3/13
It was sooo early for our 4 am pickup to the airport and it seemed like eternity but the flight left eventually. It was about 10 when we landed. Got our rental and we checked in where Tore and I got our just engaged pins (in December). The room was ready but we were starving so we went to steak n shake. Went back to grab our luggage then wound up staying in for a while because Dimana and John were tired (which kinda ticked me off, if you wanted to relax, you should've gone to the caribbean OH IT FELT GOOD TO FINALLY SAY THAT OUT LOUD!!!) Eventually they got off their lazy rear ends and off we went to MK! We hit space mountain, and by the time we got out, it was time for dinner at O'hana! John and I did 2 lapu lapu's each at dinner, while tore and dimana each had 1 and split 1. The table next to us did not like us I'm sure. So off we went to MK again except with a buzz this time around lol. We did the parade and wishes and managed to squeeze in a few more rides then we went to the room cause we were beat.
3/14
Boma for breakfast (my favorite meal in all of disney). it was delicious as always. Then we hopped off to AK and was able to do everything we wanted to in a matter of a few hours. Then we went to EP. Did all of WS, SE, Soarin'. From there we went to dinner at Via Napoli with my friend Melissa. This is where it gets good. After dinner, we were getting ready for illuminations. So all 4 of us were freezing so John and I decided to go back to the car to get our coats/hoodies. Once we got the coats, I called Tore and she said that her, dimana, and melissa were in france. John and I walked through the gates of epcot at 8:46. We ran like hell because we were worried that we weren't gonna get to the grand marnier slush stand in time before it closed. So here we are running as fast as we can, we get to france, the girls are waving at us cause they think we're running towards them, instead we zip past them to the grand marnier stand at 8:59. It was hysterical. After illuminations, the 5 of us met up with my friends chris and gloria at the lounge at coronado springs. It was really nice, would definitely recommend checking it out if you've never been. Then we called it a night from there.
3/15
We did HS all day! Saw and did everything it was great. Nothing super important to note. I absolutely love the changes in OMD. I hope they never take it out, I'd be devastated. Got great seats for fantasmic. After the show, we met Chris and Gloria at Yachtsman's Steakhouse for dinner for Chris' 30th bday dinner! Phenomenal. Without a doubt, one of the greatest steaks anyone will ever have. John and Dimana were beat, so they got dropped off, then me, Tore, Chris, and Gloria went for drinks at Splitsville. If you go, have the chocolate covered pretzel shot, it was great!
3/16
Went to WWoHP. Absolutely loved it! Butterbeers are so good! The ride was amazing. The drawback was dueling dragons. John and Tore got really messed up from it. They were so bad that they didn't even wanna chance Hulk. We grabbed a bite to eat at Mythos which was a horrible experience. We got in on a walk in, they told us about 30 minutes, it was more like an hour. The appetizers took forever, our entrees came out about 2 minutes after the apps, no joke. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich, about a quarter of the way through, I felt/heard a crunch. I looked, it was a huge vein and blood the chefs didn't cut out I guess. From that point, I was disgusted and couldn't eat anymore. Would never go back there. After that, we did JP, we requested the back, hoping we wouldn't get too wet... how wrong we were lol. But it was a hot day and we were dry in an hour. Then Dimana and I did Hulk. Met up with John and Tore and did Spiderman. Then it was back to the magical place.
We finished the rest of Epcot, managed to get into chefs de france on a walk in! I liked it, nothing special though, wouldn't be in a rush to go back. then went back to MK, and banged out a few more rides since it was open late. Got on tta and BTMR (or as john calls it, brokeback mountain LOL) and got most of our shopping done.
3/17
Very bittersweet day to say the very least. Did breakfast at tommorowland terrace which was a first time for me and was very good too I might add! Only had time for a few rides, then it was off to the airport where I was and am currently pouting like a baby since I wanna go back
