Osbourne Christmas Lights was so amazing. We found a spot and watched them turn on. It was a great way to end our trip.

They seemed to be doing CM training. There were about 20 ppl dressed alike. I'm guessing this will be the CM costumes for EE?

I'll upload Epcot pictures and others later today!

Freshly painted Swan

That's amazing how much nicer the building looks after a fresh coat of paint. I was there when they were painting parts of it, but the finished product looks very nice!

Off the subject question, but how come the picture I quoted shows up as a link? I have seen pictures quoted before. Any trick to it?

 

[col]

Are the big presents under the Epcot tree new? I never remembered them being so large before. But, that could be me.
