Wedding Planning & Visiting Pandora
This seems to happen quite often where my posts become inconsistent for a little bit - super sorry about that! I started a new job at the end of May so much of my time and energy have been eaten up by gaining my sea legs (or land legs if you want to stick to the Disney universe 😛)
I have been wanting to recap our June trip for sometime so here it goes!
We've had this trip planned since January and it was centered around our wedding planning session. I seem to have really good timing planning our trips to WDW (the last two were during Flower & Garden Festival and Food & Wine) as this trip was shortly after Pandora opened. As a present to the Fiancé (and myself) I bought us Annual Passes as soon as I knew we'd be taking at least two trips over the next year.
DAY 1: ANIMAL KINGDOM + VISITING PANDORA
We always take the same flight from JFK to MCO so we don't have to wake up at the crack of dawn to leave but still get to Disney with enough time to enjoy the parks. We stayed at Port Orleans this trip as we love seeing the different resorts and staying at ones we haven't before if we can. We quickly hopped on over to Animal Kingdom after we dropped off our bags and got changed.
As you'll see, I've now roped The Fiancé into Disneybounding. If I learned anything from this trip it's that I will wear skirts whenever possible on future trips. I had on athletic shorts on under my skirts as to prevent any... inappropriate exposure, but otherwise, despite how hot it was, I was more comfortable than our other trips!
We noticed we were both more relaxed during this trip, time-wise and whatnot. Outside of FastPasses and 1 dining reservation the entire trip, there wasn't this constant feeling of "go go go!" and having to do everything and see everything, which was nice.
Our favorite part of this trip had to have been traveling to Pandora! The Disney team really did a beautiful job putting together this new area and you really do feel as if you're transported to a different place. And The Fiancé has officially found his new ride - Flight of Passage. My fear of heights took over a little, despite knowing that a Banshee is not actually flying us off the side of a cliff... Below are some shots of Pandora - believe me, the pictures don't do the beauty of it justice:
