News 2019 Epcot International Festival of the Holidays

I thought I read on this site that the lack of a Holiday Tag enabled the new decorations at the other parks (AK, for example).

Poor Disney. Couldn't afford to do both. Seriously.

I think that’s a mistake not having a tag, especially with a brand new ride at DHS. I foresee a sizable migration of guests after seeing Candlelight choose to go to DHS to ride of ROTR at the end of the day.

What other tags?

4th and NYE, but it looks like the NYE tag is staying, but why not keep the Holiday tag.

Didn't Disney say last year that it was the final holiday tag? They did not say the same about NYE or 4th, but with the changes being made around World Showcase and the lagoon, I wouldn't be surprised if they just did a simple count down into EF.

Harmonious might be up and running for the next 4th, so they may do something then.

They will have time to reload for NYE. There will be additional hardware available by the 4th.

I’ve had an email from Disney to say that Warwick Davis has been replaced with Geena Davis on 21st December. I was looking forward to seeing Warwick but I’m sure Geena will be great too.

The ol’ Davis switcheroo!

 

[surfsupdon]

Still one of my favorite shows, despite who the host is.

But I agree....no Christmas Holiday tag after the new fireworks show is a pretty big let down.

The ol’ Davis switcheroo!

The question is... will anyone notice?

Chita Rivera pulled out due to health issues. Now Warwick Davis is not coming. I'm sure there are some back ups standing by.

Saw Isabella Rossalini tonight, she did a fantastic job and you could tell how happy she was to be there, I just love when performers show their joy. Also, I don’t care what anyone else thinks Candlelight is the best thing Disney does all year long.
