Our Disney Trip Through Instagram

Nov 15

Last week we returned from a vacation my favorite place- Walt Disney World! Even better, we again went during my favorite time at Disney, Epcot’s Food and Wine Festival. Hopefully I’ll do a full recap later, but here are a couple of snapshots of our trip, via Instagram.

After landing in Orlando and catching a ride to our resort, Disney’s Coronado Springs, on the Magical Express, we headed over to Epcot to sample a few Food and Wine booths. My favorite from the day was the Pork Slider from the Hawaii booth. And when the Cast Member serving saw my birthday button, he even added a hidden Mickey!

Hawaii’s Kahlua Pork Slider with Pineapple Chutney 

The next day, we had a behind the scenes tour booked in the Magic Kingdom, but we managed to hop on this before the tour started. Any guesses? It’s Buzz Lightyear’s Spaceranger Spin in Tomorrowland.

You can’t see the numbers…but I won (at least this time).

Another favorite from the trip was convincing my non-roller coaster or “big rides” riding Mom to go on this. It was awesome.

Tower of Terror…even more terrorizing at night!

Two of my favorite times from our trip actually happened on our last night. To begin the evening, we had dinner at Yachtsman Steakhouse, located in Disney’s Yacht Club Resort. Even though we had great meals at other Signature restaurants each night, I’ve got to say, I think this was the best meal on property, and the maybe the best dinner I’ve ever had. The service was excellent, and each course was better than the last, ending with this beautiful dessert. That would be a Lemon Pudding Cake served with a Blueberry Shake, Fruit Leather (homemade fruit roll-up), and Candied Lemon. Paired with press pot coffee, it was amazing! I’ll get around to writing a full review of this dinner as soon as I stop being too lazy to download pictures from my real camera!

The last Instagram shot I’ll leave you with is this one….

If you’ve visited Hollywood Studios in the last year or so, you’ll recognize this as the revamped Star Tours ride. We rode it twice with no wait at all thanks to Extra Magic Hours, and the last time Mom and I got to be on the 1st row!

Now, is it too soon to start planning another vacation?
