You know, looking back on it, Disney always had a sort of certain charm in the 70's and early 80's with its notable C List celebrities they'd get to appear in TV specials like this. And with the odd exception of Elton John, that is definitely a C List.

But somehow, when it's actually happening, the C Listers of today aren't as charming at the time as they'll be 20 years from now.

Also, I'm pretty sure a couple names on that guest list are going to be mentioned in the upcoming Sean Combs trial.
Could this be the last yeah I have to hear John Legends awful, woke “Baby, It’s Cold Outside”? I’m pretty woke but…cringe.

It doesn't seem like Disney is decorating any F&B locations anymore. I have noticed that all decor has returned to Merchandise locations though.
Diamond Horseshoe and Biergarten have full decor. And La Hacienda de San Angel has minimal decor but has at least wreaths. There might be more but there’s at least still some table service restaurants that decorate.

What’s baffling to me is this bothering you. You act like it’s important. It’s trivial.

Now you’re getting it.
This entire forum is trivial. Everything we talk about here is insignificant in the grand scheme of the things. Just because something isn’t important to you doesn’t mean it’s not important to others. I’m sure there are things you place importance in that others don’t care about.

I wonder if Chefs de France have their wreaths and garlands like they use to

Remember to avoid a quarter mile around Communicor Hall during Painful! occurrences unless you enjoy off key squalls of a cat being electrocuted. Unfortunately our dinner plans are in Epcot today.

I'm likely to face criticism for saying this, but I believe the artisans behind the Spaceship Earth gingerbread display missed the mark. While it's undoubtedly an impressive feat, I don't think it captures the true essence of the holiday season. Those same geodesic tiles could easily be replicated using cardboard and achieve a similar visual impact. The fact that it's made of gingerbread is "on-point" but for me, that's only half the equation. The other half is about capturing the warm, inviting spirit of the holiday season and embracing the whimsy and charm of gingerbread baking during the holidays.

The beacons of light could have been designed using traditional accents like spice drops or peppermint candies, which I think would have enhanced the overall experience. Don't get me wrong; it's a skillfully crafted piece. However, for me, it falls short of truly feeling festive.

I think the gingerbread Spaceship Earth looks great. Problem is that it's still floating in the middle of a mostly empty convention hall with a few decals. This space needs to have a lot more content for every single festival to even approach a state that doesn't feel utterly wasteful and pointless.
