The “We aren’t going to Florida again for a long time!” Trip - Epcot

Today we had an alarm set for 0650 for Guardians VQ where Rob managed to get group 32.


We were awake properly at about 0830, and did some laundry while having breakfast and getting ready.

We arrived at Epcot at about 11 having walked to the monorail from our room. 


We walked into Guardians line at 1115. Our group had already ‘expired’ but we had no problem tapping in late.



This actually took a little while but we were off by 12, our song was September which was appropriate given our trip timing.

Next we decided to do Test Track via single rider - which took maybe 5 mins. We decided to change our dinner reservation from Teppan Edo to Les Chefs de France.

We went and got lunch at Connections where I had the kids chicken tenders and Rob had a burger.



We headed over to Nemo (which claimed a 20 min line…it wasn’t) and a walk around the Seas.


Then Living with the Land - which might have been a whole 5 mins, even though it claimed a 20 min wait again!


We went back to our room via monorail, where we ate the remaining cake from The Boathouse.



We went back to Epcot at about 1630 riding Spaceship Earth then Soarin’ before a quick stop at DVC lounge before it closed.


On our way around the World Showcase we had to ride the 3 caballeros and then walked around to France, for dinner at Les chefs de France. 

We had bread to start and then both had beef but different options.


I had the Boeuf Bourguignon, linguine - Braised beef in Cabernet, baby onions, carrots, pasta. 


Rob had Filet de boeuf grillé, sauce poivre, gratin Dauphinois, haricots verts* - Grilled tenderloin of beef with green peppercorn sauce, potato gratin, green beans.


For dessert Rob had a chocolate tarte and I had a profiterole swan 



After dinner we got in line for Ratatouille which claimed it would take 60 mins. We entered the line at 2008 and exited at 2043.


This meant we were able to watch watch Epcot Forever at the entrance to World Showcase before monorailing back.




We got back to our room in time to watch the Halloween fireworks from our patio 😁
