May the Force Be With Us: A Family Trip Report Summer 2021

This reminds me of the Disney+ show Magic of Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Gives you a real appreciation for what it takes to keep the animals happy, healthy and ready to perform on the Disney stage.

DD4 after the ride: “I loved it! I want to ride it again!”

Me: What was your favorite part?

DD4: The part where all the stuff was upside down.

Goodnight from Epcot! We’re pooped. It was a fun day. We broke it into two sections with rope drop to 2pm at HS, then a break, then Epcot from 5:30-9pm. Very relaxed pace tonight and mostly indoors or in cool night air. It feels amazing out here tonight with a breeze blowing.

The kids want to ride SDD again tomorrow so we may have to RD again. :upside_down_face: Also hoping for one last BG. But we have much less on the docket with a similar park pattern. Hoping for a longer afternoon break.

Have a green thumb, eh?

I also would love to do the tour, and even work there when I retire!

I wish I had a green thumb, but it just makes me appreciate it even more.

My one must-do thing on our August trip is Epcot at night! Love these pics!

We love Nemo, but I always have to look at my shoes when we get to the EAC. All the bubbles swishing by my peripheral punches the big green nausea button for me.:laughing:

My favorite ride, but boyfriend and BFFs make so much of me. Have done Behind the Seeds twice and simply love it.

I giggle every single time like I’m 5 years old again whenever I’m on Mater. Well, it starts as a giggle and ends up full on belly laughing.

I actually had a very nice lady tell me I was more fun to watch ride that than her grandkids. But I promised not to tell her grandkids.

Saucer’s just made “the list”.

Three for three. :sweat_smile:

This time it was me who actually scored the BG. It helped to push “Join” a few minutes before to cache your party’s data. I think that is in @bebe80’s instructions but I have always been too nervous before to remember that step. :joy:

Made it to HS taps at about 8:10. Opened at 8:13 but we are a bit further back today than yesterday. We left like 2-3 minutes later so makes sense. Trying not to stress too much about it since we just want to ride a few rides this morning.

I always do that naturally just to make sure everything is flowing right. But I actually don’t have in the instructions.

Others have recommended. Who knows if it does actually help?? I guess you do!

Ohhhh so THAT’S the one I foresaw. Ok, I get it now. I was just early. Cool. :crazy_face:

Lol I totally forgot about that! Well I’m happy to oblige. :joy:

We got in line for SDD and were closer to the entrance this time. But they held the rider swap checkin for a few minutes, presumably to make it so there weren’t as many return riders coming in early on. But now we’re making good progress in the regular line.
