WDW-Memories Podcast, Memory 271 – Experiencing La Befana, Italy’s Holiday Storyteller.

Put those headphones on and join me now for another of my Walt Disney World Memories, brought to you in immersive binaural sound, as we make our way to our next attraction, but stop to hear about Italy’s holiday traditions.

Well hello and welcome to the WDW-Memories Podcast where together we relive that Walt Disney World Magic. My name is Lou and I’ll once again be your host on this magical adventure.

Today’s episode is short, and I wanted to get it in before we head out of town for spring break. We’re going to try a cruise, not a Disney, but this one is probably more about the destinations than the ship. I’ll have to share my thoughts when we get back, but for now, let’s get back to our day in Epcot.

The Holiday Storytellers are so cool. If you’re in Epcot during the holidays, make sure you stop on your way between attractions to listen to everyone, even if you show up a little late. La Befana is so charismatic and fun, so make sure you catch her for sure.

So we’re continuing our adventures in Epcot on a beautiful Sunday morning in December of 2021. The sun is warm, and the sky is mostly clear. It’s a perfect Florida winter day, even if it’s starting to get a little too warm in the sun.

If you remember from Memory 270, we got to share The American Adventure with the kids for the first time, and are now exiting the building and trying to figure out food. We are going to eat here at the new Regal Eagle Smoke House, but our pickup window isn’t for another 30 minutes, so we decide we are going to head back to Mexico and ride the 3 Caballeros. But on our way, we were pleasantly distracted by La Befana who was telling us about how she was searching for the Jesu Bambino. As she finishes, we snap a quick photo and continue on our way towards Mexico once again.

Today’s memory is in binaural once again, so I’d suggest putting those headphones on to fully immerse yourself in the memory.

Now that you have your headphones on, let’s join my family for a quick stop in Italy to hear about the traditions of the holidays there.
