Welcome to Epcot!As you can see, some of the holiday decor has made its way to the park.
We had some overcast skies that led to some interesting photos this weekend.Captain EO leaves us very soon to make way for a Disney/Pixar Short Film Clip Show, so make sure to see it if you can!Reverse fountain wasn’t reversing when we visited.This seating area from Food and Wine has stuck around, probably to help absorb holiday and New Year’s Eve crowds.The pathway from the Imagination area to World Showcase is currently closed.More holiday decorations!
The icon tree has also arrived at the park.
Mexico all spruced up for the season.
Yes, someone did recently climb the pyramid at the Mexico pavilion, so this sign is now here. All it takes is one idiot . . .

Scrims are up to install the marquee for Frozen Ever After. It shouldn’t be too much longer now folks. This attraction should open early next year.Holidays Around the World stage in Norway.Coming soon!

This trellis hosts the Hannukah and Kwanzaa portions of Holidays Around the World.
America’s tree is in place.Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus will be greeting at the American Pavilion soon!America’s tree has fruit ornaments.There is a new exhibit at the Japan pavilion dedicated to Japan’s ‘cute culture’.
It is a pretty cool little display that is worth checking out. Probably the most EPCOT thing Epcot has done lately.Holiday decorations are out in the France pavilion.
I love the peppermints on the light posts.Decor in the UK.
Overhang from Food and Wine. At this point, the rains came, but there wasn’t much more to cover, so we quickly headed out of the park!
