Disney November 2023

Another Disney trip is in the books! We went Monday through Saturday for a little holiday spirit! Even though it was November, it was VERY hot and most days hit 90+ degrees which was a little much to take. Also, some days the crowds were fine and others it was insane. We can navigate just fine but we definitely went slower with the heat! 

At the airport - all ready for some fun!



We quickly stopped at the resort to drop off luggage before heading off to Disney Springs for shopping, amazing food, and drinks!



Chris waited for 3 hours for these cookies (don't worry - he didn't have to stand in line that much - it was virtual) So good!



We ended the night relaxing at the resort and we all must have been in good moods as we got a free bottle of wine and some drinks from cast members!



Day 2 was off to EPCOT! We jumped on the Skyliner and made our way everywhere. We clocked over 27,000 steps on this day and it was fun. 



It was hot and it was a lot of walking, especially for Lucy! She slammed a steak and just was hilariously tired. She couldn't even get her hat in straight. ha. 



I also was able to snag the hardest reservation to get - Space 220... It is a super-themed restaurant and we had a great time. 



We ended the day with a walk through the new Moana attraction where you get to interact with water - it was fun and beautiful. 

Day 3 was off to Hollywood Studios... lots of Star Wars, a new Toy Story restaurant that was delicious, and more heat and walking!


Pro tip - get a late Olga Cantina's reservation and you can leave after everyone else!


Day 4 - we were all moving slowly this day. We went back to Epcot to do a few of our favorite things - We ended with our favorite meal at the Japan pavilion. I do have to say, Epcot won this day and we were in bed by 8!


Day 5 - To Magic Kingdom! We were able to ride all that we wanted and see all the Christmas things too. In the afternoon we headed on the monorail for a break at the Poly and for a wonderful dinner at Ohana.



This was the hottest day yet!

Heidi tried to take naps whenever she could. 


Last day! We ended at Hollywood Studios and took a slow good day. We rode everything, had some great meals and were ready to jump on a plane home! 

We really did have a great time. I think future trips we will take it even slower, especially if there is that heat again! We basically did 20,000 steps every day  - which is a lot! Here are some random ride photos and photos from Chris' phone!
