Today, we have another guest blogger. The Birthday girl herself! Unfortunately, she missed the memo about having pictures to accompany it! When she writes for me, I normally edit it pretty heavily. But this time she asked me not to...so I am granting her this one wish.
Starting next week, we will be having some posts about cruising! One of my favorite subjects!
Disney trip June 2K16
June 18th 2016
This Disney trip
was for my birthday. I took my friend Cassie, and my niece Alyssa- along with
my mom who actually paid for the trip. We decided to stay at Port Orleans
French Quarter this time, because it was very friendly and clean compared to
other less expensive on-property resorts. The first day we got there, the check
in was pretty fast. We had a nice room and friendly service from pretty much
everyone at the resort. That night we went to “Ohana’s” for dinner at the
Polynesian resort. The food was amazing (especially the wantons)….

Today was actually my birthday (and father’s day)
First we went to church (we got lost on the way so we were
late), and after that we headed back to the hotel and then to animal kingdom.
We ate at Pizzafari and then rode all the rides that we liked. We didn’t have
enough time to see shows though, considering we had to be at Hollywood studios
for our fast passes. We got on the bus and went to Hollywood studios around
2:30 or so. We rode the basics first, which were tower of terror and
rock’n’rollercoaster. Then, we walked over to toy story mania and got to ride
in the new section of the ride. After that ride, we decided it would be almost
time for our dinner reservation. We were late getting to dinner at Sci-Fi drive
in, but it didn’t matter anyway because the food was disgusting. I mean the
milkshakes and water bottles were good, but the actual food would’ve been
better if it wasn’t raw. Literally all of our burgers/steaks were reddish in
the middle. After dinner, Cassie and I went over to tower of terror while mom
and Alyssa went to the voyage of the little mermaid. We rode tower of terror 4
times in a row. Then we went back to the hotel and basically collapsed. We were
exhausted

Today was our Epcot
Day… aka the day I could finally spend my money on cool but useless things from
around the world
The first objective for the day was to find a ride with a
small line that didn’t require a fast pass. All of our fast passes were for
after lunch, excluding spaceship earth
We figured since it was Cassie’s first time at Disney world
that she didn’t want to be the only one to be having all the first experiences.
So we went to mission space. I had ridden it before, but only on the green mode
so we picked orange for the first time. The wait wasn’t long for the ride but
we saw a lot of people backing out and deciding not to ride, so that made us a
little nervous. When we got on the ride and honestly it wasn’t that bad. When
we got off it just made our legs super wobbly. It was getting close to
lunchtime so we chose to head over to the counter service restaurant in Mexico.
The food was absolutely amazing to be honest. We had a reservation to go to at
the beach club’s beaches and cream for a Kitchen Sink ice cream. It was huge
and we obviously did not eat it all. After our ice cream we went to Soarin’ and
test track, which were equally fun. It was time to head to our dinner
reservation so we went to Italy to eat tutto italia, which was really good. We
didn’t stay for fireworks because we were too tired but we still had fun.

Magic kingdom day
It was a pretty straightforward day all around, even though
it was our last day
We had a pass for the early morning magic so that was cool.
Except it was basically useless. It only got us in 45 minutes early than it
normally would. We got to ride the mine train, and peter pan early so that took
care of that. We went to Space Mountain and a couple of other rides before we
went to lunch at “Be our guest”. The food was amazing, no surprise, and it came
out fast because we pre-ordered. We rode more rides, saw a few shows, and got
some snacks then watched the electrical parade at 10. Cassie and I decided to
stay for the extra magic hours but ended up leaving anyway because our feet
hurt. All in all it turned out to be a good day at my favorite park
In conclusion, the trip was fun. Hot, but fun. There were a
few bumps along the road but nothing that we couldn’t fix relatively easy. I
rate the trip10/10, and would definitely do again.
