There’s a First Time for Everything!

Yesterday, Katy H.  and I took Anne to Disney for her first visit ever! In 27 years, she has never been to Walt Disney World. Whoa!

 

 

 

The girls met at my apartment in the morning. We had all been talking about the Cherry Chocolate Bomb Shake and decided to try one randomly.

 

It made a lot, but we actually did not like it.

 

 

I’m not sure if we did something wrong, but we just weren’t WOWED like we had expected. Maybe it was the chocolate powder? Not really sure.

 

We attempted to drink most of it, but I opted for a CLIF bar half way through.

 

After our shake adventure, we set out to Disney! The first park we hit up was Hollywood Studios (old MGM).

 

 

My new favorite ride is the Toy Story Adventure.

 

 

You get to wear sexy 3-D glasses and basically go into a life sized video game.

 

 

I was Player 1, Anne is Player 2. We both one e-bunnies.

 

 

Next, we hit up Rockin’ Roller Coaster.

 

It was pretty much a blasty.

Around noon, we headed back to the car to grab lunch. We packed a cooler full of food so that we wouldn’t waste money at the park.

 

 

I packed a salad that had:

• spring mix
• apple slices
• strawberries
• grapes
• almonds
• poppyseed dressing

 

  

 

…and an Almond butter sandwich.

 

 

I also grabbed a bag of Trader Joe’s sweet potato chips to munch on in the afternoon.

 

 

Next up, MAGIC KINGDOM!

 

 

The park looks beautiful right now. They have it all decorated for spring!

 

  

 

We hit up the major rides, and then headed to EPCOT.

 

 

I’ve been so many times, but I still really love it!

 

Katy told us there is a part where you can taste sodas from around the world. I have never done that before, and was really excited about it!

 

 

I sampled all of the flavors. Some I liked… others, not so much.

 

 

My favorite was Germany’s Mezzo Mix. It is a mixture of coke and orange. Good stuff! I wish we could buy that stuff here!

 

 

My least favorite was Costa Rica’s Fanta. It tasted like something the dentist tells you to “swish and spit” (aka Flouride).

 

We spent the late afternoon wandering around the park.

 

 

 

Anne and Katy took so many pictures, I can’t wait to see their blog posts.

 

 

It was difficult to choose a country to stop for dinner in. We ended up going with Morocco after I told them they had hummus!

 

 

I ordered the Falafel Wrap with hummus and couscous on the side.

 

 

As the sun set on EPCOT, we decided to head out.

 

 

We met up with Caitlin at the bar for a quick happy hour.

 

 

I had a Blue Moon, and then hit they hay.

 

 

It was such a long day, but so worth it! It’s always fun to go to Disney with someone who has never been.

 

Sorry that my posting has been so sporadic, I have been having too much fun!

 

Hi-ho, hi-ho, it’s off to work I go!
