Favorite park and why
Hadley:
Magic Kingdom because the rides were the biggest and best and the most
Emily:
I would say my favorite park was EPCOT although I think we all agreed that it was only fun because we had an Auntie that bought us all the good snacks and knew all the best spots. I also loved Animal Kingdom, I think it’s kind of a sleeper hit and I can imagine if you're not an animal person you could probably take it or leave it. I genuinely couldn’t believe they had real animals though. So cool! I think I like both of those because they are the least like Disneyland which I went to many times growing up. They felt like entirely new theme park experiences.
Alyse:
If I had to pick a favorite park it would probably be Epcot because it surprised me the most and there was so much different stuff to see which was awesome.
Callie:
My favorite park was definitely Hollywood studios because I loved all the rides there because they were exciting and at the end of the day it cooled down and was super nice and pretty sunset
Elynn:
I can't decide between Epcot or Hollywood Studios I like Epcot because of all the things to see. I liked Hollywood for the ride and how pretty it was during sunset.
Addisen:
Animal Kingdom- Felt the most balanced with big and small rides. I felt like we could get everything done and it wasn't as busy. More shaded and didn't feel rushed.
Leilani:
My favorite park is Epcot because of the food and the immersive experience with all of the cultural aspects! I love that they have things from the specific countries and how they sell things from the actual places and not just all Disney themed things! Animal kingdom is a close second for me though!
Favorite Attraction
Hadley:
Tron because it was really fast and fun
Emily:
Well, one of my favorite rides at Disneyland is Rise of the Resistance but it is essentially the same at Disney World so I’m going to say Avatar Flight of Passage. There really is nothing quite like it, and it’s incredibly immersive. I would recommend it to literally everyone I know. Even if you don’t like the Avatar movies that almost doesn’t matter, it’s just a cool ride.
Elynn:
Tower of terror
Addisen:
Guardians of the Galaxy, gotta love the 80s music
Leilani:
My favorite ride is flight of passage because it really feels like you're flying and the views it takes you on are so magical and I wish I could actually go there! I love the details of the breathing of the banshee, the water droplets when you go over the water, and the scents of flowers, grass, and water! It feels like you're really there!
Favorite food
Hadley:
Chinese potstickers and egg rolls with soy sauce
Emily:
I’m a Dole Whip girly. It’s hands down the best thing at both Disney parks and I HAVE to get one any time I go. Other than that I think I liked the gyoza and egg rolls we go (don’t remember where but I’m sure Torie knows). I watch those things pretty regularly in my day to day life but there is something about being exhausted and sweaty sitting on the floor eating them that made it magical.
Alyse:
Best food were the potstickers in China or the chocolate crepe in France.
Callie:
The best food was the food from the Sci-Fi restaurant and I got a American burger and fries and fried pickles
Elynn:
The Dole Whip swirl float or the purple moose cake at Animal Kingdom
Addisen:
Hazelnut crepes in France. I will be dreaming about that forever.
Leilani:
This is a hard one because I am a foodie just like my mama, but the ratatouille galette was so good and the Texas toast brisket sandwich and the Mac and cheese at the Regal Eagle was unexpectedly amazing! The lemon sorbet from Italy was extra refreshing in the extreme heat though for sure.
What surprised you most
Hadley:
How decorated everything was and that everything was perfectly made to match a theme
