Today's adventure begins as the
0:03
recording of this TGIF.
0:07
It is Friday, December 19th, 2025
0:11
and I am heading to Epcot Center.
0:14
Welcome everyone. Adam the Woo here. It
0:17
is going to be a wonderful day. It's a
0:19
little overcast. It might rain
0:22
and if it does, that's perfectly fine.
0:24
I'm not bringing an umbrella. Rolling
0:27
with the punches, if you will, taking my
0:30
chances. Festival of the Holidays is
0:32
happening at Epcot. One of my fave, dare
0:35
I say, one of my favorite festivals that
0:37
happens around World Showcase. Get to
0:40
see some of the Santaas from different
0:43
areas, different countries. And this
0:46
will be the first time going around
0:47
World Showcase since I've been to Italy.
0:50
So, I get to see the Italy Christmas
0:53
witch.
0:55
You heard me correctly. even though I
0:56
had trouble saying the word witch for
0:59
for whatever reason. Probably because
1:00
I'm not properly caffeinated yet. And
1:04
probably see Pierre Noel, Santa
1:07
over in France, and a few other places.
1:10
And I was just in Paris, so the Pierre
1:12
Noel thing will be kind of a nice a nice
1:16
touch. Join me. It's Festival of the
1:19
Holiday Time
1:21
at Walt Disney World. Shall you
1:26
Oh, that's warm. Woo. Also, this spot
1:29
always reminds me of the Universal
1:32
monster movie Frankenstein when he
1:33
throws the girl in the water. This spot
1:35
right here.
1:39
And I was just where I was just at the
1:40
spot where Mary Shel
1:43
when she was staying with Lord Byron and
1:45
other people came up with the idea for
1:48
Frankenstein. So, kind of neat to see
1:49
this again now that I returned from that
1:53
spot. All right.
1:55
Get over to Epcot. Going to definitely
1:57
be some Christmas feels in the theme
1:59
park. Weather currently does not feel
2:02
too much like the holidays. Little warm
2:05
compared to what I've been in the last
2:06
month.
2:09
Going over the relatively newly
2:11
installed speed humps. A few months ago
2:13
they put these in. And because it is a
2:16
Friday as I'm filming this, it is going
2:18
to be very busy around World Showcase in
2:21
a few hours. Right now it's 10:30. Not
2:24
busy yet, but by the time 3 4 5:00 rolls
2:28
around, it is going to be an incredible
2:30
beehive of activity back there at World
2:31
Showcase. I know from experience. I know
2:35
from experience, dude.
2:38
I don't know why I thought of Billy
2:39
Madison and Chris Farley, but I did.
2:41
Just checking the temperature. It's
2:42
currently 74°. Going to get up to 79°
2:46
before dipping back down to 74 when the
2:48
sun sets. about 30 degrees warmer than
2:52
where where I've been the last month. Oh
2:54
yeah, it's time to get my Christmas at
2:57
Epcot on. Looking at myself in the
3:00
mirror here underneath Spaceship Earth.
3:02
It's World Showcase Time. World Showcase
3:04
Day. Let me stop in Communicore Hall.
3:07
See what's going on inside here.
3:09
Festival of the Holidays inside
3:11
Communicore Hall.
3:14
All right, I'm stepping in here now.
3:18
Communicore Hall. They have merchandise
3:19
in here, too. And Santa Claus is meeting
3:22
over there as well. Over in the distance
3:24
over there. Santa Claus is meeting in
3:25
here. I think he used to meet at the
3:27
Odyssey, but now he's in here. Ah,
3:29
Figment's got his Christmas sweater on
3:30
as well. So, it means I got to see
3:32
Figment at some point today as well. I
3:33
got to go on Journey to Imagination.
