Woke up to a gorgeous day, after all I was at Disney World! It's an attitude thing I think. I had told my friends about Belz Mall and we decided to check it out before we spent all of our money in the parks. So, off we went. Found some real bargains, including a piece of Disney luggage with a Mickey icon to die for. Grabbed a new pair of pjs for myself, some tees for the kids, and a pair of sweats for the DH. He really wore out the old ones. Also spotted a Sorcerer costume but decided it was way to big for me to wear so I didn't buy it. Later that day, we headed over to Epcot - where I do like to spend most of my time, just so much to take in. We all went to the Candlelight Processional where Robert Urich did a wonderful job! We were in the third row and he really seemed to enjoy the task of narrator. It seemed that no sooner was the singing over, that the Tapestry of Nations parade started. Watched that while bouncing to the music and decided it was time to head over to Innovention for some internet fun. I always get goofy when I send those internet post cards - my kids say I'm getting strange for someone who hated computers, but I always manage to send them a e-mail anyways. Then it was time to find a spot for Illuminations. Wound up on the bridge between England and France, surrounded by the Brazil soccer teams again. They were singing and entertaining until the announcement came on that there was 15 minutes to go - you could feel their excitement before the fireworks began. They were a great crowd to be around. Then it was time to head back for more rest - I must be getting old, that word keeps showing up in my trip report.

Whenever they call me a dreamer, I think of Walt Disney and smile:)
 
What a great day! One day I'll make it to CP. I hear it just puts you right into the Christmas spirit. Thanks for posting.

Three years ago we saw the CP and Robert Urich was there then he does such a great job. It sure does put you in the christmas spirit. We just love to walk around and enjoy ourselves at Epcot. TON is such a great parade.


 
I think a rest at WDW helps eveyone, not just us old folks. ;) :D

I can't wait to go for Christmas. I definitely won't miss the Candelight Processional. :)

Thanks for sharing your trip with us. :)
