2020 Trip: New and new to us Disney trip experiences


We aren't exactly sure how many Disney trips we have each taken in total.  Together, Adam and I have been 6 times since we were married in January 2011.  (Twice with kids, 4 times without them).
One of the nice things about having visited so many times, and being relatively certain that we will again, is that we no longer feel any sort of pressure to "do everything".  We don't even feel bad now about missing out on an iconic classic ride here and there.

On this most recent trip, we add a number of "firsts" to our collective Disney experiences and had a great time doing it!

First time eating at these restaurants:

Art Smith's Homecomin'
Topolino's Terrace
Storybook Dining at Artist's Point (we've been there before, but not since it was reimagined)
Sampling of food booths at the Epcot Flower & Garden Festival

First time rides/shows:

The teacups at Magic Kingdom
Epcot Experience pavilion
Finding Nemo stage show at Animal Kingdom
Millenium Falcon: Smuggler's Run at Hollywood Studios
Skyliner transportation system

Other Disney/non-Disney specific firsts:

Using our Priority Pass membership for lounge access in Boston and Orlando
Including the 30 minute grocery stop with our Quicksilver airport transfers in Orlando
Booking our room with DVC rental points
Purchasing park ticket through Parksavers.com
Bypassing check in and going straight to our room thanks to online check-in
Using LYFT on property to travel between hotels for dinners more efficiently and comfortably
Watching Magic Kingdom fireworks 5 out of 6 nights from our park facing room

Walt Disney said that EPCOT "...will always be in a state of becoming."  I think it is safe to say that is true for all of Walt Disney World and the experience of any repeat visitor.