3:34
That's a cute new plush right there. So
3:36
far, pretty mellow at the moment. I'm
3:38
going to head back to France first. I
3:41
was looking at the itinerary and
3:43
schedule for the storytellers, aka the
3:45
different Santaas from around the world,
3:46
and they kind of bounce around a little
3:47
bit. So, the first one I'm going to do
3:49
is over here underneath the Eiffel
3:50
Tower, Pierre Noel. And then I'll go
3:52
back over. I passed by England. I'm
3:54
going to go back over to the UK after
3:55
Pierre Noel. Talk about the ultimate
3:57
country hopping. I was just in Paris a
4:00
couple days ago, and now I'm in the fake
4:02
Paris.
4:07
Interesting how that works and how
4:07
quickly plane travel can get you voices.
4:10
Oh, I can already hear Pierre Noel.
4:13
Momentarily, he'll be appearing over
4:14
here at the stage next to the little I
4:18
guess you call it a rose garden. Maybe
4:19
not a rose garden, but little hedge
4:22
garden. I hear Pierre Pierre Noel making
4:25
his way.
4:27
He's making his way across the courtyard
4:29
over there. It's hard to pick a favorite
4:31
storyteller favorite showcase Santa, but
4:34
Pierre Noel is definitely top three for
4:36
me.
4:38
Sure.
4:52
>> And as we say in my country
4:52
well that mean joyous Christmas.
4:57
>> Now you might say merry Christmas. Eh
5:00
joy is better.
5:03
That's enough. Let me ask, do you know
5:07
who I am?
5:10
We should tell No. Well, I am the good
5:14
spirit of the
5:17
joy for me to see all of you in such
5:21
good spirit.
5:23
Ma, I have another question for you.
5:27
Have any of you or your pet phone?
5:32
Have you ever written a letter to my
5:35
friend center at the North Pole?
5:38
>> I have.
5:39
>> Well, you big people, you can admit this
5:40
too.
5:42
>> Well, France, if he shall write a letter
5:44
to me, I put a return address on the
5:47
envelope. The French government pays the
5:50
postage of my reply.
5:53
Not bad.
5:55
I get so many letter. I would like to
5:59
share with you.
6:01
>> He does not believe in Christmas.
6:05
He doesn't believe in here no well.
6:09
But for me, nothing surpasses the magic
6:14
of the fox night
6:16
with the fragile beauty of a child's
6:19
face.
6:21
Christmas morning.
6:27
Hello. With Christmas still days away,
6:27
Uncle Lou secretly decorated the tree
6:30
and Franto
6:32
set up the crash. You know this word
6:35
crash,
6:36
the nativity scene,
6:39
>> one of the most important symbols of
6:42
Christmas to Leven
6:44
though it was invented by an Italian
6:48
St. Francis of He's okay too.
6:59
She conclude her letter.
6:59
So you can see I see Christmas. It's a
7:03
very magical day.
7:06
All I ever wish is a Christmas tree.
7:10
Don't
7:13
let you know where
7:16
love
7:19
is very
7:21
and that may mean that's a sport taste
7:24
of a fresh Christmas se into the eyes of
7:27
a delightful little child.
7:32
A sneaky little child.
7:38
one.
7:47
>> I have just received a letter.
7:47
>> Can you guess who I received a letter
7:49
from?
7:51
Madame Fran. He emailed me this morning.
7:56
So I think he believes in the panel now.
8:01
A little bit.
8:03
Now what of you? Do you believe in
8:06
penel?
8:07
>> Yes.
8:08
>> Yeah. Do you believe in Christmas
8:23
it is
8:23
nowhere?
8:47
Joyous Christmas and good New Year
8:47
everyone.
8:49
That's awesome. Nice to meet you.
8:58
>> Over at the American Pavilion. Going to
8:58
pop inside the American Adventure
9:00
Theater and see the Voices of Liberty,
9:02
which are now during the holidays, the
9:03
Dickens Carrollers. And here's some
9:05
Christmas tunes. And then after that, go
9:07
over to Italy right inside of here. I'm
9:10
not going to watch the American
9:11
Adventure today, but it is one of my
9:13
favorite animatronic shows. Going to be
9:15
doing all the festival holiday stuff. I
9:16
am going to pop inside the Liberty
9:18
Theater to see the Voices of Liberty
9:20
doing their holiday cheer, their holiday
9:21
Christmas set, which is always going to
9:24
which is always always good. The Voices
9:25
of Liberty are always good no matter
9:27
what season it is, but for the holidays
9:28
is extra special.
