Summary

We’re taking you through an incredible weekend full of fun, friends, and Florida sunshine as we wrap up another amazing Main Street 16 event! We kick things off at the Drury Inn at Disney Springs, and we’ll share all of the perks that make this one of our favorite places to stay—including the free hot breakfast, evening Kickback, early park entry, and easy walk to Disney Springs. From there, we’re off to a delicious lunch at Summer House and of course Salt & Straw and the invention of the snickerdoodle chocolate chip cookie sandwich. Then we talk about our Friday at Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom, from dining at Yak & Yeti to catching Happily Ever After before rushing to TRON to close the night out. On Saturday, we hit EPCOT early with Cosmic Rewind, Frozen, and Remy, then made time for lunch at Bar Riva before an action-packed afternoon at Hollywood Studios. Yes, we managed to squeeze in Tower, Railway, Mania, Rise, Slinky, and more—all topped off with another sweet stop at Salt & Straw. Sunday brings the awards ceremony where we reveal ride totals, our weekend lightning lane stats, and celebrate this year’s challenge winners—plus a huge thank you to the incredible sponsors and small businesses that helped make it all possible, including Drury Hotels, Vacation Grocery Delivery, Balanced Weather, Wondermade, Sunshine Baking Princess, Yissa Creations, and Sol Wellness. Join us for the recap of four parks, dozens of rides, tons of great food, and the kind of community magic you can only find at a Main Street 16 weekend. And yes... we’re already planning for next year.
