I went to EPCOT yesterday morning and thought about my Magic Friends as I walked around looking at the Christmas decorations. The Turkey Before Tree war has been going pretty strong here, and the hilarious arguments from both sides had me in stitches. I was alone in EPCOT, really feeling alone but not lonely. The park was nearly empty early on, and even at 11:00 I was with maybe 25 people waiting for the rope near France to drop.
So here is Tree Before Turkey. :xmas:
The Poinsettia plants were everywhere in EPCOT and the vibrant red stood out against the stark grey of the opening day plaque.
As always, the central planter at park entrance is complete with the Christmas tree forest.
The Photopass set up makes it extremely difficult to take complete pictures of the front of the planter. I had to improvise and just get a part of the display. Looks like Donald is staying out of trouble so far.
Even Club Cool is in the Christmas spirit. As with every solo trip, I headed into Club Cool and mooched off them for some Chinese Watermelon soda. It's my favorite. Here's their big Holiday display:
And all the EPCOT 2009 merchandise is in Mouse Gear. I can't tell if these are huge shooters or small glasses - they are an odd size. There's t-shirts and other items with this same design on them. It's especially fantastic that they have World Showcase depicted on the front. The screen printing was quality and the detail extremely nice:
............more to come.
