Florida 2022 - Part 14

Magic Kingdom

Friday - April 15th 2022

Magic Kingdom is our least favourite park at Walt Disney World, but we still spent a second day there. We made use of the Extra Magic Time and started our day with Carousel of Progress, a must do for us. Then we got a coffee at Starbucks and waited for our Lightning Lane reservation for Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. Since we hadn't had a proper breakfast yeat, except for coffee, we decided to try the cinnamon buns from Gaston's Tavern. To be honest, I didn't like them, they just tasted rather bland. The rest of the morning we used to stroll through the park and check out the shops.

Later we stopped for an early lunch at Casey's corner. There we both got the plant based hot dog with fries. All I can say that they were really delicious. Of course we had to get dessert as well and so we stopped for a Dole whip in Adventureland. To our surprise the waiting time for Pirates of the Caribbean was rather short and so we got in line. Afterwards we used our Lightning Lane ticket for Big Thunder Mountain before heading back to Starbucks to get an iced coffee.

Since it got pretty crowded and the weather was so hot, we left Magic Kingdom to spend the afternoon at the pool. Unfortunately it took forever a bus to arrive to take us back to the hotel That's why I'm just not a big fan of Walt Disney World. The transportations system is just not reliable and usually we prefer to walk, but that's not possible at Disney World. Back at Pop Century Resort we got a beer at Petals, the hotel's pool bar, and then we got ready for an evening at Disney Springs. There we tried the vegan hot dog at B.B. Wolfe's, which was delicious, and additionally we also got the vegan meatball sub at Earl of Sandwich. After dinner we got a couple of beers and enjoyed our time exploring the shops and buying souvenirs.

Epcot
 
Saturday - April 16th 2022
 
Unfortunately today was already our last day at Walt Disney World and we spent it at Epcot. We got up early to catch the extra magic time for hotel guests. Once we were inside the park, we headed straight to Frozen Ever After before getting the School Bread at Kringla Bakery in the Norway Pavilion. Next was a stop at Starbucks for our morning coffee and then we got in line for Test Track, a fast paced test ride for concept cars. After Spaceship Earth and The Seas with Nemo & Friends we took a break at the Rode & Crown Pub in the United Kingdom Pavilion. There we enjoyed two refreshing beers before doing the Canada Far & Wide movie in the Canada Pavilion.

Since it was already noon, we got hungry and decided to get the Korean Impossible Ribs again. Additionally we also ordered the potatoe leak soup and a vegan cake. Afterwards we left the park and returned to the hotel to relax at the pool and to start packing for our journe back home. In the evening we took the Skyliner back to Epcot, where we just strolled through World Showcase. We enjoyed our last hours with a couple of beers in the UK and Canada Pavilions and a Grand Marnier Slushie in France. For dinner we stopped at Reagle Eagle for the vegan BBQ Jackfruit Burger before saying goodbye to the Disney Parks.

After breakfast we got our belongings and waited for our Uber taxi that took us to the airport. Check-In took some time due to the huge crowds, but once we passed the security check point we got a coffee at Starbucks and waited for our flight to Atlanta to depart. Our flight was on time and soon we arrived at Atlanta Airport. There we got something to eat at a Mexican fast food restaurant and a glass of beer at a nearby bar. Finally it was time to leave the US and we boarded our plane to Munich. Back in Munich we collected our luggage and drove back to Salzburg.
