Christmas in Disneyworld!!

Joe, Henry and I had a blast! If I live to be 100, I will always adore the Disney experience. And to those fundamentalist Christians who think that Disney only caters to gays, they should have heard the Christmas concert at Epcot. We listened as Gary Sinise (Lt. Dan from Forrest Gump) read the Christmas story from the Bible, heard a 100-voice choir sing a dozen carols, ending with the Hallelujah Chorus, and watched with joy as the crowd rose to honor it.

My favorite rides remain Pirates of the Caribbean (the addition of Capt. Jack Sparrow is great), The Living Seas, The Haunted Mansion, and the Teacups. We also went to Mickey's Philharmagic (a new 3-D movie). It was amazing, and is now a new favorite. I even braved Test-Track at EPCOT, and loved it! (Even though I screamed the entire time).

The only disappointments were the "New" Tikki Room (the old one was much better), and the fact that at the end of It's a Small World, they've removed the "Sa-Waht! Dee Krahp" sign from the exit. Sigh...

By the way, the coffee at the Italian restaurant in Italy at EPCOT was superb...
