Friday, December 24, 2010 (Epcot)


After breakfast I purchased our six day WDW tickets at the hotel. We caught the Platinum Shuttle Bus to Epcot. We had front row seats on Soarin’. Catherine went on the rides in the morning. We ate Greek Salads for lunch on the patio at the Electric Umbrella. It was a great place for people watching.

We explored World Showcase clockwise in the afternoon. We took the Gran Fiesta Tour boat ride at the Mexico Pavilion and rode the Maelstrom at Norway. We saw “Reflections of China.” We caught the 5:30 shuttle back to the hotel. We had Subway sandwiches, chips and drinks for dinner in our hotel suite. Many of the evenings we watched the Hallmark Channel on television.

I would never recommend a Christmas-New Years week for first-time visitors. However for anyone who has visited enough to navigate the parks without a map, like us, it is a great opportunity to experience the beauty and joy of the holiday season which outweighs the huge crowds most of the time. Cell phones were necessary to keep in touch.
