I suspect they've had bigger fish to fry with the general park improvements - overlays would be an extreme luxury. But who knows? Once they've got the park up to standards there might be room to do something like this.
Not sure how the holiday theme would work with the Frontierland/Western theme Phantom Manor has.

I only ask because DLP does do Small World Holiday every year, and they have made Jack Skellington (and some years Sally) a part of their Halloween and Christmas promotions.

Everything I hear about this park makes me want to visit more and more. It's wonderful to hear it's getting such TLC.

Earlier this year scaffolding went up along the backside of ToT. Now it's come down to reveal some of the broken pieces fixed, but not all. I'm not sure why they would stop, unless there are plans to change the look of the building, or resources were needed elsewhere.

I know they were doing tests on the best way to repair the Tower, I don't know where these works fit into that however.

It never made sense to me why the Tower would start falling apart after just 5 or 6 years of operation. That sounds more like poor construction than poor maintenance to me.

I'm not an expert but I believe it is something to go with French construction methods/standards differing from the US and the Tower hasn't held up to the force exerted on it as well as it should have done.
So yes, poor construction or poor design over poor maintenance.

Another major refurbishment has come to an end: Alice's Curious Labyrinth has reopened today! The Queen of Hearts Castle has been entirely repainted and all other elements in the maze have been restored to their original quality.

I don't know, yesterday the castle was not yet open to guests...

when DLP first opened there was a helter skelter type slide from the top of the castle to the bottom for guests. It closed pretty soon however (probably a safety/staffing issue).
It looks to me from the refurbished photos that the slide is still closed off - you can just about make out the plaster they used over the entrance - but painted the same colour as the rest of the castle

When you guys say "soft open" does it mean the ride will be open the whole day or just that they'll be testing in a few undetermined times?

I guess they will open it in function to test the ride with the new improvements. If any thing looks like it's not just right, the attraction closes again.
