Holiday Storytellers

The Holiday Storytellers are out daily right now in World Showcase. In each country, except for Canada, you can hear stories about their countries holiday traditions. After they are done telling their stories, some of them will stay for pictures. This year I was able to meet the Kwanzaa storyteller, Hanukkah storyteller, the nutcracker in Germany, La Befana in Italy, the Monkey King in China, and the Daruma Vendor in China.

It's fairly easy to watch several storytellers in one day. They do plenty of shows per day and they last about ten minutes. I found that you could easily walk up right as they were starting and get a good spot to watch. Most of the storytellers have a stage or some sort of decorated area. If they don't, just look for the sign that's near each location.

Christmas Decorations at Epcot

Epcot is all decorated for Christmas and it looks beautiful. I love seeing all the decorations around the park. There are some new decorations this year, which I love. I hope they add even more next year.

November Characters

Take a look at all the characters that I met in November.

The Rainy Day Move It! Shake It! Celebrate It!

Did you know that when it's raining, they do a Move It! Shake It! Celebrate It! Rainy Day Cavalcade? No? Me either. I was at Magic Kingdom and it was raining pretty hard and I decided to leave. I was near the hub and they were playing music that they don't normally play. I didn't think much of it until I saw vehicles of characters coming though. I didn't get many pictures and they aren't very good either. Every time I took a picture, I had to lift up my poncho, get soaked, and try to keep my camera dry.

Cinderella's Holiday Wish

During the Christmas season, Cinderella's Holiday Wish is performed nightly at 6:15. It's about a ten minute show in which the castle is transformed into a shimmering ice castle. Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy come out on stage and shortly after, the Fairy Godmother joins them from a balcony on the castle. They discuss how they should transform the castle but then decide that Cinderella should get to choose how her castle is decorated. She decides that she wants it to sparkle like her glass slippers. After a little bibbidi bobbidi boo, the castle begins to light up.
