Trip log:
Started off the brisk morning taking a stroll over to Epcot and enjoying the tranquil World Showcase. Eventually made my way to Future World and hung around the Fountain of Nations for a while. Then walked over to the Land and onto the Listen to the Land boat tour. Followed that up with Journey into Imagination with Figment. Then headed back to World Showcase. First stop Mexico and the Gran Fiesta Tour. Mariachis and Dancers for the Holidays Around the World performance. After they concluded walked along the World Showcase lagoon to the American Adventure. Grabbed a quick lunch at the Liberty Inn and then enjoyed the 12:30 Voices of Liberty performance. Circled back to Italy for Sbandieratori Di Sansepolcro (the flag throwers). Then to China for the Dragon Dancers. Made my way around to the United Kingdom and caught a song from the Paul McKenna Band before returning to the Beach Club to meet some friends and head to Downtown Disney. Walked through the Marketplace and took a look at the Co-Op and Disney Springs construction. Walked through the former Pleasure Island and out to the West Side. I circled all the way out to the far end then back along the water. Paid a visit to the new parking structure then walked back to the bus stop and caught a bus to the Contemporary. Walked to the Magic Kingdom and strolled down Main Street USA. Walked through Cosmic Rays and then Tomorrowland. Circled back to the hub and found a spot for the Frozen Holiday Wish. After the show walked by the Harbour House deciding it was too busy to eat there I continued on through Frontierland to Pecos Bills. Nothing looked interesting so tried the Golden Oak stand, again nothing.. so ended up back at Cosmic Rays. Then returned to Frontierland for the Country Bears. Walked along the Rivers of America and back through Liberty Square to Fantasyland. Along the way stopped at the new Haunted Mansion store. Then circled the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train (70 min wait posted) and returned to the Harbour House to meet some friends. Walked the parade route and found a spot in Town Square for the Main Street Electrical Parade. After the parade made my way to the hub for Celebrate the Magic. As Wishes started I worked my way toward the exit arriving at the bus stop as the finale was going off. Took a bus back to the Beach Club to call it a night.
