 Hey friends good morning or afternoon from a very festive Epcot. We're doing Epcot today I'm so excited. There's so many things. I want to show my mom, but most importantly I want my mom to ride soren So let's go do this Festival the holidays have kicked off and it's my first time actually being here during the festival Because the last time I actually was here was for that media event for the festival the holidays But it officially didn't start then so now I get to see it in full bloom Look at that monorail and the new Epcot logo. Wow Epcot monorail spaceship Earth. I Apologize for the lack of intros and b-rolls. I usually spend a lot of time actually doing those But since this is kind of like a vacation for me. I want to spend that time with my family I don't want to be off going getting the beautiful shots and stuff like that So that's why I decided to do the vlogs without them even though some of them I might put in there because I really love making them They're my favorite part. It seems so quiet here at Epcot today Honestly, oh I can hear Christmas music playing that gets me excited. I think we're gonna go right on over to the land We're gonna definitely knock out living with the land and Soren I'm so excited because I feel like if my mom likes soren and she thinks it's a good ride Then I think she's gonna like flight of passage So that's why I decided to do soren before flight of passage kind of as a judge, you know I mean if you don't like soren you're not gonna like flight of passage This is a surprise. I have never seen just random character meet and greets out here, but Cinderella and Prince Charming are actually meeting right here. I have never seen that before First ride of the day living with the land Right this way come on There you go You excited to ride this Do you even know what it is? No, but you're excited. All right. Oh, we're off to a bumpy start Just I'll let you know when the ride drops down and we go down the big drop You might get splashed One day mom I want to live in that house I just want to live here Look at those lights Look at that dragon fruit plant, you know, you don't see those often Oh Look at that in the back you can see they have sea grape and a water lily right up here Kid and Mickey Look at that cotton reef that's really pretty Oh, I'm liking that they have Christmas music in here. Let's look at that pepper reef Look at those Mickey shape pumpkins down there That's awesome I was skeptical about living with the land and the holiday overlay during the day, but this is pretty bright in here It's still enjoyable Probably a lot better at night though. Did you like it? Yeah, I knew you would I knew you would now it's time that we actually get on soren And I'm gonna make sure we get the best seat available because you know how I like it There's a certain way there's some different ways people like to enjoy soren, but I'll show you how I like to ride soren my way This is my favorite ride when I first rode soren I literally got goosebumps And ever since then I've just been so like addicted to Disney and Attractions and everything It started with soren for me I've seen this happen so many times But you know how some people like to actually like lean up against these chain things and like have it hold you Do not do it here because these are magnets and it will fall and I see people actually hit the ground I always like going to the newest theater, which is concourse C. I Mean the theater doesn't make much of a difference. I just like newer things You know, I mean the screens the newest the walls are the newest This is all brand new about I think three years ago And I like to do Be because it's right in the middle and it's perfect for me and then we do row one the perfect experience You don't have to put the loop on because you don't measure up to the height indicator You ready here we go we're soren Coming it's coming We are ready for takeoff So happy good good Soren's got a new fan. Yep. It's good, right? Oh Yeah From soren to figment my mom's gonna like this one a lot bonbon likes this one a lot You like figment, don't you? Nobody ever sitting in here. Why I think this should be like a universal lounge area I'd love to just come in here take a seat. I'll even be a receptionist if you need it. I don't mind Look at that. It's like a figment phone. I Love this ride because all of the different senses like I love this smell lab The only thing I don't like is the tickle lab. I don't like how they touch you One thing that I'm really worried about is when we get to the smell lab mom I really hope that we get something nice like roses. I pray we don't get the skunk Yeah, when you get to the touch lab, they only touch in the middle Like whoever's sitting in the middle Okay, it's a smell lab I want vanilla vanilla or chocolate or cookies cinnamon No skunk Oh Now we are actually gonna go on into the chase photo spot and see what characters they got in here It's been a while that I've been here, but usually it's either Mickey and Goofy or Minnie and Pluto That's exciting to see The walls are so pretty in here and the lighting changes colors. I like that a lot And how about that wall? It's a monorail going uphill. That's awesome. Isn't it? You lead the way Hello, hello, oh Good sir, how are you? Thank you Oh, yeah, I'll go over for a photo See you guys. Thank you. Have a great day And there it is my first look at Epcot's Christmas tree. This wasn't up last time I was here, so it's very nice to see it. It is beautiful. I love the ornaments Just such a beautiful tree. I love it Since we are over a world showcase I think we're gonna partake in the holiday cookies roll and actually Fill up on some cookies you go around to each booth get a cookie and at the end of it You actually get the Santa