Walt Disney World Annual Passholder

Hi, lovely readers

This native California Girl, that has only lived in California until four months ago, is a Disney Passholder for the very first time...in Florida. 

When I was younger & single I would go all the time. The discounts were very generous for Southern California residents. Once California Adventure came into play, the prices got crazy, and I couldn't justify the price especially when I became we, a party of three. 

I'm older & single now,, plus I'm living with people  that have passes, so I broke down and bought one. Of course I also have a photo pass because, why not? 

It takes about two and a half hours to get there so not a quick day trip, but the parking is free & I have my MagicBand so we'll see... 

My first use was at Epcot for their International Flower & Garden Festival.  The park was gorgeous with all the floral displays and topiaries of several my favorite movies/ characters. Check out the recap.



It also coincided with their V.I.Passholder Days where we each picked up a free button and Stitch magnet. There was also an exclusive lounge inside the Moroccan Pavillion where I met Genie.

The festival ends at the end of the month so I'll try and make it back since we didn't see everything and I didn't complete my passport for a free treat.

I downloaded the app the day before so I didn’t know a whole lot, especially Magic Shots


They're too cute!
