Hello friends, I hope you are well! Welcome back to another Disney trip recap! Today I am sharing everything I can remember from my 8th trip to Walt Disney World! From what I learned, to my favourite moments, I’m sharing it all! I will share a video below, and the main points of our trip below the video. Okay, let’s get started!

The Basics of the trip

• first trip with DSLR’s
• February 2015
• was hot and got colder during the week
• stayed at Caribbean Beach
• went to Epcot on Ethan’s Birthday!
• Ethan’s first time seeing Illuminations: reflections of Earth
• ate at Via Napoli, 50’s Prime Time Diner, California Grill and Raglan Road
• not on the dining plan- tried to keep track of food expenses
• “worst” trip (more of an explanation in the video)
• I was struggling with anxiety (final semester of college is so much fun!)
• flights were a problem- Ethan didn’t have a seat on the first flight
• we were given the wrong room number 🙁
• saw the Train Station opening show for the first time!
• Keys to the Kingdom tour (I would HIGHLY recommend it!)
• saw Festival of Fantasy for the first time
• first time on Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
• first time on Splash Mountain at night!
• I learned that not every trip is going to be “magical”

Hello friends! I hope you are well! In today’s Disney post I’m sharing another recap! The trip I will be talking about today I took in May 2013, and it was just Ethan and I! I’m going to be sharing some pictures, the things that I still remember and the things that I learned from this trip, all in the video below! I’ll also be breaking down the main points of our trip below. Okay, let’s get started!

the video

The basics

• May 2013, just Ethan and I
• we drove with my Mom to Buffalo to save money
• stayed at Port Orleans Riverside- a beautiful (but confusing) resort!
• We were at the parks very close to opening every day! We would grab a coffee and head to the bus stop!
• took breaks in the afternoon (and napped!)
• Flower & Garden festival was happening!
• We saw La Nouba for Ethan’s Birthday!
• This trip was Ethans first time to Animal Kingdom!
• Ethan still missed Illuminations because we headed back to the hotel during our Epcot day when I wasn’t feeling well
• Ate at: San Angel Inn, The Plaza, Paradiso 37, 50’s Prime Time Diner, and Be Our Guest!
• we were on the Disney Dining Plan
• dinner times all over the place- my stomach wasn’t happy 🙁
• What I learned this trip: it’s ok to take a break! And try to schedule meals around the same time so you aren’t eating at a different time every day!
