Wasn't just MK, resort decor was cut in half as well. Hopefully more makes a return this year, wouldn't count on it of course. They tout all these holiday meals in the restaurants and stuff and then no decor.
I would say they at least improved at Animal Kingdom over the past few years.
I've only seen videos' but I would argue that AK wins best overall Holiday Decor. So much so that we are even planning to do our first trip during the Christmas Season just so we can see it in person.
The Merry Menagerie looks amazing, plus all the themed holiday decorations throughout. Even Pandora gets in on the fun. Love it.

Same here, Disneyland and WDW's Christmas Parades feel much natural st nighttime compared to the day.

Maybe someone with more insight can enlighten me. I understand not paying money for the live decorations. But the lights and other decor is artificial. Don’t they already have the stuff sitting somewhere? They are just saving the labor costs of hanging it up?

Yes. All the different holiday decorations, along with parade floats, etc., are in a warehouse behind Splash Mountain. The Keys to the Kingdom tour takes you back there.

That is just incredibly cheap. Just pay the crew another night to put up the rest of it.

A significant portion is apparently replaced annually. They cycle through.

I think that could have been part of the issue, I’m not sure when holiday services was called back and if/when they got back to full staffing, it was probably easy for them to say “don’t worry about the restaurants this year” and focus on the other decorations needed. That’s my hope at least. They did bring back a lot of Halloween stuff to MK this year that was missing the last two years, so that could be something.

The holiday services warehouse is not behind splash mountains. Floats yes.
It is by the monorail barn.
They're saving costs on labor by not being able to find enough laborers.

They can’t keep the ones working who put up the bulk of the seasonal decorations?

MK Christmas install is complete, now I begin my detective work to see if they went back to 2019 levels

So far I’ve been able to tell that the ice cream parlor got it’s missing decor back, that’s a good start

Wonder if anyone is at Crystal Palace this a.m.

Close enough.
Technically, it's behind the monorail barn coming from the MK.

Update: MK has seen Christmas decorations return to Liberty Square, Frontierland, and parts of New Fantasyland that have been missing since 2020.