Mickey sugar cookie. Mmm. I'm excited and our first stop is gonna be The Feast of the Three Kings and they have the chocolate crinkle cookie and guess what it's only $2.50. That's not a bad deal The first cookie is the chocolate crinkle cookie. Oh Yeah, looks like it's good A lot of powdered sugar. Is that powdered sugar? One of my favorite things about festival the holidays is the live entertainment and we're gonna show you my favorite Live entertainment for the festival the holidays right here in the Norway Pavilion Right here in Norway the story of Christmas told by Jules Nissen He's my favorite My name is Sigri and I'm so excited today to tell you about Christmases in Norway In fact, here is a bit of a Christmas Carol sung by children of all ages the mouse song or Mussevisa When nights are getting longer and like so freeze with ice mother mouse once wrongly about a foul device We must avoid the mouse trap, but there is not to fear. We'll all be celebrating at Christmas time this year Have to tell you I have lived on a farm my whole life and in all my Christmas is I have never seen him So all this talk about a barn Santa is neither here nor there for we all know that these mischief makers do not exist Except in stories and fairy tales. So all this talk about the barn Santa is neither here nor there We all know these mischief makers do not exist unless they do exist and are therefore very clever and mischievous indeed Dramatic pause to properly introduce myself. I am the legendary barn Santa So I don't exist Well, you all see me, right? Okay, well, let's say a nice And it would be a good year, but every Christmas has been the same Sigri here doesn't see me because she doesn't believe that I exist even when I do this She still doesn't see me Say you all wouldn't mind if I take the liberty to use a magic and mischief to help Sigri with her story. Who knows? Maybe this time she just might believe A little bit of cinnamon and sugar and a nice little pat of butter right on the top Okay, yeah, well, maybe it doesn't sound like such a treat to all of you But believe me when the kiddies leave me a nice steam and bowl of porridge in the hay loft It warms me right up on a cold winter's night, and it's a what's high in fiber, too You will Right Well, now, you know all about the holidays on Norway's farm Sorry to burst your bubble about the whole known thing. He does not exist. He does it You listen the barn Santa is my absolute favorite Santa he is so funny It kind of reminds me of Dwight's Santa from the office you guys ever see that episode of Dwight. I love it I love it so much Now we are here in Germany for our next cookie spot, and it's going to be a linser cookie These are my mom's favorite cookies actually. I Don't know if I can convince my mom that you're actually supposed to eat food on the garbage cans at Epcot It's literally the table of food and wine festival the holidays flower and garden But here are the linser cookies. Look at those. They look really good. Oh We actually stopped because the candlelight processional is starting to come up at 645 and it is booked It is already full and even the eight o'clock is full the line is wrapped down all the way back almost to Germany So we were walking by and we found this little nifty spot Right outside the yellow walkways, so we'll have a good spot to see whoopee and the whole entire orchestra While we wait for that we might as well head on over to the American adventure and get our next cookie for the cookie stroll And check out the second Christmas tree at Epcot. That's right. They have two Epcot has two Christmas trees There's the second tree now. Would you look at that? Right outside the American adventure and holy moly. Look at the line. Oh wait, that's the line to meet Santa Oh, we're good. We just want some gingerbread men Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus are looking fantastic And there it is our next cookie the gingerbread man from the American Pavilion. Look at them. It looks very nice Can I have a leg please? One leg coming up One leg coming up. Thank you. It is really filling in here honestly The theater itself is full and then look at all the people on the outside of the theater all lined up just looking in Whoopee Goldberg draws a big crowd probably not as much as Neil Patrick Harris he probably draws the biggest crowd either that Pat St. Jack or Ward Davis But she was greatly troubled at the same and trying to discern What sort of greeting this might mean The candlelight processional is absolutely beautiful people wait hours and hours just to get good seats there Even if you get a dining package You still need to wait hours ahead of time just to get the good seats And it's worth it if you really want to see that show And our next cookie is the black and white and it's a hundred percent plant-based Mom's taking photos Instagram, what are you gonna hashtag that? What's your hashtag? Well the plant-based cookie Boy I like it a lot I remember I really did like it We decided to stop over in the United Kingdom Because they have the tinkerbell lantern photo opportunity, and I feel like that's a really cool one to actually get done Look at that. It's not a great photo opportunity. This just started a couple of weeks ago It's you didn't it or has it been a while? I like that I Thought it would make a good mother and daughter photo opportunity. Look at that. It is very nice, isn't it? There it is. That's the last cookie we have to purchase before you get a free cookie, right? The peppermint cookie here at the Canadian Pavilion. It looks good. Oh boy. I Think the peppermint cookie is my favorite. I'm gonna say it. I love it. I love peppermint though Complete look at that. Oh you did it And you get some milk with that. Ah Very nice.
