From DLRP Today:

Breaking news just got in from Anthony who's currently at Disneyland Park. It appears that the Christmas Tree has been installed again on Town Square! Management broke with this tradition 2 years ago by placing it right next to the castle, upsetting almost the complete fan community.

Reason why the tree has returned to its traditional location isn't clear yet, but one reason could be the spreading of the crowds during the Tree Lightning Ceremony.

Be sure to keep an eye out on this article as Anthony will return this evening with photos.

wow i never thought this would happen

[Bambi]

Really hope this is true, I always thought the tree was much more effective in town square.....

[Kristof]

It IS true.  

[Anthony]

Much more tomorrow! (well, later today...) :wink:

[Dlrpfan]

that looks so cool there

[Bambi]

Well there's the proof!  I NEVER take anything for sure until I've seen it with my own eyes  :wink:
Many thanks for that photo-I'll be returning to Disney happier now I know the tree is back where it belongs!   :lol:

[miss disney fan]

just found this website, and this is my first mail to you all, i have been to disneyland a couple of times over the years and going back for the 15th brithday in november 2007, just like to say how lovely it is to see the christmas tree up again but its a shame about the archways being took down, counting the months till we go again.

welcome miss disney fan! i also loved the arches and think they should come back as they looked much more magical but i suppose the princess lights fit much better with EFC

I didn't like the fairytale lights last year much, but with the Christmas tree back where it belongs they look much better.  There's something very symmetrical and balanced about the street now, and when you're stood in the middle between the tall tree and castle it feels much more cosy and complete.

Also, having the tree there is better for the EFC since sometimes not everyone can fit on Central Plaza, and so they previously couldn't see it.  Now, there's two different icons to watch.

Btw, some Christmas entertainment times are now online: //http://www.disneylandparis.com/uk/disneyland_park/parades_and_shows/parade_schedule.htm

Walt Disney Studios will only have Christmas Ciné Folies and the Edelweiss music performances this year, unless something will appear mid-December like Winnie at DLP.

I don't know why, but I love it so much more in that position, it looks much nicer and gives a focal point at each end of Main Street, as compared to walking into the park and seeing nothing then seeing the castle dwarfing the tree, was never a nice effect in my eyes.  Now all I have to do is try to get there this year to see the thing in person, also the lights do seem rather nice now the trees up by viewing the photos, though still does not make any sense as to why they had to be up during Halloween.

:lol:  :lol:  :lol:

those screens hide the tree very effectively don't they???  :wink:

Wow, it looks so good at Town Square. I guess we were all right in the end, huh? Central Plaza felt like an unnatural place for the tree, so I am glad it returned to it's rightful place. Although I still dislike the ugly lamposts, I have to admit it looks less out of place now. Way to go Disney!

You know what I only just realised? I was watching the Christmas bit of the new DLRP DVD, and I realised there's NO father christmas in The Christmas Parade this year.  At least not during this week... maybe he's too busy sorting out the toys until the weekend?

We shall see...  :?

Santa will appear from Saturday.

This is due to casting issues, because Santa is taken from outside the EPC as offically he should to be able to speak a larger number of languages and able to do sign lanuage etc.
