Epic USA Birthday Adventure

My birthday is in April. For the first time in a number of years, I wanted to do something to celebrate my birthday. So the decision was made - I was going to spend my birthday at Walt Disney World.

From there, plans were made for an Epic Birthday Adventure....Four Australian girls taking on (select parts of) the USA. Come along as I recap our adventure!

Part 54 – Goodbye America, I’m going home!

This was it… it was the end of my Epic USA Birthday Adventure. Our bags were packed for the final time (gotta spread out the weight of all the souvenirs!) and time for the long journey back home.

For the final time our group split up. Charlotte and I had our flight from Orlando to Chicago delayed, which led to us hopping straight off that flight, rushing to the other side of the airport to get on our long haul flight to Auckland! By the time we made it to Auckland, we were already up to 19 hours flight time, and our body clocks totally out of whack… I had Teriyaki Chicken for breakfast at 9am. Oh well.

Soon enough, it was time to board our final flight and I was now ready for it to be over! 7 hours later, we arrived back in Perth ahead of schedule. It was a relief to be back on home soil. Caught up with my mum who picked me up from the airport, and shared loads of stories on the drive home.

Later, when I unpacked my suitcases, it may have been a bit of a shock just how many souvenirs I brought home with me… I swear I only purchased half of the stuffed toys! (the other half were my birthday presents). I also traded more Disney pins than I purchased.

All in all, it was an unforgettable adventure, and now I just want to visit all the Disney parks around the world!

And so ends my Epic USA Birthday Adventure..

Part 53 – Universal Studios Day 3, Part 2

I love my aesthetic photography. There was plenty of it to be had at Islands of Adventure! Once we had our fill of the parks, we made our way out for the final time.

But before we left Universal property, it was time for dinner… at Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen. Well… it lives up to the name! My dessert was Jacques’ specialty Confetti Milkshake, which came topped with a slice of cake!

Once we’d stuffed ourselves, it was time to say goodbye to Universal as we head back to the hotel for the final time.

Part 52 – Universal Studios Day 3, Part 1

As quick as it began, we were onto our final day at Universal, and the final full day of our holiday. It started off much the same as the previous day – taking the Hogwarts Express from Kings Cross (Universal Studios) to Hogsmeade (Islands of Adventure), where the other three girls rode Forbidden Journey again.

We then wandered around the parts of the park we hadn’t yet seen. In the Jurassic Park area, we found a couple more Squirrel friends, before continuing on our way around the park.

Part 51 – Universal Studios Day 2, Part 2

We spent time exploring the shops of Hogsmeade before we got in line and rode Flight of the Hippogriff. Fun but short!

Next up, the girls made their way into Hogwarts Castle to ride Forbidden Journey, while I waited in the shade and made a Squirrel friend. I also got to to see the Hogwarts Frog Choir perform.

Part 50 – Universal Studios Day 2, part 1

Day 2 at Universal, and we headed back to the original park. We didn’t actually spend a lot of time there – we watched the BeatBuilders performance, and then we made our way to Kings Cross Station… We were going to ride the Hogswarts Express to Hogsmeade! I loved the theming of the station.

After what seemed like a very short train ride from London, we exited the train into a snowy Hogsmeade. Our first stop there was at the Three Broomsticks for a lunch of traditional British fare.

Part 49 – Universal Studios Day 1, Part 2

After some rest, it was time to head back to Universal for a dinner date. This time we headed to Islands of Adventure where we met back up with Charlotte (who had stayed at the park), all set for a Marvel Character Dinner at Café 4. That was quite fun, with some interesting and amusing interactions with Captain America, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Storm and Rogue.

We finished dinner at the perfect time, as the sun set over the park’s lake. I always love me a pretty sunset!

Part 48 – Goodbye Disney, Hello Universal

It was with a sad heart that we packed our bags and bid farewell to Walt Disney World. But it was time to make our way to our final stop of the Epic USA Birthday Adventure.

Off we went to the other end of Orlando, where we were now staying as close to Universal Studio’s property without actually being on property. It was a decent hotel – biggest hotel room of the entire trip! That night we went next door to TGI Fridays for a meal before calling it an early day.

Universal Day 1 part 1

We had a bit of a lazy morning before it was time for Universal! We headed to the park and after a little wandering/exploring, we stopped in at Finnigans Irish Pub for lunch.

We then magically made our way to Diagon Alley and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. We spent some time there before 3/4 of us headed back to the hotel to rest for a couple of hours (it was the end of the holiday, we were getting tired!)

Part 47 – Walt Disney World Day 8, Part 4

Animal Kingdom

We really didn’t want to leave, but leave we must. We very slowly made our way todays the front of the park, where we split up for a while. Two of our party made a mad dash for Pandora to see the glow in the dark. One went shopping, while I sat watching the Tree of Life Awakenings to finish my night.

Animal Kingdom

Time for the nighttime show! I must say, I loved the soundtrack for Rivers of Light, as well as the show itself.

Animal Kingdom

It was our final full day at Walt Disney World! We had our final Character Dining experience with the Bon Voyage Adventure Breakfast at Trattoria Al Forno on Disney’s Boardwalk. We met Ariel, Prince Eric, Rapunzel and (the only one I wanted a photo with) Eugene (AKA Flynn Rider).

We then made our way to Animal Kingdom (via Port Orleans Resort) where our first ride of the day was Na’vi River Journey in Pandora. Nice relaxing one to start the day.

We explored more of the park, and later Kelly & went back in time to rescue a baby dino on Dinosaur.

We also went on Kilimanjaro Safari again, this time at night just before it closed.

Part 43 – Walt Disney World Day 7, part 2

Hollywood Studios

After Toy Story Land, we made our way towards the Hollywood Boulevard, where we were right on time for the Disney Movie Magic Projection show against the Chinese Theatre. That then flowed right into the Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular Fireworks and Projection show to close out the park and the night.
