In this thread, complain about Christmas music in the parks

[Californian Elitist]

I listen to Christmas music from January to December haha.

OP, stay away from the DLR during Christmas. You can hear Christmas tunes in pretty much every land. Not to mention "it's a small world" Holiday lol.

I visit WDW in November from the UK usually getting there around 5th to spend my birthday there which is 20th and I'm with you - I don't like the Xmas music that early. The decorations seem to go up earlier every year. If only Xmas could start maybe the week of thanksgiving for those who visit especially for it? But then everything starts earlier every year. By the time Xmas is over we will have Easter eggs out in the shops it's just the way things are now.

Right, but for every person that wants to see it, I'm sure there's another that would rather see WDW and not "Christmas WDW".

And this is the exact philosophy that prohibits getting the holiday overlays WDW.

Walking around the Studios park a week ago today, in several areas there was no music at all. Odd.

I like the music they've been playing at DTD in Anaheim this year...a nice mix of pop-flavored holiday tunes like "What are you doing New Year's Eve?" and "Blue Christmas." I agree that the traditional carols can become overkill since I'm fairly certain there are exactly 5 traditional Christmas songs that have been covered repeatedly since the fall of the Roman Empire, but I like hearing a mix of modern tunes that still remind me what time of year it is.

I wish @Tom Morrow a Merry Christmas!
I wish Tom Morrow a Merry Christmas!
I wish Tom Morrow a Merry Christmas!
And a Happy new Year!

Good tidings I bring to you, even if you don't want!
Good tidings and Christmas songs!...
...In the parks all year long!



Merry Christmas!

Are we talking about the overplayed and over-covered song made popular by Mariah Carey, or the overplayed and over-covered song made popular by Vince Vance & The Valiants...both of which are stuck in my head simultaneously somehow.

 

[KeithVH]

Either. Don't forget Bublè is doing a cover of it also. 'Bought ready to think a poke in the eye with a sharp stick IS better.

Feh! All of you hating on All I Want For Christmas is You need to see this version!

 

[Wilt Dasney]

^I'm secretly (and now not so secretly) a fan of the song. Yes, it's overplayed this time of year, but I won't even remember it exists in August.

Not only does Christmas seem to start earlier and earlier every year (which I don't mind) but so does every other holiday. I was just in Wal-Mart this morning (12-22) and the Valentine candy was already out. And it was in the same aisle as the Christmas candy. I should have taken a picture as it was a strange juxtaposition of holidays.

I like "All I Want For Christmas Is You" a lot. The Mariah version. It's a good song!
