Hey everyone, and welcome to another Update! It's December now, so let's talk a day-long walk and see what pictures it brings us! But first, the speechofacts.

EPCOT

-Crowds medium. Never seemed to get really crowded, lines pretty short as well.

-It's Christmas at EPCOT, and it still doesn't feel like it without the Lights of Winter.

-ImageWorks is no longer really a thing

-Japan has new Totoro plates, for the well-to-do animation eater in you.

-Candlelight is back, and got to see Corbin Bernson of Pysch fame. (From afar of course, would never wait in giant lines for Candlelight. Same show, so I'm ok with just passing it, maybe stopping for a song or two. Does that make me a bad person?)

-LOVE ME!

-There is a new EPCOT Shirt, with Spaceship Earth at sunset and says "The Dawn of a new Disney Era." like on the old promo books we all have.

-Lots of Drunken guys be annoying as always.

-You're gonna' want to watch those force fields

-Soarin' is still fun.

-Mission SPACE has the best assortment of TRON Legacy goods I've seen on property. Pretty much all the Spinmaster toys, Disney's own hoodie and T-Shirt, Kid's pajamas, the Hurley shirts, New Era hats, and the Adidas lightcycle jacket.

-Which I now have.

-And is awesome.

-Still, this begs the question that if MOUSEGEAR has nothing TRON, why on earth is Mission Space so on the ball?

-The new silver railings are all around the Fountain of Nations.

-Both of those things I forgot to get pictures of.

-Sorry. m(_ _)m


OK, that's about all for talking...Now for visualizing!

Enjoy!

Thanks again for the great update.

Quick question about your shots of Germany. I noticed that the building that houses Biergarten with the clock tower facade does not have any christmas decorations on it. I saw pics from earlier that had Germany all decked out as usual with the garlands on the balcony of the clock tower, wreaths on the doors and garland over the entrance arches to the restaurant. Was there any reason that we know of that the decorations would be gone now? Was the rest of the pavilion still decorated?

Yeah, I was with someone who had been there and they had backed me up that there was more at Mission Space. Also a better variety of sizes, which will of course be picked off soon enough. (Got the only Large TRON Adidas jacket...Well, the only one I've seen at all...)

That is amazing. I've seen other cels up for auction, and they are always gorgeous.

I refer to corporate guys yelling "SAKEEEE BOOMMMBBBB!" heading towards Japan.

It's not the drunkeness, it's the de'baggery.

Ah, yeah lame. Plus I mean sake bombs, what? That's lame.

I was the one blacked out getting fish & chips and Strongbow at Rose & Crown!

As part of the "scary" corporate machine, plus a huge WDW fan, it is always with mixed pleasure when a company I am with holds an event at WDW.

On the one hand, I love any excuse to visit WDW and also appreciate the money these companies give WDW for their meetings.

On the other hand, my colleagues can quickly become out of control and I know how much that can ruin the experience for visitors.

There are few things I dislike more than to hear a colleague say "I heard about this round the World drinking tour......". Yikes. Recipe for disaster, IMHO.

We saw the Totoro plates while we were down there and they are indeed awesome and pricey. If we every get the dough to get some decent China that is what we will get :)
