Soooo..... we´ve drifted a lot already! Any other trivia question from Epcot?? I can´t think of any now!

Okay, back to a bit more trivia. Since we're on the line of CandleLight...What is the event called in Epcot that consists of CandelLight, Santa's around the World, Hanukah, and Kwanzaa?

 

[Maria]

LOL! that´s an easy one... I´ll leave it for a "non cast member" :animwink:

Holidays Around the World

"Come celebrate the holidays/With everything in the world"

 

[DisneyCP2000]

Correct, I pretty much gave it away in my question.
Continuing on the same subject... Can you name some of the "santa's" in World Showcase, besides the obvious Santa Claus in America ?

 

[Maria]

Please excuse my spelling in some of them!

Pêre Noel in France
Kris Kringle in Germany
Father Christmas in UK (dressed in green)

I´m missing the Santa in Norway! Can´t remember the name! :brick:

The other ones were The Three Kings in Mexico, The Lucky Monkey King in China, The Kwanzaa storyteller, the Daruma teller in Japan, Canada Santa, the one in Morocco (again :brick: ) and the one in AA for Hanukah.

 

[DisneyCP2000]

Correct, correct, correct!
So far you've gotten Mexico, China, Germany, Japan, France, UK, and Canada. You sure know Epcot Maria :sohappy: !!!
Now, all that's left is Norway, Italy and Morocco.

 

[Maria]

Sorry... forgot to mention Italy! It´s La Befana! :animwink:

I´m still trying to remember the names of Norway and Morocco! :brick:

 

[DisneyCP2000]

You'll be mad for not knowing Norway's.

 

[Maria]

Joulenissen!!! or however it´s written!! :sohappy:
Thank you!!! :lol:

 

[DisneyCP2000]

All that's left now is the Morccan storyteller?

Hey Maria...Do you have any Target's (or as I like to pronounce it Tar-je) where you live? It's like Kmart or Walmart, there was one by Walmart in Kissimme.

 

[Maria]

LOL!! Good hint! I have no idea of the proper spelling though! Wow! You are good at Epcot too!! :sohappy:

Maria, you worked CandleLight Processional, did you ever meet Lenny or Shirley???? (front row 1st and 4th from left).

[Maria]

Here is a pic from Candlelight 98. I don´t have a scanner and don´t have any scanned from 99 (I worked GR during 99 and escorted the Three kings again on my last day of work, by my request, so I don´t have that many from 99) :animwink: I worked with them during the summer for Lord of the Dance!

 

[DisneyCP2000]

Okee-do-kee...Let's move on to the subject of Illuminations Every afternoon the Globe, fire barge, and the fountains are hauled out of this area of World Showcase. By what country are these barges hauled from?

 

[Lhriangel]

Italy?

 

[Maria]

nah... Angel... you walked more than needed!

 

[Disneynut]

Well, let's see, the drawbridge is between China and Refreshment Outpost, so I will say China.

 

[DisneyCP2000]

Bingo! How many petals are on the Globe in Illuminations?
