Reminder: never go to a theme park on Dec. 31st (Yes, we did it)


Even though i originally stated that we would not visit any park, our curiosity was way too big, and also other members of my family was available to visit, so we decided to go to Epcot. NEVER AGAIN. That's all I can say. We wanted to leave at 7.30 because we don't celebrate, but we got divided, so we continued to look for each other until 12 MIDNIGHT!!! There were way too many people, but I was fully aware of that. The thing was that we were unprepared. And that's really bad, especially because we are NOT tourists!! Oh, well...

Anyway, there were interesting things we saw:



Yes, they used the whole parking lot (which is the biggest in the U.S. after the one in... Try to guess! (Answer below):


.. Epcot's parking lot is the biggest after the one in Minnesota (Mall of America).
Anyway, they even let people park on the grass!!:



Here I got really, really scared...


It didn't look THAT bad when we first entered:


Yet, it was:


60 (SIXTY) minutes to wait for Spaceship Earth, one of the rides with the highest capacity!!!:



As Martin Short would say: "Na-ah... This, this is not good". At all:


The wait times at around 2 p.m.:





Finally this place proves to be useful:


A nice, temporary stage in front of the Fountain of Nations:


People were allowed to go on the grass (that's bad, in my opinion), so they had to put these railings:






There were many additional baths around World Showcase:





This is new:




A temporary restaurant  was set up inside World Showplace:



The Menu (!!!):




These have to be the longest bathrooms I've ever seen (sorry, no interior photos):



More and more people!:










Italy's stage:



And now, ladies and gentlemen, an exclusive view of the backstage!:


Sorry for the blurry pictures, but I had to hurry:





This Viking ship really went the wrong way:





Look at this!!! They still have the original sign of Test Track!!:




Here, they bring the cars to fix them:




Even at night... :


Thanks for viewing, and remember: NEVER go to a theme park on the 31st!!
