Sorry I've been MIA lately. I just got home from an epic trip to India (crazy, right?!)and it took me awhile to get back into my routine. I'm back and ready to share another awesome trip. Mr. Click had a conference in Orlando and I tagged along. We added a few days to our trip for Disney before the conference.
It felt a little strange going to
Disney without the kids but we decided to embrace being "Disney Adults" and head out on our own. We are huge Disney fans and have spent lots of time in the parks but hadn't been there since 2017.
Of course I had to plan some outfits for the trip! You may remember some of these shirts from
this post.
We left on a rainy morning and before we knew it...
...we were sitting poolside having a late lunch!
We stayed at the
Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista -Disney Springs Area (that's a mouthful!). When we found out that it was considered a Disney property with all of the perks, we were thrilled. Our original room wasn't ready but they offered us this suite that was huge.
This balcony must have been over 30 feet long and had an amazing view of Disney Springs. We spent our first afternoon at the pool and settling in.
We went to Downtown Disney err...Disney Springs for dinner ( I still call it Downtown Disney!). The hotel had a pathway leading to a bridge that crossed right over to Disney Springs. It went over the highway and was so easy to navigate.
We tried the new Summer House on The Lake restaurant. It was beautiful inside and out.
They also have a coffee and cookie bar for take out. Look at those cookies!
Dinner with a view.
We did some "shopping" and walked around.
We also enjoyed all of the Pride Month photo ops. Yay Disney! We love listening to entertainment around Disney Springs too.
We stayed for the new drone show called
Disney Dreams That Soar. People had been lining up over an hour before it started. We didn't have the best spot but we could still see most of it. It's quite impressive and hard to believe they are synchronized drones!
A look at the night sky from our balcony. Time for bed!
We were up bright and early to join the virtual queue for Tron (we had to educate ourselves about the new Disney ride options and rules like Genie+, Lightning Lanes and Virtual Queues before our trip). We also wanted to get an early bus over to Magic Kingdom from the hotel for the Early Entry perk.
We made it!
We had a great morning at Magic Kingdom and got on many of our favorite rides in the first half hour during early entry.
We later went on some easier to get on rides like It's a Small World
and The People Mover (always a welcome break from the heat and crowds).
We grabbed lunch at Casey's Corner on Main Street. Believe it or not, we'd never eaten there in all of our trips. I got a plant based hot dog. It was disappointing but the fries were good.
Onto EPCOT. We took the monorail over to EPCOT.
Of course I had to capture some pretty pictures.
We started in the World Showcase and tried to eat/drink our way around. First stop was France, where we shared some "champs" and some of a baguette.
We got a humungous pretzel in Germany but could not finish it.
We tried a beer in America. That was all we could eat/drink before we were completely full. #disneyfail
It wouldn't be a day in Disney without a rain storm to slow us down a bit. We stayed in the park after the rain for a little while but we were tired and ready to go back to the hotel.
We had a relaxing dinner at the hotel and then it was time for bed!
