One of my favorite rides in Animal Kingdom is Expedition Everest!
Expedition Everest is a roller coaster where you are in the Himalayas and trying to escape the Yeti. There are times on this ride where you are in the dark, and going backwards. The ride is completely outside.
One of my favorite things about this ride is the queue. I love how the ride is themed and the decorations in the queue really make you feel immersed in the story that Expedition Everest is portraying.
I also like the part of the ride that is in the dark. You suddenly hear the Yeti and then are going backwards in absolute darkness.
I would recommend this ride for anyone who likes roller coasters. If you are not someone who enjoys roller coasters, then this ride is not for you.
While at Animal Kingdom, do not forget to ride Expedition Everest!
Have you ever wanted to design your very own car? Well, at Epcot you can!
Testtrack Presented by Chevrolet is a ride where you get to design a car and then take it for a test ride.
First, you go into this room where you get to decide what you want your car to look like and how fast you want the car to go.
My car.
Once you are done designing your car, it is time to test it! You will get into a vehicle and test your car. My favorite test is the speed test. During the speed test, the ride goes outside and has a lot of curves.
I would recommend someone who likes cars to do this ride because you get to create your dream car and then test it.
On this ride, you get to see animals that you would see on a safari. It is a lot of fun to look for the animals.
Make sure to take a lot of pictures!
You can also do this ride many times because each time is a completely different experience. You might see giraffes one time and see elephants the next time.
Everyone can do this ride and it is one of the most iconic rides in Disney World.
Topolino’s Terrace is located in Disney’s Riviera Resort. We went here for breakfast and today I will be telling you what it was like.
At Topolino’s Terrace you can take pictures with Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, and Daisy Duck. They are also in outfits that you will only find them wearing at Topolino’s Terrace!
We were first given a pastry basket. This basket had croissants, apple turnovers, and chocolate chip muffins. It also came with chocolate hazelnut, jam, and honey butter spreads.
I had the chocolate chip muffins and they were delicious. My favorite part about these muffins were the chocolate chips.
The Apple Turnover was pretty good. I am not a big fan of apple turnovers, but I enjoyed this one.
Now, lets move on to our meals!
I had the Sour Cream Waffles. You can choose to get either bacon, ham, sausage, or plant based sausage with the waffles. I had the ham. These waffles were really good, but my only problem was that there was too much cream on my waffles.
My dad had the Fruit Plate. The fruit plate has fresh fruit, yogurt, and seed granola. He thought it was delicous.
My brother had Mickey Waffle Dippers from the kids menu. This meal comes with two sides and he chose eggs and sausage as his sides. He thought that it was really cool how he could dip his waffles into the syrup.
He also had toast.
My mom had Two Eggs -Any Style. Her meal comes with a choice of bacon, ham, sausage, or plant based sausage. She chose sausage. She thought her food was good.
The coolest part about Topolino’s Terrace is the terrace.
Izzy: What was your favorite new ride in Disney World?
Al: Guardian of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind because I like the songs that it picks and it is super smooth and a great ride on its own. I like roller coasters and if you like roller coasters it’s a great ride to do.
Izzy: Is Epcot still your favorite Disney World park?
Al: Yes, because I like the World Showcase and eating all the different food they have and also they have some great rides like Guardians of the Galaxy, Test Track and Spaceship Earth.

Teppan Edo
Izzy: Which park do you like better, Magic Kingdom or Animal Kingdom?
Al: Definitely Magic Kingdom. There are more rides and it is more of the original park. It is really cool to see the animals up close in Animal Kingdom, but they don’t have as many rides that I like.
Izzy: What is the best ride in Animal Kingdom?
Al: Dinosaur but I really like the Kilimanjaro Safari too.
The Safari
Izzy: What is your favorite thing to watch on Disney+?

Izzy: When we went to Disney last year, we stayed at Boardwalk Villas, Bay Lake Tower, Saratoga Springs and The Riviera, which hotel was your favorite?
Al: Boardwalk Villas because you can walk to Epcot or Hollywood Studios and when you leave the hotel you are on the boardwalk and there are lots of dining options nearby.
The lobby of The Boardwalk

