Interesting. That will be quite elaborate if done.
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.
Oh, they were tall. No Garland for the Live Christmas Day Parade in 1991. From what I've seen online: a YT video of MVMCParade from MVMCP in 1992 with no garland(garland was on the Christmas Day Parade that year), A shorted MVMCParade as the Day Parade the first half of Dec 1993 I'm guessing the garland was up the whole month then.Not that tall.
As WDWMagic has stated, he is almost sure these "additions" are in fact replacements. If you could explain your "inside" info, it would be much appreciated...
I'm taking these straight from the mouth of a very trusted source/confidant inside the parks. He mentioned this on Thursday to me. If (and that's a strong if) it doesn't come to fruition, don't shoot the messenger.Interesting. That will be quite elaborate if done.

They always removed the garland for filming purposes and also waited to put the tree in town square until after the parade was tapped. Didn't have anything to do with the float heights.Oh, they were tall. No Garland for the Live Christmas Day Parade in 1991.

As always there are as many people who like the new decorations as there are those who dislike them....par for the course , right? Here is the thing, when we go to WDW we want to be in awe. The decorations were one of those things that TDO doesn't have to go o the cheap for. They don't get paid or take vacations or get health benefits. I am actually Ok with the wreaths. But make it up in other ways. Knock my socks off. I mean they are not as costly as say pyro are. SOme garland.....some lights, throw in some balls. IMO when you come thru the train station and head up main street should be able to smell Christmas it looks so good. Forget about all the doom and gloom stuff. This.....this is really where Disney has the chance with very little resources to show us and say.....see!......this is what you cam for! I mean d a m m TDO. Is it that much to ask?
DHS has so little to ffer these days, how about making that the Christmas village every year till they get that house in order? Christmas in Hollywood theme? Spend a few bucks and make it a must see. With all the decoration cuts there must be an entire warehouse full of the stuff.
I can over look a lot of things if they just would at least look like they are trying to make up for it. Colored lights are a more traditional decoration. All one colored lights is a more recent tradition.
I would prefer the second.If the brackets were not so huge in relation to the wreath it would be a better effect, Alternatively they could have done larger wreaths and more of them. Or just run the christmas parade INSTEAD of FoF for the duration.
Back then, the parades were live on TV and there was Garland, I have the tapes. Except for 1991 when Surprise Celebration ran on Christmas Day because the 20th just started.They always removed the garland for filming purposes and also waited to put the tree in town square until after the parade was tapped.

Perhaps for the live taping. But the cameras they use now films above mainstreet so the garland would block the view. Disney would remove the garland for the taping and put it back up after the taping was over. The new parade is the tallest in magic kindom history.Back then, the parades were live on TV and there was Garland, I have the tapes.
