Day 6: Free Day Exploring Walt Disney World

 

    Today was our free day during the Disney World part of our trip, giving us the chance to fit in whatever we wanted before boarding our cruise ship. After several busy days, we were all able to sleep in a little bit and enjoy some much needed rest. It was very nice to slow down and fully enjoy some more fun moments before our next big adventure begins.


Tower of Terror


    Graycie, Andrew, Ian, Brayden, and I started our day going over to Hollywood Studios. After looking at the wait times, our first ride we decided to go on was The Tower of Terror. This was my first time experiencing the ride and it definitely lived up to its name! The anticipation and sudden drops made it very terrifying, but it was also exciting and I am glad I was able to try it out. After that ride, Ian headed over to the Star Wars area in Hollywood Studios to spend some time there, while us four made our way over to Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster to keep our adrenaline going. This is now my favorite ride and this time we were able to sit in the front row! We decided to head over to a different park to try to experience everything we could fit in for the last day of our trip. After finishing up at Hollywood Studios, we took the Skyliner over to Epcot to get some more rides in.



Skyliner to Epcot



    Drew started his day by heading to Disney Springs, where he had lunch at Splitsville and ordered a very delicious looking pizza. After spending some time walking around Disney Springs, he even picked up some honey sticks to enjoy. Meanwhile, me, Graycie, Andrew, and Brayden explored the Moana walkthrough water experience at Epcot. We wanted to cool off before riding anything else. It was very interactive, with flowing water, beautiful plants, and colorful flowers throughout. One of the highlights olf this was seeing a unique statue of Moana, which we stopped to take pictures with. Afterward, we headed over to ride Soarin’, which took us flying over different countries and landscapes around the world. It was an amazing way to experience global scenery.

    Later in the evening, the four of us took a bus to Disney Springs to meet back up with Ian. While we explored the shops, Drew had a dinner reservation at The Edison. The rest of us ended up heading back to Splitsville for dinner. We wrapped up our last day at Disney by watching the Hoosiers go duck hunting, ending the day on a very exciting note. Tomorrow, our journey continues as we head to Tampa to board our cruise ship, We are all so excited to begin our adventures in the Caribbean!
