Saturday: our one and only Genie+  day. We started with breakfast at Kona Cafe at the Polynesian, we took a Minnie van from POFQ. The servings were huge, but we had a 7:30 reservation and didn’t have food until 8. We decided to walk over to TTC from Poly, nice walk, mostly shaded. Jumped on the monorail and were at EPCOT for 9 am. Missed extra magic but figured we had G+ so no need to rush. A 9:15 Frozen ride. Met Donald outside the Mexican pavillion at 930 right when he started. Went over and did Nemo again and tried Turtle Talk with Crush. Liv was bored and we bailed 5 min in. Left the aquarium and went to see Pooh again. Olivia was tired and ended up taking a 2+ hour nap. We booked guardians using ILL with a 12:45-1:45 return. We both rode and after Liv woke up we park hopped on the monorail to MK. We did the carousel and Pooh again. After some splash pad time near Dumbo, Liv changed and we headed out. We got back to the room around 4, and I got us a 6 PM res for Raglan Road at 6. We took the boat to DS and got to the restaurant at 6. Waited a few minutes and then got seated. Ate and left. The boat line was huge so we ordered a Minnie van to bring us back. Finished packing and got to bed around 8:30
