While the Parade Show and Drone sound great, I am less enthused about the changes to Main Street...
However, I am curious, as there is a chance this might look more tasteful in real life.
In other news, there is a randomly two more Christmas shows that are late to the season start and have no times/not been announced
This seems an odd strategy from DLP to not advertise offerings...

I like the shows. The concept art is hard to interpret, for a start I think the halo effects are over done in that picture. I guess we’ll have to wait for actual photos to see the reality. The road projections look cool though, maybe the “100” logo on the floor of Studio One was a trial run.

I could be wrong but I have a feeling this will only be performed on days when there is no private party in the evening. Therefore it will be presented unannounced as “surprise and delight”… my theory can be tested whenever the first early close is.In other news, there is a randomly two more Christmas shows that are late to the season start and have no times/not been announced

Yes, but DLP gets mega €€€ for the buy out and we all know DLP needs money. We all benefit in the long run.Seems even worse for guests
You forget who owns it now!

According to a local newspaper DLP is having a challenging time recruiting for 200 technical positions, including 120 in maintenance for the attractions. Seems like a lot of neglect and delayed rehabilitation projects are primarily a lack of staff issue.

Neglect? Whilst not perfect the resort is still looking the best it has since probably 1992 !

Depends on the area or attraction we are talking about and probably not the resort in total. There are still some attractions that are desperately and visibly in need of a proper renovation - e.g. Space Mountain, La Cabane des Robinson, etc. I have definitely seen those in a much better shape before. Even the newly renovated castle roofing could already benefit from some little maintenance love. Hopefully DLP will be able to recruit for those open positions quickly to address those areas.
The castle tiles seem more of a problem with the way the overhaul was done. I’d hope. Same for some of the iasw facades. Space Mountain - inside and out - definitely falls into the “whilst not perfect” category. The exterior lighting is a pet peeve of mine. Conversely I’ve seen effects I didn’t know existed; flames on the rotunda outside Captain Jacks and on the Frontierland sign. PM is still smoking and the shutters are still clanging. Again, not perfect, but overall far far better than 20 years ago. Even 10 years ago.

Oh, absolutely. The years before Project Sparkle were a low point for DLP. Fully agree that we are way passed those days. My point was not really to complain about the current imperfections in the park. The news article actually shows to me that DLP would not hire that many new employees for maintenance if they did not plan to put even more effort into it. The fact that they are struggling - like many other parks - to quickly fill all those positions would just explain that DLP might have to make some compromises and address some of the renovations a bit later than they would like to.
Talking about SM renovation - seems like this one might be coming soon. At least that's what I am reading from this message:
Standard operating procedure for DLP seems to be to let it rot to the point where it needs entirely rebuilt, then learn nothing and not touch it again once it's rebuilt so it looks terrible again in a couple years. See Newport Bay Club exterior or Castle roof as examples.

I haven't been over to Newport Bay for a while so what's the problem? Is it just dirty? The "wood" panels are plastic so they can't be rotting?
Newport looked pretty good in September

I like how it offers a good architectural transition with Hotel New York.
