11:00 AM

Holiday Traffic 👎

Leaving the Sunday after Thanksgiving was painful, it took us over 5 hours to get to Disney.

6:30 PM

🍽 dinner

Yachtsman Steakhouse

Not as good as we remembered. Rachel had the Sea Bass, I had the Filet, Karsten had....something. All of it was just a bit meh, we'll skip this one next time.

Re-creating a photo we took with Karsten when he was a baby.

Soarin'

Classic. Still makes Matt uncomfortable even after riding it many times.

9:00 AM

⚡ Attraction

Figment

The interactive area post-ride is probably more fun than the ride itself.

11:00 AM

⚡ Attraction

Test Track

Our first time riding the revamped test track - we liked the new theming! No more designing your car, though.

11:30 AM

⚡ Attraction

Mission: Space

Rachel and Karsten only on this one (Matt worried about getting sick). Play area after the ride was better than the ride itself.

12:00 PM

⚡ Attraction

Guardians of the Galaxy

An absolutely incredible coaster. We got "One way, or another" as our song on the first ride.

12:30 PM

🍽 lunch

Space 220

Great atmosphere, decent food. Karsten got a burger and fries. Matt got a beet salad and a flatbread (meh). Rachel got a beet salad and a tuna dish (meh).

Gran Fiesta Tour

A nice post-lunch float before we explored more of the world showcase.

2:30 PM

⚡ Attraction

Frozen Ever After

Jerky, not worth the hype unless you're very into Frozen.

3:30 PM

4:00 PM

⚡ Attraction

Remy's Ratatouille Adventure

Disappointing. You can see way too much of the mechanics of everything happening, and the overall experience does not feel very immersive.

6:30 PM

🍽 dinner

Via Napoli

Just not very good all around. Watery caesar salad, pizza that wasn't as good as V. Pass on this one next time.

A great first day

We barely touched the world showcase and still had a full day at Epcot. Even with the more adult focus and fewer rides, it's still worth an entire day.

Day 3

Magic Kingdom

Tron

Such a unique coaster experience. Super smooth but the ride is soooo short.

⚡ Attraction

Tomorrowland Speedway

Karsten steered, I held the pedal to the metal.

⚡ Attraction

Mad Tea Party

🥴

⚡ Attraction

Seven Dwarfs Mine Train

Fun, but I'm not sure it's worth the hype - definitely not worth a super long wait.

10:00 AM

⚡ Attraction

Dumbo

And this is when the rain started.

⚡ Attraction

Barnstormer

It was pouring rain at this point, and Karsten just kept riding this over and over because no one else wanted to get on.

Karsten riding Barnstormer over and over (by himself).

Space Mountain

Rode this once in the morning and once in the afternoon!

Haunted Mansion

Only ok, kinda cool visuals.

12:30 PM

Our second time dining here - a solid meal again!

Peter Pan

Didn't get stuck this time.

⚡ Attraction

Tiana's Bayou Adventure

We loved this ride, so long for a water ride!

3:30 PM

6:30 PM

🍽 dinner

Garden Grill

Wasn't as good as our last visit - got sat up top vs. along the edge where it's easier to see the rotating scenery.

7:00 PM

⚡ Attraction

Nemo

Killing time before a nighttime lightning lane for guardians - discovered the aquarium and other fun stuff in here!

7:30 PM

⚡ Attraction

Guardians of the Galaxy

Guardians Night Cap

Magic Kingdom was definitely better than the last time we visited, but I think Karsten is aging out of some of the rides and experiences there. It was great to finish off the day with a nighttime ride of Guardians.
