Creator's Key Takeaways

So, we are going to use our Lightning Lane at the Glimmering Greenhouse tonight.

It's a little dry, but that's good.

I love this ride. Live with the land. Best ride there is.

It was perfect time. Uh we got there I think about 5:30ish was probably the best time because you have enough light to see everything but it's also dark enough where you can see the lights.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book the behind-the-scenes Glimmering Greenhouse tour as soon as it opens in October, as it sells out quickly.

✓Visit the Glimmering Greenhouse around 5:30 PM for optimal lighting conditions to see both natural and Christmas lights.

✓If you want to see the Candlelight Processional without waiting hours, consider using the standing area behind the marked-off sections.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Getting good seats for the Candlelight Processional — You may not get a seat without waiting hours; consider standing in designated areas for a decent view.

Navigating Epcot during peak times — Visit from rope drop until around 12 PM for lighter crowds; it gets busier as the day goes on.

YouTube Video Description↓

Today is the final day before Disney World starts the passholder blackout for the lower tiers. But it worked out perfect because I was able to see Lt Dan (Gary Sinise) for the Candlelight Processional. As a veteran, I really appreciate everything he does for the military, veterans, and Gold Star families. While at Epcot, we sampled a few different food booths. And no visit during the holidays would be complete without visiting Living With the Lands Glimmering Greenhouse. Today was a great day to end 2025 at Disney World. Thanks for watching!
