Favorite park and why
Hadley:
Magic Kingdom because the rides were the biggest and best and the most
Emily:
I would say my favorite park was EPCOT although I think we all agreed that it was only fun because we had an Auntie that bought us all the good snacks and knew all the best spots. I also loved Animal Kingdom, I think itâs kind of a sleeper hit and I can imagine if you're not an animal person you could probably take it or leave it. I genuinely couldnât believe they had real animals though. So cool! I think I like both of those because they are the least like Disneyland which I went to many times growing up. They felt like entirely new theme park experiences.
Alyse:
If I had to pick a favorite park it would probably be Epcot because it surprised me the most and there was so much different stuff to see which was awesome.
Callie:
My favorite park was definitely Hollywood studios because I loved all the rides there because they were exciting and at the end of the day it cooled down and was super nice and pretty sunset
Elynn:
I can't decide between Epcot or Hollywood Studios I like Epcot because of all the things to see. I liked Hollywood for the ride and how pretty it was during sunset.
Addisen:
Animal Kingdom- Felt the most balanced with big and small rides. I felt like we could get everything done and it wasn't as busy. More shaded and didn't feel rushed.
Leilani:
My favorite park is Epcot because of the food and the immersive experience with all of the cultural aspects! I love that they have things from the specific countries and how they sell things from the actual places and not just all Disney themed things! Animal kingdom is a close second for me though!
Favorite Attraction
Hadley:
Tron because it was really fast and fun
Emily:
Well, one of my favorite rides at Disneyland is Rise of the Resistance but it is essentially the same at Disney World so Iâm going to say Avatar Flight of Passage. There really is nothing quite like it, and itâs incredibly immersive. I would recommend it to literally everyone I know. Even if you donât like the Avatar movies that almost doesnât matter, itâs just a cool ride.
Elynn:
Tower of terror
Addisen:
Guardians of the Galaxy, gotta love the 80s music
Leilani:
My favorite ride is flight of passage because it really feels like you're flying and the views it takes you on are so magical and I wish I could actually go there! I love the details of the breathing of the banshee, the water droplets when you go over the water, and the scents of flowers, grass, and water! It feels like you're really there!
Favorite food
Hadley:
Chinese potstickers and egg rolls with soy sauce
Emily:
Iâm a Dole Whip girly. Itâs hands down the best thing at both Disney parks and I HAVE to get one any time I go. Other than that I think I liked the gyoza and egg rolls we go (donât remember where but Iâm sure Torie knows). I watch those things pretty regularly in my day to day life but there is something about being exhausted and sweaty sitting on the floor eating them that made it magical.
Alyse:
Best food were the potstickers in China or the chocolate crepe in France.
Callie:
The best food was the food from the Sci-Fi restaurant and I got a American burger and fries and fried pickles
Elynn:
The Dole Whip swirl float or the purple moose cake at Animal Kingdom
Addisen:
Hazelnut crepes in France. I will be dreaming about that forever.
Leilani:
This is a hard one because I am a foodie just like my mama, but the ratatouille galette was so good and the Texas toast brisket sandwich and the Mac and cheese at the Regal Eagle was unexpectedly amazing! The lemon sorbet from Italy was extra refreshing in the extreme heat though for sure.
What surprised you most
Hadley:
How decorated everything was and that everything was perfectly made to match a theme
Emily:
How NOT tired I was at the end of the trip. I woke up the day we were flying home and was like âI could do it again todayâ. I was also impressed with how eventually you just accept the heat and forget about it. I donât think anyone complained about how hot it was and we were always so busy that you could even really think about it. Cooling cloths and hand held fans were definitely our life savers though!
Alyse:
What surprised me was how detailed everything was but especially the lines for rides. Compared to Disneyland everything was more interactive and interesting to look at. Also just the technology and engineering that takes place to make the parks happen.
Callie:
The thing that surprised me the most was Epcot because I had no idea that it was going to be decorated to well and that made it fun to see
Elynn:
I was surprised how much I enjoyed Epcot, I thought I wouldn't like it that much because I like thrill rides.
Addisen:
Epcot, only park I haven't been to before. I haven't heard many people talk about it but I was so cool. Underrated
Leilani:
The Nemo sea ride in Epcot surprised me the most because I was not expecting a whole entire aquarium after the ride! That was such a cool surprise and I had never seen a manatee in my life and they're a lot bigger and cuter than I would've expected haha
Rope drop or sleep in?
Hadley:
Rope Drop
Emily:
Rope drop 100%. Iâm all here for it. That being said, I am a morning person, but itâs SO MUCH cooler in the morning and you can get so many things done before the lines get crazy. Itâs absolutely worth it in the summer.
Alyse:
#Ropedrop, sleep is for the weak
Callie:
I think Rope dropping is better because it's cooler in the morning and you are able to get some of the longer line rides done early on
Elynn:
Definitely rope drop.
Addisen:
Rope drop. The cool morning makes all the difference.
Leilani:
I know you're expecting me to say sleep in, but because of the extreme heat in July, rope dropping is the move. My body just hates waking up that early hahaha. But in December and may I'm sleeping in for sureeeeee
Most cherished memory:
Hadley:
The third time riding tower of terror and pretending to control it
Emily:
This has nothing to do with the parks, but I will always remember how easy it was to connect and relate to everyone, even after not seeing people for years. This was definitely different than seeing people at family reunions, we all just got to be completely ourselves and discover that we all are very much the same. Before we all left I said âI really donât think you could have this much fun on a trip without doing it with people you vibe with as much as we doâ. I will always remember how close this made us.
Alyse:
The evening at Hollywood studios and magic kingdom, re-riding tower of terror and Tron but also being able to see everything at night
Callie:
The night at Hollywood studios and riding tower of terror 3 times
Elynn:
Hanging out at night at Hollywood and Magic kingdom, riding Tower of Terror and Tron 3 times, and seeing the parks at night.
Addisen:
Sitting down to eat or have snacks and just being able to talk with everyone.
Leilani:
My favorite memory was all of us walking through the rain together any time it rained. It felt so good when it rained and I loved splashing in the puddles! Being able to talk to everyone and connect in a deeper level is for sure the best part of the trip. It was so much fun to be able to get to know everyone for who they are just as girls being girls