9:30
>> Christmas Christmas in the air.
9:34
Christmas [singing]
9:41
in the air [music] in the air in the air
9:42
in the air. Listen to the bell ringing.
9:45
you the message everywhere that there is
9:47
Christmas [singing] in the air.
9:53
>> HELLO EVERYONE. WE'RE THE VOICES OF
9:54
LIBERTY. [applause]
10:17
>> [singing]
10:18
>> In the meadow, we can build a snowman
10:22
and pretend that he is far.
10:34
>> All right, I'm over at the Italy
10:36
pavilion now. Saw a lot of fountains in
10:38
Italy. And there is a fountain.
10:41
here as well.
10:44
Okay, you got Via Napoli, which means
10:47
Naples. And I went to Naples, so the
10:48
very first pizza place ever. So, it's
10:50
interesting to see their pizzeria and
10:52
via Napoli. Interesting. And they have
10:55
all the
10:57
all the items being set up for New
10:59
Year's. They're already starting to
11:00
settle that up. It will not be at Epcot
11:03
on New Year's. I did it one year. One of
11:05
the worst experiences
11:07
>> for me personally. I absolutely hated
11:10
it. Isabella, my love. Now you must
11:14
promise me that you will not fly.
11:17
Promise me.
11:18
>> I love that.
11:18
>> No flying.
11:21
>> She says she will be a very good girl.
11:24
So we can Oh no. Oh. Oh. Isabella. Oh,
11:28
you're very naughty. Now I want you to
11:31
stand there. You think about what you
11:33
have done. Huh?
11:35
Perdon. Uh she is very very nervous
11:40
today. Uh but she have a reason to be
11:43
nervous. Please my friends, can you tell
11:47
me have you seen any mean witches here
11:52
today?
11:53
No. No. Oh mean. Oh, you see Isabella.
11:58
Now these are our friends and we wish to
12:01
our friends Bual.
12:05
Yes. Do you know what does that mean?
12:07
Bonatal.
12:09
No. Bonatal in Italian is merry
12:13
Christmas. See, merry Christmas.
12:14
Bonatal. I have a story for you today.
12:18
My name is Laba
12:22
and I am
12:24
a witch. Oh,
12:28
but I am a very good witch. See? Yes.
12:31
This is why I must disguise myself
12:35
because those mean witches they tease
12:39
me. Not a very nice thing to do, huh? I
12:43
think maybe they are jealous. They know
12:46
that Labana,
12:48
I am the giftgiver in my country,
12:51
Italia. So if you have been very very
12:56
good then labafana brings toys and
13:00
goodies and sweets. Yes.
13:04
But if you have been maybe
13:08
not so very good,
13:11
what do you think Labopana might bring
13:13
to you then? Huh? Oh no. Everybody knows
13:17
this. Have to keep an eye on you.
13:21
Now in America, I know that you have a
13:25
very different giftgiver. No. Is that
13:28
right? Who brings all the toys at
13:30
Christmas time?
13:32
>> IT'S SANTA. SANTA CLAUS? WELL, I must
13:36
tell you something. I have been bringing
13:38
gifts down the chimneys of the bambini.
13:41
A long time before old Saint Nick was
13:45
even a bambino himself. Poor old love
13:49
does not have a sleigh. So what do you
13:52
suppose buffana flies on? Oh, you think
13:56
on the VROOM ON THE BROOMSTICK. SEE,
13:59
BECAUSE I AM A WITCH. AH. AH. AH. AH.
14:05
AH.
14:14
Did I scare you? No. No. I am not
14:14
scared. Not like when they give us
14:17
underwear for Christmas.
14:25
Now I know that Santa he come to visit
14:25
you on a very special night. Yes. On the
14:28
Christmas Christmas Eve. But do you know
14:32
when Labala come to visit you?
14:35
Ah
14:37
I wait a little while after Christmas. I
14:41
visit you on January the 5th. We call
14:44
this the eve of the epiphany. And would
14:48
you like to know why?
