Thurs 19 Disney Springs and EPCOT

We needed to get our magic bands so went to Disney Springs on the ferry from the hotel for the 11am opening and went straight to Gideons for some delicious cookies! 20 minute wait, worth every minute, my husband went to Erin McKenna for some vegan treats. Both delicious! Then we headed to level 3 of the Coke shop to try the tray of Cokes from all over the world. This was fun! Planet Hollywood opens at 11.30 so that was our last stop. Very easy! Off to EPCOT.

There didn’t seem to be direct routes from Disney Springs to the parks, so we grabbed a rideshare (make sure you have Uber and Lyft so you can compare prices, and always tip a couple of dollars.

Epcot was busy, it was kind of hard to tell where the shops are, this was probably jet lag! There is a lot of walking for what felt for little pay off. Maybe it’s because we have been to many of the countries in the world showcase? It’s just wasn’t that exciting. There aren’t loads of attractions here. Today we went on Remy and Frozen twice.

Full EPCOT rides list, and what I thought of the ones we went on in total:

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure (this is sweet, same as Paris) Spaceship Earth The Seas with Nemo and Friends (this is not great) Soarin’

Living with the Land

Journey into Imagination with Figment (terrible) 

Frozen Ever After (this is sweet) 

Gran Fiesta Tour Featuring The Three Caballeros (not great) 

Mission Space 

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind 

Journey of Water Moana walk-thru attraction (loved this)

After a hot day with way too much walking, we wanted to go for a swim at the 24h pool close to our room, but it was closed. Walked to Ol Man Island and had an excellent time there for a couple hours.
