A very scaled down version (ie no gingerbread houses).

The Studios Christmas tree is currently sitting in the parking lot waiting to be brought in and assembled

Has anyone heard about Epcot’s decor? Do we think world showcase will be getting decorated? And will they wait till after food and wine?

So no snow on MS or holiday attraction overlay? Was hoping they would at least do SMs overlay.

The tech teams that do those overlay are mostly furloughed still, transferred to another role, or took a layoff.

Was at Epcot yesterday, and while this isnt World Showcase Mousegear has already put up some Christmas signage along with this year’s Christmas merchandise.

Regardless of shift, cavalcades after dark are considered a safety concern.

that said they are 100% doing the rehearsals for the christmas calvades in the MK during the evening hours. Doesn't mean that the plan during operating hours but they have done full parades, move it shake its, and cavalcades after dark enough times prior to this.

I would expect mostly the same decor, MINUS the big chocolate or ginger bread displays. All the Big Trees will come out, and plenty of garland and reefs.

Because everybody gathers around the gingerbread but nobody gathers around the Christmas tree?

For what I've seen, people gather around Christmas trees, but not as much as around gingerbread displays. Most displays also sell cookies and stuff (like at GF, BW and CR). It can get crowded at times.

There hasn’t been enough of the culinary teams called back to construct those displays.

There we go.

Haven’t several chefs been let go? I know the chef at France “retired” but weren’t some others let go in these layoffs?

Do you know what music we'll hear wqith the Holoday Calacades??? I'm hoping for a MOUACT loop or 2 like the BTY Cavalcades.

I could hear the once upon a christmas time at christmas theme, and also what sounded like Santa's float.

vise versa.

Well yes. Rehearsals almost always take place in the overnight hours. They’ve run full night parades with guests too. But that won’t happen under Covid operating conditions

 

[TTA94]

YES!!!!

Secretly hopeing they do a small projection show with the music from MWCT, in particular the ending with the “When We’re Together” song.

But would it be the same without pyro?

Is there any way Court Dancers can be added to the Princess Procession so we can get the Romance MOUACT Loop
