Candlelights

During this glorious time of year it’s become an E82 annual tradition to celebrate Epcot’s “grand finale” of seasonal events – Epcot Holidays Around the World is arguably the most meaningful of all events in the history of themed entertainment.

The LIGHTS OF WINTER Full Show Mix

Special Note:

As it turns out, “Ding Dong Merrily/O Holy Night” isn’t the only cue unaccounted for, there’s also a “Show Reset” (or Intermission as I’ve titled it :) that I believe could be a version of “The Holly and the Ivy”. If anyone has any information about this track I’d love to hear it.
