The Final Countdown - 7 Days!


One week. Seven days. I cannot contain my excitement! I started this day feeling slightly ill and had a moment of panic when I thought to myself "no, not before the trip!" But I've been throwing back 100+ ounces of water each day for the past week and I hope I can flush whatever bug might be trying to attack me. 

But enough of the sick talk - let's get down to business! *queue Mulan music*

Seven days left on the countdown, day four of the trip - 

Monday September 19
  • 8am - Wake Up!
  • 8:30am - take monorail to Epcot (with transfer)
  • 9:00am - Epcot opens
  • 9:10am - Mission Space Fastpass, Test Track
  • 10:15am - Soarin' Fastpass
  • 11:00am - Head to Chase Visa Lounge in World Showcase to ask for IllumiNations wristbands
  • 11:20am - Journey into Imagination Fastpass (may skip if we don't have time for it)
  • 11:30am - Lunch at Via Napoli, Italy
  • 1:15pm - Voices of Liberty, American Adventure, Germany, China, Norway (snag Fastpass for Frozen Ever After, if available), Mexico
  • 4:45pm - Dinner at Le Cellier, Canada, UK, France, Morocco
  • 6:15pm - Matsuriza Drummers, Japan
  • 9:00pm - IllumiNations

Most of the evening will be spent snagging Fastpasses where available and going on any rides with a low wait. I will also be spending time enjoying food and drinks around World Showcase! I'm especially excited for these items:

  • Welsh Dragon UK pavilion (Rose & Crown pub)
  • Moroccarita, which is vodka, lemon, lime juice and triple sec (Spice Road table bar - Morocco)
  • Schofferhofer Grapefruit beer Germany pavilion at Bier or Trinken cart
  • Canto Loopy China pavilion the Joy of Tea
  • School Bread (Norway)
  • Chocolate Covered Sea Salt Caramel (Germany)
  • Tiramisu (Italy)
  • Kaki-Gori (Japan)
  • Cronut (Refreshment Port)

While Food & Wine Festival will be happening on this date, we plan to utilize another full day at Epcot specifically for enjoying the events and food/drink items that it offers. 

One more sleep and then it'll be just SIX days away!
