Christmas Rumors?

[21stamps]

unfortunately, that seems to be true...Close the attraction....when people finally start to forget about it, throw a meet and greet in the remains of the old attraction and declare it a job well done, and giving people what they want....

Considering that thousands of us have young children who have never been to WDW at Christmastime before.. Children who's happiness, joy, excitement and fun is not based on what WDW had in the past, but will love it for what it is now. Yep, we will take them..and have a magical time while there

Rumor has it they're going to put up a tree for Christmas.

Rumor has it that Christmas will fall on 25th of December this year.

Based on Disney's recent track record for getting attractions done on time I wouldn't bet on that., I think we will see Christmas sometime in February at the earliest. I am also hearing that they may substitute a different holiday in December until Christmas is ready.

So far the new Christmas Castle Show starring Mickey sounds interesting so far but we haven't seen any concept art yet. I am looking forward to the inclusion of Pinocchio as part of the show.

Me too! I don't want to see it before we go though. I think it's exciting to see something for the first time.

Did they file their permit for Christmas on time? Or did they drop the ball on that one?

I dont think there is anything new planed for the Studios this Christmas, but the parks and resorts still get all decked out. Some of the nicest spots are the Deluxe Resorts, Main Street at Magic Kingdom and World Showcase at Epcot. Holidays around the World is one of my favorite things to experience and the counties are beautiful. Also this year will be new decorations at Disney Springs at the new neighborhoods along with the Marketplace that received new decor last year.

Christmas in Epcot still won't be the same without Lights Of Winter

Oh. You'd want "Mickey's T'was the night before Christmas" at the Galaxy Palace Theatre circa 2004. Highly recommend.

I would go with Mickey's T'was the night before Christmas than A Totally Tommorowland Christmas.

 

[brb1006]

Wow, I wonder what that will be like.
I really hope some new costume characters show up this year to make up for the losses!

I'm sure we might get to see Pinocchio with a moving head for the first time since he will be showing up for this one. Hopefully not as a face character.

In DHS? Disney will be promoting STAR WARS: Rogue One like gangbusters for the mid-December release.

They will be playing this

Shhhh!!!! From the sounds of it you would think that HS will be near empty during the Christmas season... I am hoping they are right. Let everyone Skip DHS! Somehow I doubt they will though Either way, I'm excited!

I don't know what AK does during the Christmas season. But I bet the park will be gaining some attention during the Christmas season as a result of the lost of the Osborne lights. Who knows they might even add Christmas lights as you walk around the park at night. But that is wishful thinking though.

What have you done. I haven't been exposed to this. Now my night of productivity is gone.

Since DHS is the Star Wars park I would have quite a chuckle if they Celebrated....Life Day....(Sure everyone is going to tell Chewbacca that at the M&G Area around that time).

Don't forget the Star Wars Christmas album featuring R2-D2 and C3-PO

The last time i attended AK at Christmas time, there was minimal decorations around the park, besides the entrance and CMM

I would recommend avoiding the Mickey's Merriest something something when it debuts later this year.

I seem to remember that too. Actually the past few years it seems some of the smaller holiday offerings and decor are slowly fading out. But then I've noticed that with Flower & Garden as well. Is it possible they are doing some "trimming" per se and think that people wouldn't notice? They should know better than that as dedicated returning guests notice everything.

Mickey's Merriest Eternally Frozen castle show? Yeah, I'll pass.

I'm thinking they will probably do something. It's the first year with night time hours. We are staying at AKL for 1.5 nights pre cruise, but no parks. After the cruise we're staying at the contemporary for 4 nights..but skipping AK. Not that I don't like the park, just don't have enough time to fit it in on a short stay

Well they are decorating Town center and DS this year. So i wouldn't be surprised if other decorations got cut as well.
