To Disney World and Back Again

It's been quite a week. We made a mad dash trip to Disney World last week and I just got home. I kept trying to tell you all about some of the fun things we had discovered on our trip, but the hotel's internet connection left a lot to be desired. We had a great time this trip. The crowds were generally lighter and we were able to experience some special Disney magic. Disney's Animal Kingdom had a special Bat Day on Halloween which was very informative and fun, and we managed to complete all of the Wilderness Explorer activities that day too. We went to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, which was a little slow to get going this year, but was great after 9pm. The food at EPCOT's Food and Wine Festival was amazing this year! I discovered several new things that I really enjoyed and very few that I didn't. (I especially liked the vegetarian haggis and the trick'n chick'n curry. They were surprisingly good.) I really only had a few complaints: the fast pass + system really messed up the fast pass distribution so the times were really wonky, and Anna and Elsa from Frozen failed to make their scheduled appearance. We were rather disappointed not to see them after waiting patiently for a whole week. Unfortunately, they were having some problems building their meet and greet location and it wasn't quite finished when they expected. Overall though, we had a lot of fun.
