In today’s video, we spend the day at Disney’s Magic Kingdom! We spend some time admiring the fall decorations before traversing over to our favorite cart next to Adventureland: The Spring Roll Cart! We decide to have both the Cheeseburger and Buffalo Chicken spring rolls, and they are both so delicious. We highly recommend a stop here if you’ve never tried them before. After lunch, we decide to take a voyage down the river on Jungle Cruise, and we get to admire all of the new scenes (and jokes) that have been recently added to this attraction. After a brief coffee break, it’s time for the Wildest Ride in the Wilderness at Big Thunder Mountain, but not before we see some drama unfold at Splash Mountain. Then, it’s back to Adventureland to check in with some of our favorite pirates on Pirates of the Caribbean. It was a super short wait, and we had fun finding Jack Sparrow throughout the attraction. Since we’re already in Adventureland, why not take a break from the heat with our favorite singing birds at Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room! This is one of our favorite attractions, and you need to see this show if you’ve never tried it before! We end this video with a Dole Whip and a trek over to Tomorrowland! We hope you enjoyed this video. We look forward to bringing you the second half of our Magic Kingdom day very soon. Thanks so much for watching and as always, keep on wishing!

In today’s video, we travel back to Walt Disney World! We are up early to catch our flight from Newark Liberty International Airport to Orlando International Airport. Our trip through security is very quick and easy, but our flight was a little rough and filled with turbulence! After arriving safely, it’s off to baggage claim to collect our bags and board the Magical Express. The line for the bus was extremely short compared to our last trip, and we quickly boarded the bus. Soon we are on our way to Caribbean Beach, our Resort for this trip. After a quick outfit change and luggage drop off, we hop on another bus! We quickly notice that the buses are back to pre-pandemic times with no barriers or seat numbers. After 9 hours of travel, we finally arrive at Magic Kingdom!We hope you enjoyed following us along on our travel adventure, and we look forward to bringing you along with us to Epcot in our next video. Thanks so much for watching and as always, keep on wishing!

Can We Tell You How To Get to Sesame Place?

Posted on August 6, 2021 by MouseEarsandWishes Sesame Place Travel

In today’s vlog, we travel to Sesame Place of Philadelphia! It was Jenn’s first time back since she was a kid, and it was Stefan’s first visit ever! We meet up with our friends and their two kids to explore the park. Our first stop is to visit the Welcome Center to get the disabilities pass for our two kiddos. Then we head over to the Sunny Day Carousel as our first attraction. After lunch, we fly over the park on Elmo’s Cloud Chaser Swings. We boogie with our favorite Monsters at the Monster Mix Up “tea cup” attraction, and sail the open “C’s” in Captain Cookie’s High C’s Adventure. Then, our little daredevil wanted to fly high in the sky with Stefan on the Flying Cookie Jars (a flying, spinning attraction). Lastly, we took a flight into space with Oscar’s Rotten Rusty Rockets. We hope you enjoyed this video! Stay tuned for our review and thoughts about Sesame Place as Disney regulars in our next video. Thanks so much for watching, and as always, keep on wishing!

*Disclaimer: This video was filmed after the CDC declared it was safe for vaccinated individuals to stop wearing masks, and therefore, did not wear masks in this video. We were also not required to make park reservations at this time. Guidelines are constantly changing, so make sure to check the Sesame Place website (linked here) for the most up to date information regarding current theme park guidelines.

Epcot Day Part 1: Living with the Land, Seas with Nemo, and more!

Posted on July 2, 2021 by MouseEarsandWishes Disney EPCOT Living with the Land Seas with Nemo and Friends Travel

In today’s vlog we are back at Epcot! To escape some of the heat, we take a break inside the Disney & Pixar Short Film Festival. On our walk to the Land, we spot an old friend getting ready for an exciting afternoon of butterfly catching! Once at the land, we finally get to ride one of our favorite attractions, Living with the Land, and it’s as wonderful as we remember. On the way out of the Land we stop for a viewing of Awesome Planet, which was…awesome! Then it is time to go under the sea with Nemo and his pals! This ride is so much fun and it was great to see it working to its full potential. We end part one of this video with a brief check-in on some of our favorite marine friends inside the Seas Exhibit and a quick peek of the beautiful topiaries around Epcot. We hope you enjoyed coming with us on the first part of our Epcot day, and we can’t wait to bring you along in part 2! Thanks so much for watching, and as always, keep on wishing!

*Disclaimer: This footage was filmed before Disney lifted its restrictions in regards to masking. We were allowed to take our masks off outside, but were required to wear them in line and on attractions. Stefan and I are both fully vaccinated and felt comfortable removing our masks when the crowds were light and we were able to physically distance ourselves from other groups.

We start the second of our two news-heavy episodes with offering our support to those who are and have been suffering under the racial tension occurring within the nation. We then give our usual updates on Disney + viewing, bouncing between a Documentary, a classic cartoon, and the “next, next, next gen” of High School Musical-style film. Our news for the week dives into the exclusive Passholder experience during Universal Studio Orlando’s opening dates. Following this, Disney Parks divulges some more of the changes expected to come as they plan their re-opening, while making a major announcement regarding (among other things) temporary removal of the FastPass system.
