Note that Santa's Chalet has now moved from near to World of Disney to the Tree Trail. The virtual queue carries over from before.

I keep seeing photos of the tree trail only during the daytime - I imagine it's nice with the Christmas lights on.

I’m sure it is nice at night, just difficult to photograph well in those conditions, and with all the people.

Not a fan of those fences. Last year I think they used rolling bushes with lights in them.

I dunno, I think they look nicer. The rolling bushes screamed ‘we did this in an hour’ last year to me.

Yeah but at night it was a wall of Christmas lights. Now it just screams "we went to Lowe's and did this is an hour"

Anyone know about how long the wait is to see Santa at DS?

Varies by time of day, but 60 minutes or less.

Please. Disney uses contractors. They went to Home Depot.

M•A•C Snow Ball event coming to Disney Springs this weekend

The decorations at Disney Springs are minimum at best. The Christmas tree trail is pathetic - it should be a magical walk in the forest, not a Home Depot project with a $1000 budget. Nothing is better.

I've expressed my displeasure with the tree trail in the past. But, outside of that I think Disney springs is quite nicely decorated. I certainly wouldn't call the decorations throughout the marketplace, landing, and town center to be minimal. But that's just my opinion.

Hmmmm. I was underwhelmed. Some areas are nice but most of it is underwhelming. The town center tree is very nice.

And I loved these reindeer....

Speaking of reindeer I would love to see an entire section done in this steampunk motif.

Now all that said and done, some of the areas do feel rather sparse.

Overall I feel like the holiday decorations at Disney Springs falls into that Disney trap of most everything is either a large tree, Garland or a wreath. They do have some nice vignettes, but overall there's not really a wow factor to their decorations.

Still working out the kinks!

 

[wdwmagic]

But but where are the drones?????

One time only as part of Intel’s launch event for the product.

Expect to see drones in future park shows though.

So just as bad or "cheap" looking as last year?

Yes to the tree trail. I don't think the rest of the decor is bad or "cheap" looking.
