Oops, We Forgot to Leave Our Weather at Home! A Fantastic Festival of the Arts 2025 TR! (Updated 2/8!!)

[VAtink]

SO happy you did another Trip Report. Not only do I adore your Trip Reports as I travel a lot with my adult daughter, but you were there the EXACT time we were there. We were across the street at BCV. We almost were at BWV and it would have been fun to meet you in the lobby. Would have loved to have met your mom since I'm the mom on my trips!

Aw, thank you! That would have been fun to have met up, oh well, maybe we'll be there the same week again in the future!

The weather was horrendous and I'm from the frozen tundra of the Midwest! Wow!

Right? That was such a gross weather week, I'm just happy the rain finally stopped for our last two days!

Day 2, Part 1: Another Rainy Epcot Morning!​

We got to sleep in a bit this morning. Originally our plan was to hit rope drop at Epcot, however the forecast showed the rain stopping around 9, so we decided we’d rather wait for the rain to end before heading out.

We ended up waking up around 7:00 and made some coffee and slowly got ready. Around 8 we headed to the coffee shop in the lobby since for some reason our room only had two coffee pods in it and we wanted more coffee. We then headed back to the room to enjoy the coffee and the chocolate croissants and wait out the rain.

Around 8:30 the rain had stopped, so we headed out. This time we took the shortcut through the courtyard to get to the lobby and down to the boardwalk and it was SO much faster than walking through the halls, it seriously shaved a few minutes off of the walk!

We made our way over to Epcot, and just as we were entering, the rain started again. NOOOOOO. Stupid weather getting it wrong. Fortunately, we brought our umbrellas just in case!

Once in the park I made a DAS for Soarin’, and the return time was in 5 minutes, so we started to head there. On the way we had to get our usual picture of my mom in front of the tea store!



We then continued on to Soarin’! There was a short wait, but soon we were on! This time we were assigned in C3, but the closest seats to B, so not horrible, AND they fixed the Eiffel tower lean, so that was cool to see! I do miss the old ending though with the fountain of nations, I miss that fountain!

By the time we were off of Soarin’ we were into our LL return time for Guardians, so headed that way.

As we got closer we were shocked to see the line for the VQ, it stretched all the way back through the breezeway between Creations and Connections, I’ve never seen it so long! It turns out they had a little snafu this morning and accidentally called all the boarding groups through like 80 all at once, oops! No wonder the line was bonkers!

At least for the LL there was no line and soon we were on!



This time we got Conga for the song. STILL no Disco! I’m starting to think it’s because we always ride this using the LL so are always on the right sides of the preshow rooms, and then are usually some of the first to exit the final preshow room, so maybe just due to the timing of our exiting that final room we’re not aligning with when Disco is played?!? Maybe? Or maybe that song just doesn’t exist.

Next up: More Farts Food!​

I am also wondering if Disco Inferno is being hoarded by the song gods!! We rode GotG 5 times during our trip. Each time we were hoping for Disco Inferno. NEVER got it. We did get September 2x (our second fav song), Everybody Wants to Rule the World 2x and Congo once. GotG is my favorite ride of all time no matter the song.

ETA: We always rode with VQ not LL.

Oh my gosh I feel like we get Disco Inferno ALL THE TIME and it's my least favorite song LOL

Ugh on this rain but good for you making the best of it. So funny you've never heard Disco Inferno.

Around 8 we headed to the coffee shop in the lobby since for some reason our room only had two coffee pods in it and we wanted more coffee.

They are very skimpy on coffee supplies in some of the resorts. I always call for extra coffee and blankets when we check into the room.

On the way we had to get our usual picture of my mom in front of the tea store!

The umbrella makes it look very "Mary Poppins - ish." It is very cute.

I’ve never seen it so long! It turns out they had a little snafu this morning and accidentally called all the boarding groups through like 80 all at once, oops! No wonder the line was bonkers!

I would hate to have been in that line.

Haha, seriously! My favorite song is September, which we used to always get, but lately we keep getting I Ran which is my least favorite song (so far....maybe I'll dislike Disco even more if I ever get it!). My mom's favorite is One Way or Another, which we rarely get as well. I do love the ride though regardless of song!

And good to know it has nothing to do with timing/line used. One of these days I'm just going to have to win the lottery and rent out Epcot and stay on the ride until I finally get all the songs!

 

[VAtink]

HAA! I feel like that's just how it goes on this ride sometimes, we've been getting I Ran a ton lately and it's our least favorite song! (so far...)

Yeah, at least this day did dry off eventually, so not a total washout like the previous day and the following day! I'm hoping this next trip in June we'll finally get Disco, of course in June we're only going to Epcot twice, so have fewer chances, but statistically it in theory should happen one of these rides!

Yeah, we were surprised they only had two pods! We did request more, and they delivered like 15 to our room later, so that was good at least!

The umbrella makes it look very "Mary Poppins - ish." It is very cute.

Yes! I actually really like this picture with the umbrella, it's one of my favorite tea shop ones from over the years!

I would hate to have been in that line.

Right? I felt bad for the CMs there, they kept yelling that people should only line up if they've been called, apparently they didn't realize yet that everyone had been called all at once! That line must have taken a long time to get through.

Someone got in trouble for that boarding group fiasco. Yikes!!
