We've shared many videos with you this year of Disney's winter celebrations, but Epcot's Candlelight Processional is a can't miss tradition of the Holiday Season for many a Disney fan. First performed in Disneyland in 1958 the Processional first made its way to the Walt Disney World Resort in 1971. It found its current home at the American Gardens Theatre in Epcot in 1994.

Grab a Quick Bite to Eat at the Liberty Inn at Epcot’s American Adventure Pavilion

If you're looking for all-American food when you're touring Epcot (it happens, we understand), look no further than the Liberty Inn Publick Dining Room in the American Adventure pavilion.

This often-overlooked quick service location is a great spot for families with "picky eaters" or when you find yourself in need of a quick bite halfway around World Showcase.

Given the hundreds of musicians who pile onstage at Epcot's American Gardens Theater to help the guest narrator to bring the story of the first Christmas to life, it is amazing that there was not a single sour note during the performance.

Celebrate Holiday Traditions from Around the World at Epcot

The holiday season at the Walt Disney World Resort is an extra magical time of year, and one of our favorite places to celebrate is Epcot.

Sure, the Magic Kingdom has a sparkly castle and snow flurries on Main Street, but there's no place like Epcot to celebrate holiday traditions from around the world with food, decorations, and even storytelling.

The American Adventure – A Slice of Americana in the Middle of World Showcase

Perhaps you're guilty of this too - often as I'm strolling through World Showcase and come upon The American Adventure Pavilion I just keep walking. Sure, sometimes I stop for a funnel cake, but for the most part I just walk on by.

This is not the best touring plan for the World Showcase. The American Adventure Pavilion has quite a bit to offer tourists, regardless of your home country.
