Disneyworld 2020 | Epcot + Animal Kingdom

 

DAY 2 | Epcot + Animal Kingdom 

Since we had Park Hopper passes which means you could bounce around each park, back and forth as much as you'd like. They're currently not offering that at Disneyworld since they've reopened post civid-shut down and trying to limit capacity to a certain number of people in each park.

Now of course we could spend all day at each of these parks, but with limited days at Disney if you're going to squeeze in two parks it might as well be these two. Plus you'll see on our last day we ended up at Epcot after Hollywood Studios and were able to explore even more of Epcot. 

We didn't even visit Epcot when we took Cade when he was five, so this was a first for ALL of us! 

My best friend, Cameron, met us at Epcot mid morning too. We rode Soarin' (may have been my fav), the Nemo ride, Land of the Living...

(cute Mickey tees from Kohl's : shop similar here and here ) 

oh and it was also Epcot's International Festival of the Arts. Lots of street carts with artwork for sale, sculptures, displays and even artists creating masterpieces right there throughout the park.

we then went over to Norway and waited in the very long line for Frozen Ever After!

definitely a better ride than I anticipated. our faces...LOL....

we scooted back to the hotel to regroup and have a bite of lunch , then it was off to our second adventure of the day : ANIMAL KINGDOM...

(Chad's Hakuna Matata Tee was a fav. Shop similar HERE)

Kilamanjaro Safari was up first...

then we grabbed a dole whip before Festival of the Lion King show and because the parks were SO packed, we didn't do much more. 

Dinosaur ride , we did do that! Our faces again..... #ded

Then the oldest crew (everyone minus me, Charlie and Cameron who didn't have fast passes) went to Pandora to ride Flight of Passage (sad I missed it, they said best ride of the entire trip). Me, Charlie and Cam went off to meet Micky and Minnie, so yes equally as thrilling ;) 

Even though Charlie had met them on our Disney Cruise two years ago, he was SO SO excited and it was still so very magical. Nothing like it.

we finished up with A Bug's Life and then dinner at Rainforest Cafe which is just outside of Animal Kingdom park...a large souvenir drink was necessary after that busy day, yes! HA

So fun having our "Auntie Cam" there with us that day. Next up, we all venture over to finish up the trip with our last day at Hollywood Studios!
