LizardCop and Jan\'s WDW Christmas COMPLETED 2/11

This is part 3 of this trip report. If you're just starting this journey, here is the beginning of the trip... Part 2 is here...

[b] Day 7, 12/23/2004.....

This is our last full day at WDW. Once again, we let Jan sleep in and I wandered around Pop Century some more, this time out front…






Here are the “year” towers out front. The 70’s tower is missing, according to a CM a casualty of one the hurricanes…


And, of course, the bus stands…


A wreath inside the main entrance…


One of the Christmas Trees inside the main entrance…


Photos on the walls…


The Lobby…







As you can tell by the pictures, it was overcast with rain forecasted…Wakeup temp was 64F and the high was forecasted to be around 73F.

We headed for MK first, getting on the bus around 11:15AM.

Food first, off to Pinnochio Village Haus for lunch… 2 Turkey Sandwiches w/chips and 2 large bottled water came to $19.53.

Then some more wandering. Peter Pan had a 55 minute wait, according to the sign, but the line looked more like an hour and fifteen minutes. Needless to say, we weren't going to ride this one on this trip…


The old Skyway Station…



Another ride on Haunted Mansion….

Then more wandering…


Liberty Square


Crystal Palace on the left…


The Christmas Tree at MK



We stopped in to a number of the shops and bought various Christmas ornaments for family and friends. We finally made it back to the front and got on the monorail to head to EPCOT…

NEXT: EPCOT for the rest of the day!!!

Yaaaaay, Pop Century photos! The '70s were still down when we were there a month later. Hope you have fun at Epcot!

[b] EPCOT for the rest of the day!!!

We headed out to the monorail and hopped over to EPCOT. Here’s one picture of many taken, about the only one that came out okay. It was overcast and not very conducive to good picture taking while traveling on the monorail…


The Christmas Tree in the Showcase Plaza, EPCOT

We decided to get a fastpass for TT (pickup time was 1:23 and return time was 6:45-7:45PM) and walked around the world showcase.

We got some hot chocolate in Mexico and continued around to the left…

The Church in Norway, I was sitting on a bench, drinking my hot chocolate and playing with the zoom on my camera…






The grass growing on the roof in Norway, just like it does in that country…

The grass growing on the roof in Norway, just like it does in that country…

What you looking at??? From the little bridge between China and the Outpost…


Christmas Decorations in Germany…..








Christmas Decorations in Italy






The Christmas Tree at The American Adventure


The Fife and Drum Corps at The American Adventure


Japan






Morroco








Mexico from across the lagoon…


France…


Norway and China from across the lagoon…


The waters Edge near Japan…


NEXT: Off Kilter… and more EPCOT…

As always love your pics, but that one in France with the flowers in the foreground is just awesome!

Looking forward to more.

Awwww...your photos took me right there. Thanks for the duck photo, too. We scarcely walk past a single duck without pointing him/her/them out. Love the across-the-lagoon shots, too! Looking forward to Off Kilter.
