World of Mouse - Day 1- Hollywood Studios and Hoop-De-Do Review

-

First things first!
Chip and Dale!!!


We spent Day 1 at Hollywood Studios.  We got there as soon as the gates opened and headed to Toy Story with 348,239 other people! 

We spent some time just wandering thru the area - taking it all in and trying not to get run over.  We had a FastPass for the Alien Saucers and for Rockin' Rollercoaster.  We'll be back Friday to ride Slinky Dog with a FastPass since the line at opening was already an hour.  (sigh)
To infinity and beyond!!!




The theming is AMAZING!







Rockin' Rollercoaster.  I was assured that I would do just fine on it....so I got a FastPass and we headed over there after doing all things Toy Story that we could do. 

No one bothered to tell me that Rockin' Rollercoaster takes you upside down!  

 Twice!  

 I kept my eyes closed 99.75% of the ride...as evidenced here.


Seriously?  Could my eyes be shut any more tightly?


If I'd noticed the upside down Caddy BEFORE 
going to the ride, I might not have gone on it.

We did NOT go on the Tower of Terror.  Really no need to even ask.

Pizza (meh) and beer ( yay!) for lunch, lots of walking and people watching.  There was a Starbucks so a green tea was in order after a very hot, humid morning of dodging strollers.  

 A few melt downs were witnessed - kids and adults.  Fortunately, it wasn’t one of us. 










We didn't hang around Hollywood Studio all day but headed back to the hotel early afternoon so we could psyche ourselves up for mastering the transportation to Hoop-De-Doo Review at Fort Wilderness! 

 We were early so we walked around a bit of the RV area.  We were told that the RVers really decorate for Halloween but we were too early in the season for that. 

We walked back to the beach, watched the sun set and enjoyed the quiet and solitude that is hard to find in the land of the mouse.

The food was really good and the show was so corny that it was great!  So much fun and energy in that cast. 


Really fun evening but very late so opted to catch an Uber back to the hotel.

World of the Mouse - Day 3 - EPCOT

-

EPCOT Food and Wine Festival was great!  Fun photo ops everywhere though not too many of the photographers out today....maybe too hot or just not as many families in this area of EPCOT. We walked out of the hotel about 15 minutes before the park opened and still had to wait a few minutes until the gates opened.  Besides being such a beautiful property, Beach Club is a great location for today's plans. We made a semi-mad dash to the other side of the park so we could ride Frozen before the line was crazy.  We just walked right on then rode it again with a big 5 minute wait.   So many different booths and great food to try.  We had scoped out the offerings on the night we arrived so we'd made our plan of action for our big festival day.  We opted to divide and conquer:  sharing the tastes along the way then going back for seconds as needed.  I should have kept a log of the food but I'm sure YouTubers will do justice to the e...

Escapade!

We've wanted to go an Escapade since we joined the Escapees a few years ago.  This is an annual RV rally with many classes, lots of social events and opportunities to meet RVers from all walks of life.  Between Mike's work schedule, Escapade locations and dates, we just haven't been able to go.  When Mike confirmed his retirement date, the first things onto the calendar were Disney World and Escapade! Sedalia MO - Missouri State Fairgrounds and Campgrounds We had a terrific time and learned so much...so...so much!   We've both mastered many things in our lives but we've barely touched the tip of the iceberg when it comes to RVing. Before the actual Escapade begins, there are two detailed classes that people can come early for.  One is the crazy-packed BootCamp - perfect for beginning RVers.  We went down the Livingston TX (Escapee Headquarters) to do BootCamp a few years ago.  It was a great class and we highly recommend it. The other clas...
