Echo Lake Refurbishment

[ToTBellHop]

I know the tree sitting outside holiday services currently appears to be the same one from years past. The tree itself may be new but the decorations and garland were the same.

I know last year there was a significant increase/return of decorations to resort food and beverage locations.

That would be unfortunate and lazy. Bah.

The MK tree is an embarrassing joke.

Has anyone heard of MK's holiday decor package getting spruced up a bit this year?

What happens to the Echo Lake island after the Christmas tree is removed? Potted plants? Plain old grass island? Statues?

That's a shame as I only eat free range Christmas Trees. And free range shrimp.

surely there is a price premium on these rare breeds?

Was there ever any new concept art for what Eco Lake will look for Christmas 2017?

Happy Holidays!

Hopefully it's going in it's spot outside the gate and a new tree on the island.

I'm still a little bummed that the tree isn't going back to its old home in the center of park in front of the Chinese Theater, but even with the new mobile stages I assume Lucasfilm didn't like the idea of a giant Christmas tree being the backdrop for their Star Wars character show. Maybe one day...

The bigger issue is the projection shows which are here to stay. Echo Lake is a new, permanent home.

I’m ok with that really. I like the idea of the tree on the island (final judgement until we see the actual display of course). It’s unique and should look great at night with the lights reflecting on the water.

DHS should look really nice for the holidays. Yes, it stinks losing the Osborne lights, but the entire “old Hollywood” section of the park is going to be decorated head to toe, and with some new entertainment to boot.

Photo update as of Sunday, October 22, 2017. Sod was added in the center of Echo Lake island.

The tree trunks that appear underwater in Echo Lake have been repainted dark brown. Previously they were tan, or very faded.

It's better look great. There's so little of the park left, they'd better make it first class for the prices they charge (even if its part of a multi-day pass).

Everything thus far in the park looks great.
