i’ve actually been in epcot for new years… same thing… absolutely amazing, one of the best thing i’ve ever seen in my life. They say epcot is a tiny bit better for fireworks and stuff because of the lake in the middle, and every diff country is just a huge dance party with alcohol and music, phenomenal. But yes i agree with your wife, the haunted mansion is my fav ride also. I’ve ridden it 43 times in a row once, and then my parents came and got me and took me home. But it was amazing. I still know every word to the ride.
btw love the pics, bring back some memories
