Epcot- Holidays Around the World

[beedee12]

Hi everybody!

So I am starting to make our touring plans for our December trip. It's just my husband and I going and neither one of us have been there around Christmas time. I'm trying to decide about whether or not we want to schedule in the holidays around the world storytellers in Epcot. Should we do all of them? Or some of them? Or should we just catch them if we are in the right place at the right time? I have no idea what to do

Thanks in advanced!

I'm sure some folks really enjoy them, I'm fine if we just happen to catch them. Towards the end.

I enjoy them! But-they are hard to catch-the schedule does not encourage going around the world to see them in order...I spent one week trying to catch all of them and it was not worth that...my favorite was Germany-def. catch that one...and pick up some Gluhven...

Big hint. Once the schedule of the storytellers is published, it will be in alphabetical order by country. Which is not the order the countries appear around World Showcase. I like to take the schedule, plop it into Excel or Word and then put in order of the countries going clockwise around the Showcase. Then you can see the times of the storytellers in a normal walk around (or go backwards if you like to start in Canada).

Personally, I think trying to see all the storytellers in one evening is not a good idea. For the first evening, I tend to see the tellers as we encounter them, and they next time, we just go to the ones we haven't seen yet.

If you are going in order to experience the Christmas magic, then, YES, I think you should try to see some of them. Which ones is going to be a matter of opinion.

China and Morocco are not Christmas related, but do talk about there holiday traditions that are around the same time.

We really enjoyed Norway as this was not a Christmas story we knew of before this. Germany is also fun and shows how many of our own American traditions got their start. Father Christmas in England was very good too. We didn't catch France or Italy, so I can't comment on those.
