Looks interesting, no doubt, but I'm not feeling the little snowman right now. Guess I'll just have to wait and see, I may end up loving him.

I saw "Toy Story presents The Nutcracker" on the final art. That should be fun!

This looks cool. I noticed the Toy Story and the nutcracker thing too and I am intrigued. I wish I could go to see it over the Christmas season, but I'll have to settle for someone posting a good video on here or on youtube.

What other "winter holidays" will be presented in this new show besides Christmas?... Chanunkah? Kwanzaa? Bodhi Day? Hogmanay? New Year's Day?
I just left the same basic question for the Kubicle Kids on the corporate blog to answer, or to ignore. But I think I know the answer to that question, so why can't he have the guts to just say the word "Christmas" while he wears a Santa hat?

He's Norwegian, so he has a Norse accent, not German. The upcoming film Frozen, where this snowman is featured in, is based on the famous Scandinavian literature of Hans Christian Andersen.

I hope this youtube video isn't more exciting than the announcements of new stuff at D23...

Thanks for the info. So you're saying he'll sound just as ridiculous as the Malestrom accents at Epcot?

Very likely.

I don't believe Olaf has an accent. He's voiced by Josh Gad, and my friends who have seen some reels from the film say he's a breakout character. Steve is a smart guy - if the character was annoying as hell, I doubt he'd choose him to tie the show together. Plus, can we all be grateful that a non-Pixar Disney animated film is getting some parks love?
And @TP2000, I'm sure Hanukkah and Kwanzaa will make appearances. Believe...in Holiday Magic, it's a small world Holiday, Haunted Mansion Holiday...noticing a theme here?

Does anyone think they'll include Prep & Landing in Winter Dreams? I'd like to also see them incorporate The Nightmare before Christmas characters as well in this show? While I have no desire to see Frozen in theaters (yes I saw the Japanese and French trailers, still not hooked), it should be the best segment of this show. I think a really good transitioning scene would be right where the Frozen scene concludes then you can have some effect that makes the lagoon frozen like an ice rink and from there lead into the scene from the Bambi film where Thumper and Bambi are Ice skating (well at least thumper was). I wonder if they'll also include the nutcracker suite scene from Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas film. It's nice to see a spectacle of this stature being tinkered around with and constantly updated.

I'm glad Toy Story is finally getting some representation in the parks. Maybe they'll do a Christmas Winter Statutory Holiday Finding Nemo part too?

I'm not sure why we have this absurd PC issue in America of all places. Christmas is pimped here like nobody's business for months on end in a very obvious fashion, but despite the overriding bias of cultural preference, people live in genuine fear of saying the word in public.
Which is why we get crap like the "Merry Christmas law"...in the summer.
Everybody knows the holiday Disney promotes is Christmas (and yes, I know there are small, small references to Chanunkah at Disneyland, but let's not kid ourselves what's Mickey's favourite). It's insulting to my intelligence to imply otherwise with fake-inclusive terms like "holiday" or "winter celebration".
