to sharing as we go.

He stops me every time I don't wear a Star Wars shirt and interrogates me. It's so embarrassing.

We came to Epcot with a primary purpose to ride Guardians and its down. It’s a bummer for us, but I feel so bad for those that this was their only day at Epcot and can’t ride it now.

Crystal had picked up a LL for Soarin’ so this ride will end our day in the parks.

I know someone gave me a heads up on park hoping and the new genie +, it’s all good. We’ve done it for a few days now

Another fun day. Waiting for the monorail back to the resort

@coachwnh --
I like your 2 photos of Spaceship Earth at night -- the one with blue lights, and the one with white lights above. Nice angles and framing in both of those photos.

Love to hear your take again on this. And exactly how you did park hopping using it.

It’s an inconvenience to us, but it stinks if you’re only in the park one day and they are down.

Decided to relax a bit and sleep in again. Crystal and I got a workout in earlier this morning on the trail.

Gotta ask every place looks empty are the crowds way down?

Brayden had the big boy drink. Tastes like gasoline to me

Dinner was excellent.

Just got called to Trader Sam’s. We checked in over 3 hours ago
