Trip Report Finally Back in Our Happy Place. A Three Week Trip With a Cruise Included

We’ve been back for just over a week from what was a wonderful three weeks. There were a few hiccups, but for the most part Disney World was just as we remembered it.

This trip was me and my two youngest daughters, Alice (18) and Lexi (15)

We stayed at Pop Century from July 7th-20th, then sailed on the Disney Magic from July 20th-25th, then French Quarter for the last three nights, July 25th-28th. For the Pop Century part of the trip we had the UK 14 day park tickets which included the waterparks.

Still on our way

Still taking photos of waterfalls

Frozen was already showing as a 40 minute wait, we were regretting not making more of an effort to get out early, but we still had quite a while before our first LL so got in the queue

The lantern reminded me more of Tangled than Frozen

So much detail in the queue, I think we’ve only waited once before, we used to always get FP+ for it

The queue was moving pretty quickly and we ended up waiting closer to 20 minutes

Then a snack, Chocolate Kringla, this was delicious

Next was our first LL, Guardians of the Galaxy. We were so excited for this but I was also a bit nervous because I do get some motion sickness. I can’t ride the teacups without feeling ill but I can ride
Mission: SPACE orange, bit weird.

We were almost at the loading area and the just loaded vehicle was held for about ten minutes. We speculated that there might be a cleanup at the other end, not helping my nervousness.

Then our turn

This was the most fun ride ever, it’s definitely my favourite ride now, I laughed all the way round. We got One Way Or Another as our song and it was just perfect. And not the slightest bit queasy, I could have ridden it again.

Straight over to our next LL

Definitely tall enough now

I am so glad that you loved Guardians. I also love the ride! I think it gets a bad reputation for motion sickness. I always try to encourage people to give it a go at least once.

I may have spent far too much on more Lightning Lanes for it

Trust me, I get it!! I really have never been interested in an after hours party. I am more of an early bird than a night owl. However, I may do an Epcot after hours party just to ride Guardians over and over again!

I'm thinking I'll have to give Guardians another try. It made me so motion sick the first time I've never tried it again. And I don't get motion sick on anything other than Ratatouille (if I go more than once).

I hope you do get to ride it without feeling ill, I’m so glad I tried it. Strangely after being fine on Guardians, I did feel a bit off on Ratatouille. I think it was that there was so much on screens

I feel off on Ratatouille, too. I liked it a little more this time but I wore a motion patch behind my ear which I really liked. Usually, I just take the 3D glasses off.
