Christmas disappointment ....

[bjlc57]

we all know that Disney can " do anything." and so three years ago when I was there for Christmas, I was shocked and disappointed not to find and " LIVE or REAL Christmas trees.. ' it was all fake and plastic and not very Disney.. if they can have a real tree in Rockerfeller square in New York, they can have live trees in Disney world. for one ..because they can KEEP THEM IN DIRT and keep them alive the whole time in the park.. Yes.. Disney is capable of doing this.. it was too fake and Christmas was more of a theory and snowflakes and hot chocolate and winter thyme as opposed to the true meaning of Christmas.. Yes the Candlelight processional was on point.. but that was it for all the parks.. and if you didn't see that .. it was plastic and fluff.. JOMHO.. I assume that the ripping will start within seconds.. Merry Christmas..

No, they can’t, but sometimes they also won’t, for good reason.

Which trees would you prefer to be real? Real trees are more expensive and labor intensive.

true meaning of Christmas

I missed that part in the Biblical narrative where Mary and Joseph started the Germanic tradition of decorating a Christmas Tree.

If you pay the up-charge for the Christmas party.....they bring in "real trees" for that. Once the party ends...they take the "real trees" down and put the "fake ones" back up - in time for rope drop the next morning.

I'm still trying to reconcile the fact that Expedition Everest is not a "real" mountain.

This is hilarious

Wait - the true meaning of Christmas is a real pagan tree?

Very unmagical...someone go tell Katiebug.

There’s a warehouse...holiday services...over by downtown that they work on those decorations damn near all year.

It also takes heavy equipment to haul and erect those things.

To put it simply: it’s simple unrealistic to expect them to use live trees.

I don’t agree with the complaint either, but why are people calling the OP a troll?

The traditional trees you speak of will not survive down here in the Florida heat if you "plant " them. And artificial trees are eco friendly because we reuse them year after year. Sorry if that ruined the magic. But it's not a case of " won't" it's a case of "can't". Trees that get shipped down here will die.

I'm glad they don't use real trees. Disney's trees are beautiful and a real Christmas tree is hardly the theme for Christmas.

Because the OP is complaining about a minute detail simply to stir the pot.

The snow is also fake. So is the ice on the castle. The grass in the hub isn't real either. Those also aren't real animals on the Jungle Cruise.

He may be complaining about a minute detail, but that's pretty much par for the course here. Why does that equate with trolling? If you agreed with this opinion, you'd probably view his intentions differently.

It's more in how it's phrased than anything. It's not, "I was very disappointed that there weren't real trees in WDW. Does anyone know why this is? Who else wants to see real trees?" That would have been a discussion. It's more a complaining rant just to get people to disagree rather than discuss. That's basically the definition of a troll.

SOmeone tell the OP the true meaning of Christmas has nothing to do with decorations.
