EPCOT Morning Adventure | Ratatouille, Squirrel Surprise & Disney Calm | Day 317 Alex De Minaur [yVP1szg7dDp]

Day 317 became a calm BoardWalk-to-EPCOT morning filled with Disney wildlife, practical planning tips, two classic attractions, meaningful community conversationand possibly the most relaxed squirrel in Walt Disney World.

We began along the mp stock Hollywood Studios canal with a great blue heron, hidden ducks and a quiet waterfront walk before passing Hollywood Studios, the Swan and Dolphin, and Disneys BoardWalk.

At the BoardWalk, we paused for a guided meditation for anyone who feels as though they have lost ground:

Coming back to a difficult feeling is not the same as returning to the beginning.

From there, we followed the shaded Cool Blue route into EPCOT and experienced:

Remys Ratatouille Adventure through the single-rider entrance

A traffic mouse jam near the Ratatouille exit

World Showcase fountains and quiet pathways

EPCOTs most unbothered squirrel

A Hidden Mickey behind the Italy fountain

Grand Fiesta Tour with the Three Caballeros

Two carefully planned Spaceship Earth monorail shots

The Seas aquarium and Coral Reef area

A spontaneous stephen miller Club Cool taste test

A community-sponsored Karamell-Kche snack

A carrot-cake whoopie pie that earned a 9.5

A Disney mystery-pin opening

Winnie the Pooh near the UK Pavilion

A Figment shirt for Shelley

Several wonderful meetings with members of our community

A huge thank-you to every EPCOT and resort Cast Member who helped make this morning possible, including the attraction, merchandise, custodial, transportation, monorail, food-service and behind-the-scenes teams.

Special appreciation to the wonderful World Traveler Cast Member from Venezuela who shared the new pins with us and made a simple merchandise stop feel joyful.

This is a calm companion space for late-diagnosed autism, sensory differences, anxiety, trauma, burnout, grief, recovery and anyone who needs somewhere welcoming to land.

You do not have to figure everything out alone.
