A little over two weeks ago, I received an email announcing the dates for the DVC and Annual Passholder Preview of Journey of Water at Epcot. The same day, I received an email for flights starting at $50 (each way) on Spirit Airlines from Kansas City, so I got a bright idea to see what was available. I have seen multiple posts and videos of people who have taken day trips to Disney…flying in early in the morning and back home the same day, and have always wanted to try it, if I could find flight times that would allow almost a full day there. I was able to achieve that by booking a direct early flight from KC (leaving at 5:45 am..arriving at 9:30 am) and the latest flight of the night back out of Orlando (leaving at 10 pm…arriving at Midnight). That will leave me with around 9-10 hours in the park that day. I’ve never flown Spirit Airlines, as I am strictly a Southwest girl, so that will also be a new experience. I will Uber directly to Epcot and then back to the airport at the end of the day. My only must-dos of the day are to preview Journey of Water and to pick up my Oswald Passholder Magnet. Once those two things are accomplished, who knows where the day will take me? I also plan on videoing the trip and will post videos of my day once I get home, so make sure to follow me on my social media links above so you don’t miss out on footage from my epic one-day trip!
