You defend just about everything they do and this is the hill you’ll die on? I’ll never understand penguins.

The carousel certainly seems more impressive to me - but all of the displays are fun.
Spaceship earth just suffers from the festival center surrounding it :-/ - they may as well have put it in a high school gymnasium.
You'll be surprised to learn I don't have high regard for the modern topiaries that are just chia-fied mannequins!!!

Wait until they hear how many bricks make up Cinderella Castle.
Did they change anything else? Interesting that they remove a song, although it's not incessively popular so I don't think it'll be missed. I think splitting up those other two makes it a much better show.

That’s all I noticed. The songs were originally separate but were merged together I am guessing to fit in let there be peace on earth a few years ago, now they’ve returned to the previous version

Temporary apology for removing the Peace on Earth fireworks tag?

It was definitely a tribute to that, it used the same spiel that Walter Cronkite used to say during it

Oh, look, someone at Disney ran to Home Depot and spent around 200 bucks! Cute. Maybe next year we can get a few strands of real lights held up with command hooks.
Once again, I cannot believe people are actually praising their pathetic, half baked efforts.

Just got a survey that included questions about the holiday decorations at Epcot and I let them know alllll about how much they were lacking

We need a detailed history of the decisions that led to the construction of Communicore Hall. It would be fascinating.

Anecdotal: we attended our first ever Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party on Thursday.
One thing that surprised me was that the “free” cookies were legit good. And the hot cocoa was decent.
The fireworks were awesome, with a jaw-dropping finale.
Caught part of the parade in passing.
Rode Big Thunder many times, Tron 3 times, Tiana’s twice, Jingle Cruise, and Space Mountain.

It’s one of the main reasons to attend the party! If you go again, I would make a point of watching it properly—ideally from Main Street so that you experience the “snow”.

We’ve gone many times but felt MVMCP was exceptional this year. Perhaps my memory is bad but it felt like lots more streetmosphere, they were generous with the cookies, there were low ride wait times, and overall it was just so much fun. Parade and fireworks are always top tier. Truly a trip highlight.
Can’t say the same for Jollywood though. We couldn’t believe the same park put these two events together. For all the warmth and liveliness of MVMCP, JN could not be more opposite. Outside of the Muppets show, everything seemed very half baked. The skating show was just…not it. The fireworks show is not good either. And for anything else happening, it all seemed tucked away and you had to go search for it.
I’ve heard other people really like JN this year, so not sure if we just hit a bad night or this just isn’t our cup of tea? We wanted to like it, but just fail to see the value here.
MVMCP is where it’s at!!

Jollywood is missing something. It just didn’t feel like a party like MVMCP does. We couldn’t quite put our finger on what it was, but something just wasn’t clicking. And the fireworks were super meh.
I realized today that Elton John’s appearance at the Christmas tapings wasn’t an attempt to boost the performer lineup for the sake of providing an enhanced lineup. They’re hyping the documentary on D+. *Sigh*
