Florida Weekend Escape

📍 Walt Disney World, Orlando Orlando's Disney is currently the largest Disney theme park on the planet—a massive resort with four theme parks. Let me break down the magic: 🎠 Magic Kingdom The OG Disney experience. Classic animated movies come to life with the iconic castle, carousel, and endless attractions. Pro tip: This park is packed with kids and families, so expect stroller traffic jams and princess dress overload. It's charming but very similar to other Magic Kingdoms worldwide—if you've been to Shanghai or Paris, you'll recognize the blueprint. Still, that castle hit hits every time! ✨ 🌎 EPCOT My personal favorite! This park is a global cultural immersion. Each pavilion showcases: 🏛️ Authentic architecture from 11 countries 🍜 Traditional foods (the France pavilion's pastries? 🤤) 🛍️ Country-specific souvenirs you can't find elsewhere You can literally "travel" from Mexico to Japan to Norway in one afternoon. The cultural detail is insane—staff are actually from those countries! Warning: The park is HUGE. Like, "my Fitbit died from exhaustion" huge. Wear your comfiest sneakers and pace yourself. One day here = marathon training. 🏃‍♀️ 💰 Florida Resident Hack: If you live in Florida (proof of address required), grab the Florida Resident Ticket from Disney's website. 2 days, 2 parks is the sweet spot for savings. Essentially, your electric bill = Disney discount goldmine! 🏡✨ Bottom line: Magic Kingdom is for the nostalgia, but EPCOT is for the culture vultures. Both are must-dos—just bring stamina and sunscreen. #US #Florida #Jacksonville #Orlando
