We decide to do EE at EPCOT, since we have the CP package and we can get 15% off when shopping.
Got to EPCOT around 8, early opening time and walked to Test Track, there's a line, got Fast Passes for return in an hour. We then got into the singles line and DH was 1 car in front of DW, another good concept for Diseny.
We then do Ellen's Energy Adventure, always liked the Dinosaur's. Came back for FP and the ride is broken down. They stamp our FP tickets and it is good for FP until 10 pm. We head over to Imagination. Do the HISTA and ride. Like both. Meet others from MA, Boston area. We met a lot of people from Mass during this trip.
Sent out e-mail cards from Imagination,
Shopped at Mouse Gear for Christmas presents, sent packages back to the room, except for the Disney Sweatshirt DW bought. Have to have a new one. Back to the lodge.
Ate at Roaring Forks, actually ate by the pool, nachos, chilli, cheeseburger. DH back to the room, DW stayed at the pool. It was warm enough today to be at the pool in bathing suit.
After resting, back to EPCOT, did Test Track with little (maybe 5 min.)wait. Headed to the countries, bought troll in Sweden, yearly ritual. Christmas tree will be lit tonight, first time, but it will be at the same time as our CP.
Bought cookies (did not eat them) at ginger bread house in America. Bought and did eat the funnel cakes while waiting in line for CP. We did get in line at 5:45 for the 6:45 show. This is the most distrubing issue with the whole trip.
We did see the Christmas tree light up from across the lake. They then let us into the show, just as TON starting coming down the street. But they told us we had to sit in the front row, well we ended up with very poor seats, could not see the narrator, Jodie Benson the voice of Ariel. They would not let us move. We had waited for over an hour to get good seats and even though we were in the front row, we were way over on the side. I was upset and it kind of spoiled it for me.
The music is good and the conductor was very animated.
Had to rush to get to Canada, made it there by 8 pm, PS = 8 and had to wait until 8:30 to be seated, not too bad.
Had the cheese soup, excellent as these boards had described. Had Filet Minon, DH had Prime rib. Both excellent, but the place was mobbed. Both had Creme Brulet for dessert.
Made it outside just in time to see Illuminations.
Still cold out at night, long pants and sweatshirts.
Maybe tomorrow it will be warmer.
Maybe tomorrow people will start to leave.
We discovered the Hot tubs as the villas is not crowded and that is where we visited for the rest of the trip.
