We wanted to do something unique while down in Orlando for Christmas and seeing that Epcot has a
Candlelight Processional in December, we thought it would be fun to spend Christmas Day there.

I'll admit I had no clue what Epcot was about and from what I remembered I thought it was more science/technically based. Boy was I wrong. The whole back-end of the park is broken into countries so you walk from Mexico, into Norway, into China, into Germany, then Italy, then you come to Independence Hall, to Japan to Morocco, France England and Canada.
Our linner reservations were for 4:15 so that we could make the 6:45 viewing of the Candlelight Processional..by buying tickets we were guaranteed seats for the viewing.

This candlelight processional was exactly what I needed to get into the spirit..I sort of wish we had been able to see the 4:15 show instead. I would highly recommend participating in this if you are in ePCOT. It was lovely!
My only gripe with Disney is that everything is so damn expensive if they could charge you for the air to breathe they would, but it was a fun day. We didn't make it past Morocco which was a bummer, and Nate didn't get to the Race Track but overall, it was one hell of a Christmas!
What is your favorite park at Disney?

I've been to Epcot twice in my life. The first time was as a 7th grader and I hated it, and the next time was as a college student (for a competition) and I loved it.
ReplyDeleteThat may have had something to do with "borrowing" one of my teammate's IDs and doing a little "drinks around the world" tour, though.
Oh how I wish you had more time in Epcot. It is just lovely! The first time I lived there I had no desire to go because I thought it was all science. And then I actually went and fell in love!
ReplyDeleteWhen I go on my trips down to WDW, Epcot is the place I spend most of my time. I love ending the day at World Showcase with a leisurely stroll through the countries!
@Vaudiophile I believe I'm the only one who didn't know about the "drinks around the world" tour! Bummed to find out about it after the fact!
ReplyDelete@FruitFly can't believe a bunch of people are coming in for the run next weekend when I am taking off. Have lots of fun!!
