Something wrong with them, more like.:lookaroun
And that would have made a better excuse than "Obsolete"
...I would still be unhappy, but at least there would be a justifiable reason..

I agree; at the minimum we would have known they at least made an effort to set them up.....:shrug:

The Castle Dreamlights don't make money. Nor do Osborne. I fail to see this logic.
:lol: I was in the Disney Store, and I always feel it is appropriate to scope out the enemy...and bug the CM about what's offered.
"75 bucks for a magazine and a mall...?....Maybe next time."
:lookaroun
:ROFLOL: When I tried to read one last Sunday,they were sealed in plastic things.:lol:

*Sighs* My favorite part about Epcot during the Christmas Times and they have to take it away from me maybe. I'm used to it though, they took away my Raspberry and Strawberry swirl from Enchanted Grove, Figaro fries over at Pinocchio Village Hause and for a long time now, I haven't seen the perimeter fireworks during Illuminations. They're ruining my childhood! :lol:
I really hope they somehow bring them back, if not, at least I have the list of the music that played during low. Beautiful Music.

I bet the real reason is that the location of the LoW don't make them any money, it's in the middle of the park, I bet in the future they add something like osbourne to the back of the park around world showcase so the "guest" will be near the restaurants even earlier in the evening. just my two cents..

I doubt it, but it would be very, very, nice.

If that's the case, which I doubt it is....then, ______. :lookarounHere is a thought....
Is it possible the budget for setting up the LoW has been diverted to fund the removal of the tarps and otherwise improving Communicore Plaza?
A hard sacrifice to swallow, but a good one, in the long run.
Seems improbable, but not impossible.

Don't worry; in the future, packages will be sent via beams of light, which will allow them to be shipped quickly and arrive at their destination safe and undamaged.
As for this other D23/maybe they were actually damaged stuff, then why wouldn't TDO come out and say it? I mean, yes either way they get the blame, but at least that way we know they made an attempt at putting them up. :shrug:
But since it appears Epcot has cutback on all its other holiday decor, I find it hard to believe that the LoW were cut because they were damaged.
And I wouldn't mind too much if the tarps were to come down. As bitter a pill as it is to swallow to see the LoW gone, it would be great to see Innoventions Plaza de-cluttered.

Here is what I got.
James, as a part of our normal course of business, we regularly evaluate
and adjust our offerings. __As a result we have made the decision to
retire the Lights of Winter, the illuminated canopy along Showcase Plaza
at Epcot®, as the technology is obsolete.
Although we understand your disappointment with this change, we have
several offerings for Holidays Around The World. We hope you will visit
us as we continue to feature the nightly Candlelight Processional at
America Gardens Theatre, holiday storytellers throughout World Showcase
and a special holiday fireworks salute each night following
IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth. __In addition, we are pleased to
debut a lively new gospel choir, “D’Vine Voices.” The group will perform
daily Nov. 27 through Dec. 26. __
Our Guests' feedback, as well as their continued enthusiasm for our
products and services, is very important to us. __We genuinely appreciate
the time you took to share your thoughts.

This is from this afternoon. Glean from it what you can, I'm not quite sure what to look for...

"LOW are obsolete"
Depends on your definition of obsolete. If I use same definition, then me and the family going to WDW year after year is also obsolete. And, for another example, Thunder Mountain Railroad is also obsolete, but I ride it every visit.. WDW Management should be careful to understand the broader definitions of some of the words they use.

It doesn't have to be if we continue to whine and make noise about this...What a total load of BS.:fork:
And it sounds permanent.
In fact I say we egg the gospel choir so they refuse to perform... (Joking)

Is it that they want to cut the religious ties to Christmas? Unless of course those ties buy thousands of WS dinners? Do not be suprised if the blasting of religous music through the park did not account for a large part of this closure.
The "we do not promote religious views, unless they provide a core source of income" attitude is too much.
