If you've been reading the blog recently, you might have realized that I haven't actually been doing much park hopping. Perhaps after 14 years of living in the shadow of Disney, I've had enough "magic." Actually, I don't think that's true at all. Life has been pretty busy, and I genuinely enjoy my couch!
That said, I decided that the best way to celebrate my graduation (by the way, "Hi, my name is Jamie. I'm an alum of Penn State University, and a grad student.") was to "hop" to all four Disney parks in one day. And the only person brave or crazy enough to play with me was my mom.
As you can see, we did it!

| AK, Studios, Epcot, and Magic Kingdom: all in one day! |
At the Studios, our one and only activity was sitting at the bar at Prime Time Cafe and enjoying a peanut butter & jelly shake.
From there, we took the car to the TTC and then the monorail to Epcot. We got there around 1:00 and bee-lined to the World Showcase. We split an avocado margarita, had lunch in Japan, and then split a Gran Marnier slush. Hooray for Epcot!
Our park hopping day ended at the Magic Kingdom, where we finally rode an actual ride (the People Mover), plus enjoyed the air conditioned entertainment of the Carousel of Progress. It was a lot of fun, though exhausting, and we got a bunch of fun photos. Plus, the bonus of not riding rides is that we basically waited in no lines all day!
That evening, mom and I had dinner at Red Robin with two of my work friends. We ate and talked and laughed... It was a wonderful non-conventional way to celebrate my non-conventional graduation. And then we wrapped up the weekend with Mother's Day brunch at TooJay's.
