Any idea whether the tree will have pacakages under it as it has in past years? (Not sure if it did last year, but in 2008 and prior, it did.)
Last year there were no presents; I would be be pleasantly surprised if they were there this year. I'm curious to see if anything gets put around the AA tree as well. Anyone remember the train set that for some unknown reason disappeared last year?
Pics from 2009 showing no presents or train:

Wow, they're really going out of their way to make Christmas at Epcot lamer and lamer each year. What's next? CP for dining packages only? No more Holidays Around the World Santas? Neither would surprise me. I mean, both would obviously be due to 'guest demand' or 'obsolete technology', of course.
Something is missing in those pictures..........:brick:
Seriously though, Christmas at EPCOT is really becoming a drag.

Seriously though, Christmas at EPCOT is really becoming a drag. It's like they're doing as little as possible to decorate. The presents around the tree, the Garden of Peace, the *thing I don't even have to mention*- it really detracts from the experience.
Lets take bets. How long before the AA tree stops going up due to "obsolete equipment" and guest demand?
I'm okay with Christmas going from November 1 to January 15th...soon they will stretch it right until it's time to start of Flower and Garden. Every day is a celebration at WDW!At least they can go the route they went last year and it can be Christmas until mid Jan.
I was at Epcot last night (finished up my F&W passport - yay!). There were no presents under the main tree and no train under the AA tree. The sparkly lights were on the main tree.
