The third was another two-day adventure, but it came after the FastPass+ revolution, which meant I was introduced to the magic of online scheduling. The second time was much more whirlwind - only a day or two, and spent largely at Epcot and Magic Kingdom. Since that initial trip, I’ve been three times, including our last adventure. Proudly displaying the Happily Ever After Button – Picture from Serenity How many times since that initial Disney World trip have you been back? How has your anticipation and planning for those trips evolved? And he introduced me to the glory - and gut-ache! - of the World Showcase dinner (one piece of food or drink from each pavilion). I have him to thank for getting me thoroughly ensconced in the lore and love of WDW: He’d been on some of the fancy WDW backstage tours and provided excellent commentary about the parks and their many attractions as we waited in lines and dodged parades.
