Well, booked for Christmas and can't wait !  The garlands seem like a nice way of enhancing the Christmas decoration around Main Street.

Yesterday I see that the Christmas lights are up on the castle.
Unfortunately just like last year, only the lights on the rooftops ant not on the main tower and the front of the castle.

How beautiful is our castle, isn't it?

Why do they always put them on so early? They do this at WDW too.

Exited to see all the videos on YouTube.

Added the Belle meet 'n' greet at The Old Mill and put Belle's Christmas Village under "not returning".

[DLRP Roundup!]

Thanks for summary! Will be the first Christmas for me in DLP. I'm glad it all runs quite early in November.

[Josh]

The snowmen sound like a good idea; like a Christmas variant of the Halloween ghosts. And I'm glad that the princess columns are gone. It's a shame, though, about the new Christmas tree not being used yet. The old one is starting to look... well... old.

[kelly.dylan]

Quick question, if the princess columns on the lights have gone does that mean no snow this year? Or will they just have the bell chimes? Didn't they light up when it was about to snow?

[Josh]

Yes, but the columns aren't used to make the snow. The snow machines are hidden on the roofs of Main Street.

Yes, but the columns aren't used to make the snow. The snow machines are hidden on the roofs of Main Street.

Yeah i knew they were from the roof but was worried that maybe if the Princess columns were going they werent going to bother with the snow either! Much prefer the fake stuff

[Kristof]

Yes, there will be snow on Main Street. I've updated the list.  :thumbs:

How often will be snow on Main Street, please?
