I still want an updated version of the GOOD version of journey into imagination, but for some reason that sweater warms my heart 💜🧡
I also performed for candlelight 04-08 it was amazing! Except for the poor girl who passed out infront of me. Those songs are forever stuck with you.
Way back in maybe 1996 or 97 they used to have a double decker bus filled with Disney characters come to the area near the tree. They would get off the bus and meet and greet guests. My daughter was about 6 then and she bought a giant pen and autograph book. She got about a dozen autographs from the characters. They even had some goofy looking reindeer that were very engaging. Ah good times.
I’m so sad that I never got to see these cultural storytellers!
I performed in Candlelight Processional every year since 2004. It is the one thing I have missed the most because of the pandemic.
SANDRA!?
I was in the Candlelight Processional in 2018. It was very fun! My school’s choir got to perform there and it was something I’ll never forget
Epcot was at its peak during my era
Oh man I love me some Epcot stuff around the Christmas time! I love seen the candlelight progression, and what I know and be called was "Santas around the world." They're wonderful and fun to see and learn what each country does around the holidays ^^ And now seeing figment in an adorable ugly sweater! oh my goodness! he looks adorable!
Park Ride History updates make my day ❤️
The magical Swedish/Norweigen barn-gnomes are called "tomtes", BTW.
I performed as part of the Candlelight Procession in 2006! An experience that was out of this world!
6:19 "Obsolete" is disney-speak for "we're too cheap to keep up with modern technology but we get to rest on our laurels because we're disney."
7:38, look how cool that looks, the fountain in front of the archway in front of the tree.... i miss old epcot, i never got to experience the lights of winter or the osbourne lights
Thanks for these great videos, they are certainly stoking exciment to when things return to normal.
i just went to disneyworld for the first time last december, and honestly this made me miss it so much. had a weird epcot experience bc there was so much construction, but i'll be damned if it didnt look beautiful at night
If you feel so inclined to keep this series going.... perhaps covering the various meet and greet characters. Ya know, the creepy ones from opening day, those troll things from Norway. Quality nightmare fodder!
Mmmm, those Linzer cookies from the cookie stroll look good.
I kid you not jack, I said "sweater" very sarcastically at the same moment you said it XD it scared me a little.
I need that Figment sweater. Before you even said it could be merch, I needed it to be merch.
Bring back lights of winter!
Now I know to go to Epcot during the holidays because I've never been and was thinking about going this summer. After watching this, I think I'll skip the summer trip and head over in December
THE HOLIDAYS ARE HERE!!!!!!!!
Merry Christmas park ride history also great video 👍
Figment's ugly Christmas sweater is my EVERYTHING now! If there's a plush toy of it, I want twelve of them!
That being said, it'd be amazing if next year they decorated his upside-down home for Christmas. A tree in the living room, some turkey and fruitcake in the kitchen, maybe he could even have the clip of himself and Dreamfinder from the 1984 parade playing on the TV, how freak'n cool would that be?
A new Keep Epcot Weird? Christmas came early!
Great video. Saw someone wearing Keep Epcot Weird shirt at Epcot last wk. Wish you would continue/update this series

Christmas in Disney in the 90's was a Truly Magical Time..
I want that Figment sweater very badly
Christmastime is always the best time
Always amazing videos. Impeccably researched.
KEEP IT WEIRD!
sing...SING!
Watching in may🤠
How i miss the old Epcot Center from the 80’s! Now (even with the future plans) is a theming mess.
I love the different versions of Santa at the World Showcase. The Norwegian one is my favorite, he's hilarious and stands out the most.
In Sweden, they are called "Tomtes", and if you ever want to see a more interactive version of that, (when there isn't a pandemic) come on over to Lindsborg, KS!
I've wanted to return to EPCOT for a second visit following it's renewal once I've saved up the money to do so, now I know I'll DEFINITELY make sure it's during December so I can check out all the holiday stuff, I gotta see that candlelight processional. And it really is a HOLIDAY celebration, not just Christmas and they're too scared of offending people to simply refer to it as a Christmas event. Super cool to see all these other cultures' winter holidays and traditions actually represented and celebrated, since in the west it's like 95% Christmas, 4% Hanukkah, and then 1% who don't celebrate either.
I did the candlelight processional in 2016 (I still have the ears I got for it) apparently some poor girl from my school had another girl throw up on her
Wonderful video. I was there once in 03 for the holidays and it was nicer than thr magic Kingdom with the reduced crowd
This literally gave me the joy to keep living
Thanks I love it!
Been watching all your videos. Ever think of tackling the history of runDisney? Feeling nostalgic sitting at home instead of running this year.
Now on my list for Santa: Figment's ugly Christmas sweater.
i was hoping you would talk about the Candlelight processional i was in it durin high school so much fun and we had someone from high school musical
We should really sell Figment's sweater
Osbourne lights next year? XD
Patrick Bateman!
“Hey Hamilton, have a holly jolly Christmas...”
Do know what I think they should do with the phantom manor
Is that an Aperture Science (Portal) Christmas sweater Figment is wearing?
ah the Candlelight Processional!! I went with my school last year, performing at Disney was literally one of the best things. our speaker was Geena Davis!
Suggestion for a video Sponsor vip areas
The candle light carolers where Cast Members who offered up to sing on there own time. They weren't payed it was all volunteer.

Who cares if tech is old If people like it?
Welcome to being an EPCOT fan, pull up a chair and pick a favorite dead attraction
Norwegian, sorry.
Disney never gets the Trans siberian orchestra to preform
