No matter how many times you visit EPCOT, for me, seeing it at night is a whole new experience. Disney does such a great job changing the atmosphere from the day light hours to the night time hours. During the day, everything is visible, everything is bright and cheery, but at night things become cozier, more romantic, more exotic, more exciting.

Each puppet is controlled by human puppeteers, dressed to blend with their characters. In fact, I will bet by the end of the show, you don’t even realize they are separate from the puppets – they become as one! Read more
