Magic Kingdom!

 

The day actually started with much of the group going to Steakhouse 71 for breakfast. That menu didn't appeal to me, and I LOVE the Nutella waffles, so I went by myself to rope drop MK. It was nice- I walked onto about 6 rides, got my Nutella waffles, and then eventually met up with the group.




We rode Tron TWICE. This is the newest ride- it just opened about 3 weeks ago. It's a pretty fun ride! Not an absolute must do, but I would definitely do it again.



We got stuck on Big Thunder Mountain as it was going up the mountain! That was a first!


I finally tried the egg roll card that everyone raves about- and yes, they are delicious.


There were about a hundred of us on The Liberty Bell which was a lot of fun.



And, I rode the People Mover- another first- with the Podfather himself, Curt. He's the one that started all of...this. 

We did a fireworks dessert party. It was great- we had a special reserved spot for the fireworks to watch Happily Ever After. Then we went over to The Terrace Restaurant for dessert. The desserts were OK, not great, but really what we were paying for was the reserved spot to make for a stress free fireworks show. And being with great company.

Dapper Days At Epcot!

We started the day with a 5k at 5:30 AM. I was NOT a fan, but Torie organized it so I kind-of got roped into it. 

                                             


                                                    



It was Dapper Day at Epcot- meaning dressing up and looking dapper ala The Dapper Dans. It's an annual unofficial event started several years ago, but when we learned TDC was the same weekend as Dapper Days, we decided to dress up. Our theme for our group was Orange Crush.

We rope dropped Ratatouille, which was easy because we were staying at The Beach Club. I love the ride! It's so cute!

And Dapper Days was so fun! A ton of bloggers and TikTockers stopped us and recorded our group to post on their social media pages which was a ton of fun.







                                       










After getting some pictures with Pooh on the Grass, we went on Figment all together. Later at Biergarten the host said, "I was behind you in line at Figment, and it was so fun to see your joy and hear you singing a long with the song- that was so much fun, what a great group!"




We went to Club Cool and tried the Beverly- that was pretty gross. They have several sodas from around the world which were fun to try, even though the mostly didn't taste very good.




A group of us went to Biergarten for lunch. That was fun- not my favorite, and not something I need to do again ,but I'm glad we went and I got to try it out since I have heard a lot about it.







Then we got together for games:
