Epcots Holidays around the World

[transparant]

Can you tell me a bit more about this? I'm trying to plan our trip days and the last day we have in the parks is the 24th of Nov. That is the day that Epcots Holidays around the World starts. I'm thinking we might reserve Epcot for that day.

I'm bummed that there isn't any Mickeys Very Merry Christmas Party shows for the dates that we will be there. I was really looking forward to that one.

We were there last year and while our 3 teen ds were totally uninterested dh and I liked it. There are set times that happen in each country. We also combined that with a snack from the country etc. We saw Baba ? in Italy, she was like a good witch supposedly, but they tell you the tradition associated with the country and the costumes are amazing. They let the kids sit up close on the ground if they wanted etc. I dont know if you could pose for pictures after but I did enjoy Per Noelles costume too. I think its very interesting if your family would go for it.

DH and I enjoyed spending an afternoon traveling from country to country listening to the various stories about the holidays. Each story is about 15 minutes long. You can have your picture taken afterwards. The schedule wil be on a separate sheet in the park map.

We are in our early 30's and do not have children. We feel that taking time to enjoy all the sights, sounds and details done by Disney is worth the price of admission. One of my co-workers goes to Disney yearly; his take is that Disney is just good, clean fun, and I agree fully!

We were there in 1997. It was my DH's first trip to WDW. We found it very interesting. We didn't stay for everyone's story, but it was cool seeing the costumes, etc.

I'm sad that we didn't go to MVMCP when we were there. We didn't know much about it and thought it was just for kids. Having been to 2 MNSSHP's, we keep saying that one of these years we'll go again in time for the Christmas party.

We loved Holidays around the world at Epcot. The biggest thing I remember was the different Santa Claus in each country. It was cool to learn about the different traditions. The other thing is the Candelite Processional - I HIGHLY reccomend going and seeing this. It is beautiful and Christian based. The lighting of the Christmas tree is also fun - the characters do a little show and the lights are fantastic.

I have my brochures and stuff at home still, I'll have to check and see what I'm forgetting.
