I’m used to spotting the odd phone box while running races in the UK (and making a mental note so that I can go back and photograph it later if it’s the kind of race where I don’t want to stop!) but it’s less expected to see them during races abroad!
However, Epcot at Walt Disney World (where the RunDisney races start and end) contains a World Showcase, with mini areas dedicated to various countries around the world. The United Kingdom area, of course, includes phone boxes (presumably original ones shipped across the Atlantic following disuse, though I haven’t done the research into this).
I stopped to take photos as soon as I saw them while running the 5k. Here’s the first, next to the ‘Rose and Crown’ pub!

Love the festive wreath too. Christmas decorations were still up at Disney when we were there in early January, which was nice!
More from Epcot next week.
