January 2024 Trip Recap and VIP Tour at Walt Disney World
Our recent family vacation to Walt Disney World with my best friend's family was absolutely fantastic! We spent our time exploring three parks throughout our trip using the convenient Park Hopper ticket, which allowed us to move freely between parks at our leisure. We also indulged in a VIP tour, which was an incredible experience and gave us an exclusive look behind the scenes of the park.
In addition to visiting the parks, we also spent two fun-filled days at the water parks and played mini-golf, which was a delightful experience. However, the most memorable part of our trip was undoubtedly the makeovers we arranged for our girls at Bounding Beauty and the boys at Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boutique . The makeovers were a unique and magical experience that we will cherish forever.
As we reflect on our trip, we realize there were some activities that we would repeat and others that we would do differently on our next visit. One activity we recommend is watching the new fireworks show at Epcot called Luminous. It was mind-blowing and left us all in awe. Overall, this was an unforgettable trip that we will never forget.
