Ok now that’s out of the way, let’s get on to the trip!

After the Princess 10K, Jason and I had breakfast at Port Orleans Riverside, then returned to our resort to shower and change for a fun day with friends in Epcot and Downtown Disney!

I love EPCOT!

First on our agenda was lunch plans with Heather and Bobby at Via Napoli!

I’d never been here and was excited to try their pizza!

Those ovens are SO cool!

We all split an appetizer which was really good! Fried risotto something or another… :)

All four of us split the hugest pizza I’d ever seen in my life!

As the waiter was putting the pizza on our table, he accidentally hit my glass of water which caused water to spill directly into my lap. I was in blue jeans which became soaked. Also, it was cold in the restaurant (and outside as well)…not a good combo! The manager was really nice about it, but I think that’s because I was nice about it in return (even though I spent the entire meal sitting in soaking wet blue jeans).  I know that accidents happen but I still think he should have offered some way to make it up. Oh well…thankfully it was just water (thank goodness – it could have been way worse!) and I was mostly dry by the time the meal ended. If nothing else, it made for some good laughs! No harm done – I would love to eat here again!

After lunch, we rode Spaceship Earth together then said goodbye to Heather and Bobby. Jason and I stayed in the park and explored EPCOT a bit more. We set our fast passes for mid to late afternoon which worked out perfectly!

Around dinner time, we made our way to Downtown Disney. Our plans included dinner at Earl followed by dessert and Heather’s blogger meetup at Ghirardelli.

We found Heather and Bobby and got in a massive crazy line for Earl. Thankfully the line moved super fast and we had our dinner in no time!

My favorite is the All-American! YUM!

I always get the same thing at Ghirardelli, too – the caramel quake shake! SO good!

After a long day, we said goodbye to Downtown Disney and our friends. We had the Princess Half Marathon the following morning and needed our beauty rest! :)

On Sunday morning after the Princess Half, we visited the Magic Kingdom once again!

Our fast pass plans included the Mine Train, Buzz, and Big Thunder Mountain.

I just love the sights and sounds of the parks! :)

We also went for a spin on the TTA!

No Disney trip is complete without a Dole Whip!

Our dinner plans for the evening were at Boma. It had been about six years since our last Boma trip, so I was excited to try it again!

The food was really good! I enjoy trying and tasting foods from other cultures, so this was a fun restaurant with a nice mix of a variety of choices!

Our dinner plans were with our friends Randy and Melissa and Melissa’s sister/brother-in-law.

We had a great meal! Randy even voluntarily wore his Princess medal to dinner! I’m so proud of him!

After dinner, Jason and I returned to the Magic Kingdom to close down the park. Our last item of  the evening was a final ride on the Mine Train. We got in line minutes before the park officially closed.

I do love an empty park! :)

Do you like to try foods from other cultures? When on vacation, do you like to try new restaurants or stick with something you’re familiar with?