14:51
Okay, everybody say to me, "Oh, why
14:56
loafa?"
14:58
>> Oh, why lava?
15:06
>> I'm so glad you asked. Oh, there are
15:06
many, many ways that my tale is told
15:10
throughout all of Italia, but this is a
15:13
very special story just for you. And it
15:18
begins with sand
15:24
and camels
15:24
and no running water.
15:28
We were very stinky people back then.
15:32
Once upon a time, more than 2,000 years
15:37
ago, Italia was the center of a great
15:41
empire, much, much bigger than she is
15:44
today. And Rome, she stretched all the
15:48
way out to what we now call the Middle
15:50
East. And me, well, I lived in a lonely
15:55
little cottage at the edge of the great
15:57
road where all those caravans of camels
16:00
would pass by. And one day, I am
16:03
sweeping in front of my little cottage
16:06
and a group of travelers approaches me,
16:09
riding up on the camel's backs.
16:13
So exotic, you know. Oh, they are from a
16:16
very far away place. And they look so
16:19
very rich. all dressed up like kings at
16:24
well the men were dressed like kings not
16:28
not the camels but they are so excited
16:31
oh they point and they say one word I
16:35
always remember they say Bethlehem
16:40
have you heard that before
16:42
>> yes it is good to know Bethlehem after
16:45
all the stories but you know way back
16:47
then
16:48
no sir
16:50
I I am sorry. I do not know what
16:52
Bethlehem is.
16:55
Ah,
16:57
the big star up in the sky is there to
17:00
tell us that a great king is born in
17:02
Bethlehem. We follow the star to find
17:06
this young king. Oh, I understand. See,
17:11
Labathana has seen the star. It is why
17:14
the sky is so bright these last few
17:17
nights.
17:19
And I was beginning to be a little bit
17:22
irritated with that star cuz he was
17:25
keeping me up at night. But I am so
17:28
caught in the story to find this young
17:30
king that the travelers they ask me to
17:33
go with them. And for a moment I am
17:38
filled with such a longing to follow the
17:40
stone. And then I think to myself, I
17:44
think I just I what
17:56
fun you crazy camels, stars,
17:56
strange man in the middle of the night.
18:00
Oh no, sir. I I am sorry, but love, she
18:06
cannot come with you.
18:09
So the travelers go to Bethlehem without
18:12
me, but I stand outside in the night for
18:16
a while. I look up at that star and I
18:19
wonder.
18:26
And a few days later, a young shepherd
18:26
comes running into my village. He says
18:28
to me, "Hello,
18:31
how come you go to Bethlehem?
18:35
Everybody is talking about the baby king
18:38
that was born there, born in a poor
18:41
little stable. But the father, everybody
18:46
is saying he is the son of God.
18:51
And just then the night sky opened in
18:55
such a beautiful light, Labella can
18:57
hardly look.
19:00
Oh, it is as if the star of this little
19:04
king bursts into glory.
19:13
And then there is the sound. Oh, the
19:13
sound of the angels singing.
19:21
So [clears throat] many angels like like
19:21
nothing that I had ever heard before.
19:24
And I know I must go to Bethlehem.
19:29
So, I run into my little cottage to find
19:32
a gift to bring to this very special
19:34
bambino. Well, I had seen the fancy
19:36
gifts from the kings. I do not want to
19:38
be empty-handed. Huh? So, I look, oh,
19:43
and I searched, but all that I can find
19:47
are some old scraps of wool.
19:52
But I sew these scraps of wool together
19:57
and I make for the little king a doll.
20:02
He's better than nothing, huh? Oh, I am
20:04
so excited. I will go to Bethlehem.
20:08
I will see this young king AND I RUN
20:13
OUTSIDE TO FOLLOW THE STAR.
20:17
It's gone.
20:19
The beautiful stone is gone.
20:22
Oh, Labafana waited too long. But now,
20:27
what can I follow to find this young
20:29
kid?
20:31
And from that moment, I am searching for
20:35
the Yeshu Bambino, for the Christ child.