Al: The Mickey pretzel is still my favorite.
Izzy: Last April we went to Universal Studios, what was your favorite ride?
Al: Hagrids because it is a smooth roller coaster with no bumps in it and I like how it goes around and you see different animals in the Harry Potter world, but I also like Spiderman a lot.
The 2023 Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival will be here before you know it!
Photo belongs to the Walt Disney World Company.
Disney has announced the dates for the festival. The Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival will be from March 1-July 5, 2023.
You might be wondering right now, what is the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival? This festival is where you get to see some amazing gardening work that makes plants look like Disney characters.
I have gone to Disney World during this festival and it really is cool to see!
This will probably be one of the weirdest blog articles I have ever written, but have you noticed how many ducks there are just walking around in Disney World?
A duck hanging out in the Germany pavilion.
Today, we will be looking at the many pictures I have of ducks at Disney World.
On the Kilimanjaro Safari in Animal Kingdom, you are able to see tons of different animals from giraffes to elephants. I was not expecting to see ducks.
I was also surprised to see how the ducks were swimming around in the flamingos pond!
While waiting in line to go on the Jungle Cruise in Magic Kingdom, I saw a lot of ducks.
This duck wanted to be by itself.
Outside of Cinderella’s Castle, a bunch of ducks decided that they would be meeting up.
Finally, we have this duck who is in the Germany pavilion at Epcot.
I ate at La Hacienda de San Angel for the first time on my last trip to Disney World and I can not wait to review it for you!
The inside of the restaurant has a lot of sunlight.
My parents had Flautas. Flautas are tortillas that are filled with chicken, potatoes, cheese, and Ranchera Sauce. They thought their food was delicious.
I had the Queso Fundido. You can also get this dish at San Angel Inn. Queso Fundido is probably one of my favorite dishes in all of Disney World. It is melted cheese with chorizo (type of pork sausage), peppers, and onions.
It comes with flour tortillas, so you can make it into a tortilla!
My brother got the Chicken Tenders from the kids menu. He loved his food. It also came with green beans and apple slices.
Today we will be talking about my favorite restaurant in every Disney World park.
Let’s start in Magic Kingdom. My favorite restaurant is Be Our Guest. At this restaurant, you get to eat at Beauty and the Beasts castle.
I really love how you feel like you are actually in Beauty and the Beasts castle.
In Epcot, my favorite restaurant is La Hacienda de San Angel in the Mexico pavilion. I went to this restaurant for the first time on my last trip to Disney World. I have not reviewed it yet, but I will.
You might be wondering, why do I like this restaurant better than San Angel Inn? The reason is because while San Angel Inn is very dark and it’s hard to see your food, La Hacienda de San Angel has a lot of natural light from outside. My favorite dish from San Angel Inn, Queso Fundido, is also at La Hacienda de San Angel.
At Hollywood Studios, my favorite restaurant is Hollywood and Vine. Here you will be able to meet Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, and Pluto for lunch and dinner. Hollywood and Vine has five different themed dining experiences. These include Silver Screen Dining, Springtime Dine, Summertime Dine, Halloween Dine, and Minnie’s Holiday Dine.
I think Hollywood and Vine is a great way to meet the characters at Disney World.
Finally, we have Animal Kingdom. My favorite restaurant is Yak and Yeti. This restaurant has delicious food and I also love how much detail was put into the way Yak and Yeti looks.
My favorite types of restaurants at Disney World are the ones where you have to come back a couple of times because of how much detail was put into it.
Now you know my favorite restaurants at Disney World!
Today I thought it would be interesting to rank the mountain rides at Disney World. This is just my opinion, so it is completely ok if you do not agree with me.
What are the mountain rides at Disney World? The mountain rides include Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Splash Mountain, Space Mountain, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, and Expedition Everest.
5. In last place, we have Splash Mountain. My main problem with this ride is that you will most likely get VERY wet. I am not a fan of getting wet on a ride. The good news is that Splash Mountain is going to be re-themed to Princess and the Frog!
4. In fourth place we have Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. This ride always has a long line and the ride is so fast. It is only three minutes long. I would enjoy Seven Dwarfs Mine Train better if it was longer. Then, you will feel like it was worth waiting so long in line.
3. In third place, it’s Expedition Everest. This is the only roller coaster on the list that is in Animal Kingdom and not in Magic Kingdom. This ride makes you feel like you are in the mountains and I love all the drops and turns.
2. Next up, we have Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. I really like Big Thunder Mountain. I like how the ride is outside. If you are someone who does not like a lot of drops on a roller coaster, this might be the ride for you. Big Thunder Mountain does not have a lot of drops, but it does have a lot of turns.
My favorite mountain ride is Space Mountain. If you have been reading my blog for a while, you probably saw this coming. I like how this ride is completely in the dark, so you can not see the track in front of you.
