Disney World - Ft Wilderness and Candlelight Processional at Epcot

It was a beautiful day at Disney World. It warmed up, and the sun was shining. Mandy had a rough night with a sick stomach and spent a good part of the day in bed. Bill and I did chores around the RV. We had a light lunch and took a ride on our bikes around the campground. Mandy rallied, and we all took off for Epcot at 4pm. We had dinner reservations at the Rose and Crown as part of the Candlelight Processional package.

We hadn’t eaten dinner here before, so it was a treat. Mandy didn’t eat much, but Bill had a fruit and cheese plate as an appetizer. I had Samosas that were really good. Bill had steak and fish for his entrĂ©e, and I had pork tenderloin with a tamarind sauce. Both were pretty good. Dessert came with the dinner. Bill had a Bailey’s Irish Cream trifle, and I had a sticky toffee pudding which was excellent. After dinner, we found Mandy a spot to rest while Bill went to smoke his cigar, and I went shopping. I did find some cute books for some of the kids for Christmas.

Everyone started lining up for the Candlelight Processional program which was held in the big outdoor theater in front of the American Pavilion. This program has a full orchestra, a choir with at least 200 singers, and a celebrity reader. Tonight’s reader was Neil Patrick Harris (Doogie Howser). The show combines classic Christmas carols with a reading of the Christmas story interspersed with he songs. It was really quite good and moving. We all really enjoyed it, and it was a nice part of our Disney Christmas.
