Lights of Winter not being displayed this year (2009)!?!

[The Disney Kid]

Is this speculation or did I miss something that would have made me VERY happy?

It should be down by 2011. It's set for a 10 year run...much like the Wand.


The only thing was, with the wand, we complained, and Siemens disliked it, too.

I won't miss that thing. I'm just afraid they'll put up a permanent stage for that High School Musical crapola.

Too bad Siemens seems to be all for their crappy descent. :brick:

Hopefully that will be dead by then, too.

Oddly enough....they are not. They just need to pay for the new stuff already!:fork:

Oddly enough, the mantra for my trip is "Oh no you are not going to steal my joy!" I think I wanna :hurl: now.

ONLY EIGHT PERFORMANCES A WEEK?!?!?! Fridays and Saturdays only?

Oh, what an ever-so-magical new experience.

I think they will be performing every day, it's just that HATW doesn't start until Friday, and thats when the new group will start performing.

Hopefully a preemptive effort to distract from the BAH, as it will be leaving us soon.

Yeah, that's a decent sign - I'll allow it.

I did see one guy walking where the arches would be, and looking surprised that they weren't there (he was telling his friend and gesturing). I think there will be a lot of that.

That's the kind of response I'm guessing people will give. Now, the next step is to go up to those folks and let them know exactly what is missing and/or why. Then encourage them to let Disney know they aren't happy about it.

What we need is an organized boycott of EPCOT. Make the place a ghost town, especially after dark. Better off going to DHS' Osborne or MK instead.

OK, then I'll put away the FailWhale until I get further info

It is going to be sickening seeing all these fooled newbies standing around the quire like a bunch of babies. Wow the epcot fountain stage risers blocking the fountain really tick me off more than ever right now. A quire... that seems real futuristic and nowhere as obsolete as the LOW technology. I know this is getting old but Obsolete my )).

They asked, we'll answer

So the latest posting on the Disney Parks blog is asking what your favorite thing is about holidays at the parks.

Shall we tell them ?

Wow, I'm surprised they opened that door. I wonder if they are planning to block LoW comments.

Ha. I'm glad this whole Lights of Winter thing has reminded people of the great Santa hat Earful Tower. They had no reason to stop that too.

I really liked the Santa hat on the Earful Tower.

I did. I posted this:

While the Magic Kingdom is great this time of year, my favorite holiday experience has been sitting under Epcot’s Lights of Winter arches and listening to the music. I’m as facinated by these as I am by the Fountain of Nations. The sychronized music and visuals are truly unique. That’s why I’m traveling to the WDW in the next few days and planned to be at Epcot as much as possible… to get in the holiday spirit with the Lights of Winter.

Any bets it gets swept off by the moderator?

I'm guessing yes. There's not one mention of the LoW yet... its still early, but I think Mickey is doing a bit of behind the scenes editing.

And yet they allowed the Christmas CBJ to pass inspection. That, in modest terms, is a whole 'nother topic.

(sigh)

Yep, its gone...I guess they're no longer interested in hearing from their paying customers on this issue. Makes me wonder if I should even take the time to talk to Guest Relations on Friday when I arrive.

A few years ago I was surveyed while in the park. One of the questions was something like 'Is your family creating memories that will last a lifetime?' If asked this time, I suppose I can answer 'yes', but its not the kind of memory they really want me to have.

Stopped by EPCOT guest relations today and voiced my opinion. The CM said they have gotten moderate compliants from guests. She kept insisting I keep open minded this year and I'll be "plesantly pleased". She said there will be a lot more decorations in the pavilions this year and other "new" offerings. I have no idea if I should expect anything new, right now I'm doubting it.

You should have told her you would keep an open mind and a closed wallet.
