Halloween 2018 at Walt Disney World - Day 2 (Part 2)

The magic continues! As I was finishing up the Keys to the Kingdom tour, I began hearing from Erica that she had landed and was on her way to Pop Century.

I had planned a couple of fast passes for Hollywood Studios but was on the fence about using them. My quest for the cutting board continued, so entering Epcot that day became more of a priority. I got back to my car (left the Magic Kingdom) and drove over to Hollywood Studios. From there, I took a Friendship Boat (for the first time ever) from DHS to Epcot!



The boat goes from the entrance area of DHS and stops at Swan & Dolphin and the Boardwalk area resorts before arriving at the International Gateway entrance of Epcot (back by France). So I hopped off the boat and walked into the park. I made a quick stop at Artisans des Glaces for a chocolate ice cream cone, took a picture, and got back on the boat bound for DHS.

Had I known there was a rat in my hand when this picture was taken I may not have had such a big smile on my face! 

Once back in DHS, I was heading straight for Toy Story Land! Can you believe I hadn't seen it with my own eyes since it opened back during the summer????

Toy Story Land is one of my favorite themed lands of all the Disney Parks I've been to!

I didn't have plans to ride Slinky Dog that day; I had a fast pass for Toy Story Midway Mania (so fun!). I rode Midway Mania and got a score of 151,000 which is pretty good for me. There are these fun walls in the new exit for Midway Mania. On one side is the "popsicle wall" and the other side is a wall that is a checkerboard.

See you at the popsicle wall! The details in TSL are unreal. The streetlights are straws! There are toys everywhere! It's really awesome.


After that, I had a fast pass for Tower of Terror (one of my all time favorites) so I went on over to check in to the Hollywood Tower Hotel! 

Middle row all the way on the right!

While I obviously could have stayed all day, it was time to go meet up with my pal, Erica, at our hotel! I departed DHS and made my way back over to Pop Century to meet up with Erica. Turns out she had made me a birthday present for the trip!



After relaxing for a while, Erica and I decided to head over to the Polynesian Resort for dinner at Kona Cafe!

So beautiful! I love visiting this resort!

I had the Asian Stir Fry - they also brought us rolls with really tasty sweet butter :-)

After dinner, we headed back to Pop Century and called it a night. I was sleep deprived from the past two nights and was looking forward to getting a fuller night of sleep before our next day's adventure!
