I heard there was a new float in the parade but not sure how true it is.

I have not heard anything about a float or anything else.

I am waiting for the castle lighting show to change. I suppose for the average guest that have not seen the castle lights before then the show its ok, but for the fans it's kinda like Yeah Yeah we all know how the castle will be decorated for the Holidays.... Get to the point! hahaha.
I think the show should be changed to something similar to DLs Wintertime Enchantment.

From everything I have been told there was going to be a new float or two this year but those plans have been scrapped (kind of like the scrapped parade plans on the 40th).

They were testing the castle lights very early (like 6:30 am) on Wednesday morning. Seemed SO out of place in mid-October.

Im a huge Christmas geek, but I agree.....early October is a bit much. Stuff is already out at the retail stores....

Before long, they will just leave Christmas stuff out year round.

I know entertainment rehearsals have started, so I imagine if there was anything Earth shattering we would probably know about by now.

No word on WOL at Epcot huh? I doubt it....

I talked to a friend who works there and heard they did have a plan, but tabled it...apparently $$$ beats the pages and pages of negative guest comments. The opinion was that since last year's complaints weren't as large as the year before, they're conteent to just weather what little storm they may get this year. So, unless there is a large outpouring of noise from guests it will fade into memory. They continue to take quality out of WDW at every opportunity.

I read that as 'Lights of Winter', not 'Wonders of Life', yes?

Does anyone think they'll expand the window effects at the Osborne Lights to more or all the windows?

These windows.

Disney is very happy showing the same product year in and year out (yes, the MK's Halloween decor is nice ... but when did they install it 2004? 2005? ... and they haven't added/plussed/changed a thing since).

I see (and have heard) nothing to indicate there will be any changes to WDW's holiday lineup this winter.

Same old, same old.

Year in, year out.

There were actually changes to the standard Magic Kingdom Halloween decorations this year that I would consider to be a fair improvement.

Also some fairly significant changes at MNSSHP due to the closure of Toontown. Overall, I'd consider the changes a net-gain.

This would be GREAT news! We spend one full day in the MK, and that night we will do the Christmas Parade along with the desert party..my wife and I have done the parade, but mom-in-law and daughter have not, so it will be a treat for all!

You saw that I was posting regarding Halloween decorations, not Christmas decorations, right?
