Christmas at Epcot

While we’ve enjoyed Disney at Halloween and springtime, we’ve never experienced it at Christmas. To rectify that, we had a fast-and-furious two days at the parks making most of the festive season. Our first stop was Epcot, where we took in the Festival of the Holidays, including special treats and the Candlelight Processional narrated by…
