Anyone Going the First Week of December?
- Thread starter 21stamps
- Start date
We are skipping AK this time. November 25th is just Epcot, HS, then back to Epcot for dinner and CP. The second leg I'm planning on MK twice- both party days, one day attending, the other leaving at 7, And then another HS/Epcot day for Fantasmic. Not doing parks on the 3rd, I think we'll need to reboot after the cruise, so just planning on monorail hopping and renting a watercraft if weather allows.
Is there anything else besides the Jungle Cruise that I should know about?

Jungle Cruise is the only ride that changes for the holidays. Otherwise, every park and hotel has some manner of Christmas decoration.
Each Epcot country does its own traditional holiday thing.
One thing to look for in particular are gingerbread buildings. Off the top of my head, last year I can remember seeing them in the Contemporary, in the rotunda area at American Experience in Epcot, and in the Land pavilion at Epcot upstairs near the Garden Grill. These are really elaborate pieces, and I can recall the one in the Contemporary had a sign next to it listing the amount of ingredients that went into making it.
That's from the Contemporary last December

Oh this makes me happy! I knew about the one in GF, and WL looks to have beautiful decorations, but I haven't seen anything that really look festive at CR, and was a little bummed about it. My son loved Poly, asks to return all of the time, but I chose the contemporary this trip for the view and being in the same building as monorail/food. Also because I didn't want to deal with kiddo begging to go down the volcano slide in winter.lol
We will definitely look out for these! Have you done the Holidays Around the World? Is it relatively easy to see the storytellers?

The story tellers at Epcot are easy to find, if that's what you mean. The only one that's a little tricky is United Kingdom. That one is located in the back of their area, in that square garden kinda area if that makes any sense. It's back where the Pooh and Tigger greet area used to be.

Yes I know exactly where that is!
In this area? Or are they actually inside the room across the street?
I meant are they very crowded, or pretty easy to see?

We are flying down on Thanksgiving and will be there through November 30th. I am so excited to see all the Christmas decorations and to attend MVMCP. Anxiously waiting on the Candlelight Processional announcement.
Maybe, just maybe, River of Light will be running!
