    Now I know to go to Epcot during the holidays because I've never been and was thinking about going this summer. After watching this, I think I'll skip the summer trip and head over in December

    I still want an updated version of the GOOD version of journey into imagination, but for some reason that sweater warms my heart 💜🧡

    I performed as part of the Candlelight Procession in 2006! An experience that was out of this world!

    Way back in maybe 1996 or 97 they used to have a double decker bus filled with Disney characters come to the area near the tree. They would get off the bus and meet and greet guests. My daughter was about 6 then and she bought a giant pen and autograph book. She got about a dozen autographs from the characters. They even had some goofy looking reindeer that were very engaging. Ah good times.

    I performed in Candlelight Processional every year since 2004. It is the one thing I have missed the most because of the pandemic.

    I need that Figment sweater. Before you even said it could be merch, I needed it to be merch.

    If you feel so inclined to keep this series going.... perhaps covering the various meet and greet characters. Ya know, the creepy ones from opening day, those troll things from Norway. Quality nightmare fodder!

    Oh man I love me some Epcot stuff around the Christmas time! I love seen the candlelight progression, and what I know and be called was "Santas around the world." They're wonderful and fun to see and learn what each country does around the holidays ^^ And now seeing figment in an adorable ugly sweater! oh my goodness! he looks adorable!

    Figment's ugly Christmas sweater is my EVERYTHING now! If there's a plush toy of it, I want twelve of them!
    That being said, it'd be amazing if next year they decorated his upside-down home for Christmas. A tree in the living room, some turkey and fruitcake in the kitchen, maybe he could even have the clip of himself and Dreamfinder from the 1984 parade playing on the TV, how freak'n cool would that be?

    I love the different versions of Santa at the World Showcase. The Norwegian one is my favorite, he's hilarious and stands out the most.

    • @BuckarooBanzai84
      @BuckarooBanzai84 3 года назад

      In Sweden, they are called "Tomtes", and if you ever want to see a more interactive version of that, (when there isn't a pandemic) come on over to Lindsborg, KS!

    I've wanted to return to EPCOT for a second visit following it's renewal once I've saved up the money to do so, now I know I'll DEFINITELY make sure it's during December so I can check out all the holiday stuff, I gotta see that candlelight processional. And it really is a HOLIDAY celebration, not just Christmas and they're too scared of offending people to simply refer to it as a Christmas event. Super cool to see all these other cultures' winter holidays and traditions actually represented and celebrated, since in the west it's like 95% Christmas, 4% Hanukkah, and then 1% who don't celebrate either.