20:39
And on the eve of the epiphany, this is
20:42
the day that the wise men come to
20:43
Bethlehem. Then I climb down into the
20:47
chimneys
20:48
and I look into the faces of all the
20:53
children
20:54
and I think to myself,
20:58
what if it is you?
21:00
Oh, what if you are the Christ child?
21:08
And you know when they are sleeping, you
21:11
think it could be so, huh?
21:14
And even though I do not yet find the Yu
21:17
Bambinum, when I look into these
21:21
beautiful faces,
21:23
they remind me of the miracle of that
21:26
star.
21:26
>> Ah, it's so good. I know. I love I'm
21:28
going to leave most of that in. So,
21:30
there's a lot in there without chopping
21:32
it all up cuz I feel like that's just
21:34
that's one of the best ones, man. That's
21:36
just so good. All right, moving on. All
21:39
right, I got to try to make my way over
21:40
to Norway now. Let's see the barn Santa.
21:43
Again, it's very difficult to pick a
21:45
favorite of the storytellers. They're
21:47
just all they're all just so good and I
21:49
kind of like them all in their own way.
21:52
But I love the barn Santa. I love
21:54
Labafana and I love barn Santa. Oh, this
21:56
is interesting.
21:58
For the last few years, barn Santa has
22:00
performed right here, but now they made
22:02
it a stroller area. Barn Santa is now
22:05
over here
22:07
>> between Norway and the Mexico pavilion.
22:11
>> Oh, I never seen him barn Santa perform
22:14
over here. Tell the stories.
22:16
>> That's right. We like to celebrate with
22:18
a party. We like to party. We like to
22:21
party. We like your de.
22:25
>> Oh, [laughter]
22:27
celebration. Woo! I partied my name tag
22:29
off. Let me get that back on there. Yes.
22:33
And our biggest celebration is on
22:36
Christmas
22:38
Eve.
22:44
Okay.
22:44
What?
22:53
In the middle of the day, about 12:00 or
22:54
so, everything closes up early. The
22:56
chapel bells ring and everyone returns
22:59
home to their families for the big
23:01
celebration. In the evening, it's lights
23:05
out.
23:21
>> [laughter]
23:21
>> As the entire house is illuminated only
23:23
by the soft glow of candle lights at
23:25
their big big feast, everyone is so
23:27
excited, especially the children because
23:29
they know the Christmas tree is in the
23:32
next room. The adults do all the
23:34
decorating and the children are not
23:36
allowed to see it until mama. Mama, is
23:40
the tree ready? Why the tree is ready?
23:45
Would you like to come see?
23:57
>> Oh, mama. It's beautiful.
23:57
Go.
24:04
So, um, the rest of the evening is spent
24:04
exchanging gifts and singing Christmas
24:06
carols around the tree until very late
24:08
at night.
24:09
>> Get treats, too. And in exchange, I look
24:11
after their crops for the year. The kids
24:13
leave me
24:15
Yoink. And the kids leave me a great big
24:16
bowl of rice porridge with cinnamon and
24:19
sugar and a little pad of butter right
24:20
on top. And you know what I do? I mix
24:22
it. I mix it. I melt up the butter. Then
24:24
I scoop it and I
24:31
know what you're thinking. That may not
24:31
seem like much of a treat to you, but
24:33
believe me, when the kitties leave me
24:35
that steaming hot bowl of rice porridge
24:36
up in Haloft, it sure does warm me up on
24:38
a cold winter's night. It's high in
24:41
fiber, too.
24:50
>> No.
24:50
Now you'll never guess if we leave our
24:52
barn Santa. You can go ahead and try. I
24:54
know he wants to get to try. What do we
24:55
leave him?
24:57
>> No. Yes.
25:00
A bowl of rice porridge. And maybe it's
25:03
time to fail. Um, but how did you know
25:05
who told all of you?
25:09
>> The witch.
25:09
>> The barn Santa lady. I've been telling
25:12
you this entire time just like I told my
25:14
best friend Martha. HE DOES NOT EXIST.
