Removal of Main Street Christmas Wreaths Due to New Parade

[PhotoDave219]

If they stayed the way they are, I wouldn't have a problem at all. As I said, I like that they seem much more theme appropriate and they put the castle in the forefront, unlike the garlands, which blocked the view (pictures from the train station with the castle lit up should be beautiful).

I'm simply saying I think i'd like them more if they added garlands to add a bit of color, but then again, you've seen them in person and i'm going off something i'm imagining in my head so what do I know.

Check that photo I just posted, I don't think they're going to change much from the way they are right now.

Was this directed at me? Sarcastic? lol, call me stupid but i'm confused because I wasn't attacking.

Sorry @Next Big Thing

Not directed at anyone except Disney, Just saying we should be equally prepared to praise or skewer Disney based on the decorations as of Friday.

As I said in my prior post, that view should look beautiful with the castle lit up.

Color me underwhelmed so far, The wreaths displayed look like the ones at the local mall, I expect a bit MORE from Disney. Would it have been so difficult to have TWO versions of the Christmas parade one for the MVMCP and one for regular guests so as to maintain the holiday atmosphere.

Ok. This should end a few questions.....

There's no possible conceivable way for them to put anything across the street.

Thank you for posting.
The only thing I'd really like to see changed is a smaller crowd of people. Seems to me since it's November 4th it should be a low season.

What is this "low season" you speak of?

Don't give them ideas…

@wdwmagic so is this it? No garland to be strung tonight like someone previously suggested?

All done Dave as far as I know.

It is Election Day today; lots of kids have the day off.

Maybe their parents took them out to Disney for a long weekend?

Just a guess.

After seeing the parade run this afternoon, I'm inclined to agree.

Out of curiosity, what did they do to Main Street when the Surprise Celebration parade was running in November and December? That had very tall floats too.

 

[cjk0318]

what do you mean?

There is still garland to install over the streets. It won't host wreaths (hence why they're dangling over the sidewalks now.) and it will be retractable.

They need to cut down all of the trees on Main St. they are a distraction from the new wreaths.

I liked the wreaths strung across main street more, but I like the idea of bigger floats even more and find the new wreaths to be an acceptable solution.

Wow, that will be interesting to see in action.

In my view, the size of the white brackets mess with the perspective of the castle from what I can see from the photos. Maybe in person it doesn't mess with your eyes. I like the wreaths. They feel traditional. In the end, I think decorations should accentuate your design and not become the attraction themselves. Except for displays like the Osborne lights. That's different. I was not a fan of the garlands overhead.

Here are two images from a few moments ago.

Retractable garland??? I can't wait to see this tomorrow...

I like the concept, but the wreaths look underwhelming on those giant hangers.
Size and proper proportions matter, no matter what others might say.

Only two are plugged in today. I will take more pics as it gets darker.
