11/23/00 - Thanksgiving at Epcot Holy tons o' PICTURES, Batman! Thanksgiving at Epcot was awesome (Thanks Dad!) We started out the day late morning by hitting Mexico for lunch, very tasty! Then we visited some of the attractions, and had dinner at Le Cellier Steakhouse in Canada, very tasty too! Dad had special VIP tickets to a private viewing deck where we snacked on desserts and drinks and got a prime spot for the parade and fireworks. It was really cool, and as you can tell, we were well fed! What a cool way to spend Thanksgiving - Thanks again Dad!
Welcome to Epcot, with your hosts for the day, Char & Tara.	65' and mostly sunny on Thanksgiving? We can diggit!	Welcome to Mexico! We are your hosts, Padro, La Quinta, and Pablo.
Cool shot of the inside of Mexico at Epcot.	Another cool shot in Mexico.	Here's the crew, done with lunch, ready to rock!
Next we rode the Maelstrom in Norway!	The Maelstrom came highly recommended from Adam & Kate, who had been on it before.	"Time for Spaceship Earth" Adam & Char say!
A little later in the evening, it's dinner time at the Le Cellier Steakhouse in Canada.	A shot into downtown Canada.	The view of Canada from a far.
In the steakhouse, its Dad...	Kim... (lookin' serious ;)	Adam...
Tara Beth...	Char & Tara...	and Kate & Char!
What a cool place...	It felt like we were in a castle!	Time for the parade, it got cold quick (lower 50's :).
A view from the VIP deck...	Interesting light effect, eh?	And the parade begins!
Quite cool, the entire park is wired so you get surround sound festive music while you watch the parade move to the music!	One person controls the dancing parade guy...	Quite cool, eh?
The clock spun while the drummer kept up with the beat!	A view of the VIP deck, killer desserts were found on the stand in the middle.	Another view of the VIP deck (Dad & Kim are sitting on the right).
Looking toward where the fireworks will be going off.	Parade's over! Fireworks coming soon! Kate, Tara & Adam cozy up to keep warm...	Probably the coolest fireworks we have ever seen -- everything was synchronized to what was playing over the surround sound speakers!
More fireworks!	We could feel the warmth of the fire all the way back where we were!	A really cool globe, the lit parts of the globe were actually tv screens!
The grand finale!	Interesting light effect!	It's so hard to capture the size of the Spaceship Earth globe in a photo!
On the way out we stopped at the Disney Store, and pop tried on the Grumpy hat!	Here he is again!	Here they are! Grumpy and Dopey!! :)
Leaving the park -- cool water scene!	Another shot of the globe...	Here's one you can use for your Windows background. :)
	Kim & Katelyn say "Good night!"