25:17
IT'S YOU. It's me. Your hat. HIS SANTA.
25:22
>> Have you always been there?
25:24
>> Secret. I've been here the whole time.
25:25
>> When we opened our presents on Christmas
25:27
>> I was there too.
25:28
>> And when the whole family woke up early
25:29
on Christmas day.
25:30
>> And when Marta saw you, but I didn't.
25:33
>> I was there for all of it. Even
25:35
>> so. Marta was right.
25:38
Feels n I have always wanted to believe
25:41
in you and now thanks to all of you I
25:43
CAN SAY H TO THANK you
25:48
may I hug you
25:57
>> indeed that's more like it will kiss me
25:57
>> looks like we made a believer out of
25:59
lovely cigree after all and and I'll
26:00
tell you what because of that I hereby
26:03

26:06
makers for the rest of the
26:07
Give yourself a round of applause.
26:10
>> I'm so jealous.
26:11
>> Well, it's almost time for me to get
26:12
back up to the hay loft. I got to get
26:14
ready for the big day. But but before I
26:16
go, kids, friends, remember,
26:19
uphold the values of Christmas,
26:22
be kind, spread joy, and cheer, and be
26:26
good to your barn Santa throughout the
26:28
new year.
26:32
>> Thank you so much to catch up.
26:34
>> A nice time to catch up. I feel
26:36
>> the lion has come to represent courage,
26:38
stability and triumph. A kind of
26:41
reassurance and symbol of aspiration for
26:44
the people
26:47
to prevent negativity. Bringing good
26:49
luck and fortune to the community.
26:53
Please enjoy this special presentation
26:56
of the Chinese lion dance.
27:08
Wow.
27:27
>> I think
28:03
The curious lion explores the
28:03
surroundings. [music]
28:43
>> [music]
28:43
>> Say hi.
28:53
>> Oh yeah.
28:54
>> Now the hungry llama is lucky food and
28:57
[applause] will spread good fortune to
28:58
all.
29:31
>> All right. Right now I'm backtracking
29:31
all the way back around to the UK
29:32
pavilion to see Father Christmas.
29:39
Got to go forward to go back. Got to go
29:39
back to go forward. The way the times
29:40
are set up. [music]
29:58
All
30:09
>> right. Should be about time for Father
30:09
Christmas to appear. We're here in the
30:11
UK.
30:30
Turn the music off, which means
30:30
something's about to happen.
30:38
>> Here we come.
30:48
You
30:48
>> allow me to introduce myself. There were
30:51
some that call me Santa Claus. Yes. But
30:53
here in the United Kingdom, I am known
30:56
as Father Christmas. Yes. And we are
30:59
gathered today to tow the devil's nail.
31:02
Simply meant we ring a bell for every
31:04
year since the birth of Christ. Pardon
31:08
63
31:10

31:12
What year is this?
31:15
>> 2025.
31:17
>> For real. Seriously.
31:21
>> 2024.
31:24
At any rate, I've been around for many
31:25
years bringing holiday joy to the good
31:27
children across the land. You received
31:29
cards and letters from many of you. All
31:30
from you, my friend. Oh, from you, my
31:33
friend. Well, you you're really
31:36
expecting a lot this year, aren't you?
31:38
Good luck. And that Christmas Carol
31:41
along with many of the traditions we
31:42
celebrate originated right here in the
31:44
United Kingdom. Not uncommon to find a
31:47
crowd such as yourselves gathered in the
31:49
>> I don't know, Conor. Really? Oh, yes.
31:51
>> Connor, you and your brother haven't had
31:54
any fights. [laughter]
32:00
>> No, you clean your room when your mother
32:00
asks.
32:06
>> Hana, you're so burned right now.
32:08
>> But I believe you want to be good. So,
32:09
I'm going to ask you to ring these
32:10
bells. All right, come a little closer
32:11
here. Another tradition that took off.
32:13
First Christmas card sent in England,
32:15
1843. Our local book sought made 1,000
32:19
lithograph copies sold for a shilling a
32:21
piece. The rest, as they say, is
32:23
history.
