The thematically appropriate character overlays are infuriatingly jealousy-inducing. They get the princes on their float, as well as what looks like a fully-staffed dance crew (which ALSO performs on normal days.) Hans, Oaken and the Duke of Weselton are out, as well as Elsa in her blue holiday dress and… the Frost Fairies from Fantasia, apparently?! The Mickey’s Christmas Carol variants are out there, too. Total madness. They’re also doing what is essentially the Tiana dessert party they used to have for free with live entertainment several times an evening. Jack and Sally (and the Mansion overlay).
What does WDW have that this one doesn’t? Fireworks, I guess. And, even as a big fireworks guy, I’d say that this one positive does not come close to competing.