32:24
>> A happy new year
32:43
>> Yes. Yes. Excellent.
32:43
Welcome to the Japan pub and our
32:45
celebration of the traditional Japanese
32:48
new year called
32:51
the holidays.
32:53
>> Good last Christmas, Hanukkah, New
32:56
Year's.
32:58
And today I appear before you as a
33:00
humble street vendor. But what I tell is
33:04
a very important part of OATS.
33:08
And here it is. It's called a Dharma
33:13
doll. It's not a handsome donkey.
33:21
Dharma is like a good luck charm. As you
33:21
can see, Dharma has no food in his eyes.
33:24
The customer want Japanese.
33:26
>> Over inside the land pavilion, we're
33:27
going to eat at Garden Grill. And then
33:29
after Garden Grill, we're going to make
33:31
our way back to World Showcase and we're
33:32
going to see the candle light
33:34
processional. There's no food chef.
33:42
>> Summon the chef. Is Mickey back there
33:42
cooking everything?
33:44
>> Who's the chef?
33:45
>> You're the That's why the food's not
33:47

33:54
>> We're just waiting on our food here.
33:54
It'll be here soon. What's your favorite
33:56
item on the menu?
33:57
>> Mac and cheese
33:59
>> with the goldfish. The little goldfish.
34:03
>> The idea was the goldfish. We got to get
34:05
this straight.
34:05
>> Everything is chip.
34:07
>> All right. All right.
34:08
>> Gale didn't come up with any ideas. No.
34:11
>> Oh, it's Pluto.
34:13
>> Hello again.
34:15
>> I remember you from last time.
34:18
>> You remember us?
34:19
>> We're here all the time. It's like our
34:21
new favorite spot.
34:23
>> It was good.
34:24
>> Very full.
34:25
>> Dessert time.
34:27
>> Oh, there goes the Montreal. Heading to
34:30
World Showcase again. All right.
34:32
Definitely filling up through World
34:34
Showcase now. Getting a little busier.
34:38
All right. We got our sticker for the
34:39
candle light processional
34:42
seating dining package seating which we
34:46
were not the only ones with that idea.
34:47
This is this is the line the dining
34:51
package
34:52
line. This is all dining package folks.
34:56
I think the entire theater is going to
34:58
be just dining package people.
35:20
stage this evening. Special guest
35:20
narrator for the Epcot Candlelight
35:23
Processional, Gary Senise.
35:35
Good evening.
35:35
Everybody good? Good. All right.
35:39
Walt Disney began the tradition of the
35:42
candlelight processional at Disneyland
35:44
more than 65 years ago in 1958.
35:49
In the time since, literally millions of
35:51
guests have enjoyed the Christmas story,
35:54
the traditional carols, and especially
35:57
the glorious music of the holiday
35:58
season. To continue this marvelous
36:01
heritage, I invite you to sit back and
36:04
enjoy this marvelous, magnificent
36:06
orchestra right here.
36:15
These awesome singers.
36:26
In the sixth month,
36:26
the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a
36:30
city of Galilee named Nazareth,
36:33
to a virgin who was betrothed to a man
36:36
whose name was Joseph of the house of
36:39
David. [clears throat]
36:41
And the virgin's name was Mary.
36:44
And he came to her and said, [music]
36:47
"Greetings, O favored one. The Lord is
36:51
with you.
36:52
But she was greatly troubled at the
36:54
saying and tried to discern what sort of
36:57
greeting this might be. And the angel
37:01
said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary,
37:05
for you have found favor with God.
37:33
>> And it came to pass
37:33
in those days a decree went out from
37:36
Caesar Augustus.
38:00
>> When the angels went away from them into
38:00
heaven, the shepherds said one to
38:03
another, "Let us go over to Bethlehem
38:06
and see this thing that has happened
38:08
which the Lord has made known to us.
38:29
Heat. Heat.
39:15
And that's going to do it for today from
39:15
Epcot Festival of the Holidays.
39:18
That was awesome.
39:20
Thanks for watching. I'll see you in the
