Do you think the 25th anniversary shows will return in January? As it says they will be replaced until the 8th of January suggesting they might come back

[claire2281]

The official press release is out with a little added extra - The Enchanted Advent Calendar will happen every morning in December in front of the castle.

[sunshine1]

Will the daily Christmas parade still happen this year, I wonder?

Only because the daily Halloween Cavalcade/parade is not happening this year due to 25th anniversary.

[NCC1701Q]

Yes, but not 3 times a day but 2 times a day.

Yes, but not 3 times a day but 2 times a day.

Thanks!

I'm Dutch. Let me see what I can do for you.... (This is all roughly translated!)

25 Reasons why Disney this winter will be amazing.

1. To do new things.
Disney celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, but this years Christmas will be extra special, because of the many many Christmas shows and decorations.

2. There will be an all new Disney Stars On Parade as well.

3. To be shot into space.
Space Mountain was turned into Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain. This legendary rollercoaster has both the Star Wars soundtrack and all the special light effects.

4.To watch the princesses dance.
Tinkerbell will lead the princesses in front of the castle in a musical fairytale, named The Starlit Princess Waltz.

5. To taste a unique Christmas atmosphere.
Mickey, Minnie and friends will (together with Santa) lead a happy Sing-A-Long and will light the giant Christmas tree on Townsquare.

6. The new show; Merry Stitchmas.
Stitch will be the host of a new magical show on the stage next to the castle. There will be loads of surprises. Mickey, Minnie and friends will teach Stitch the meaning of Christmas through songs.

7. To find your dark side.
Do you dare to take a picture with Darth Vader?

8. To re-explore Star Wars.
Go back in time and experience the highlights op the classic 2D-film Star Wars: Path of the Jedi.

9. To hug Santa (Only until Dec. 25th.)
This is your chance to take a selfie with Scrooge, Thumper and Miss Bunny. You can even meet Santa!

10. To watch the magic Christmas parade.
This parade makes a big comeback and spreads the magical winter all over the park. There is snow on Mainstreet USA and Mickey and Minnie will be preparing to celebrate Christmas in style together with singers and other Disney friends.

(THE CHRISTMASTREE WILL BE 24 METERS HIGH!)

11. To discover a galaxy far far away
Star Tours: The Adventure Continues will make a big comeback. There will be a 3D spacejourney, with over 70 (!) possible missioncombinations.

12. A new nighttime show: Goofy's Incredible Christmas

CHRISTMAS IN DISNEY
CHRISTMAS IN DISNEY HAS NEVER BEEN AS BIG AS THIS YEARS (NOVEMBER 11TH - JANUARI 7TH). IN WDS GOOFY WILL TURN THE HOLLYWOOD TOWER OF TERROR INTO A SPECTACULAR NIGHTSHOW WITH SPECIAL EFFECTS, CALLED MAPPING TECHNOLOGY. DURING THE DAY, YOU CAN BUMP INTO DISNEY FRIENDS IN THEIR CHRISTMAS OUTFITS AND THERE WILL DAILY BE VARIOUS MUSICAL PRODUCTIONS ON PRODUCTION COURTYARD SQUARE.

20. To shop.
There will be exclusive 25th anniversary merch available.

21. To not miss any photo ops.
The photo points will lead you to the most amazing settings. There is also a photopass system, that lets you collect all your pictures and download them online.

22. To enjoy the winter nights.
After closing time, you can still wander around the Disney Village. You can watch Buffalo Bills show, eat at Vapiano's or dance in Billy Bob's Saloon.

23. To watch the fireworks
The new show Illuminations is more than just fireworks. Mickey animates the castle with images of Disney classics, Star Wars and Pirates with numerous special effects.

24. To enjoy an extra hour of magic during the Extra Magic Time.
If you stay in a Disney hotel, you're allowed in the parks an hour early. What a service. Typical Disney.

25. To, to, to....
Let's be honest. The best reason to honour Disney with a visit is always your own reason to go.

Any mention of the Small World Christmas upgrade?

[claire2281]

No. It is closed for 11 days at the start of the Christmas season but general feeling is that's just a normal maintenance period as that isn't long enough to do the upgrade normally.

Hi there,

Off to Disneyland Paris in November, love reading about the Christmas stuff! Is there any news on if there will be any new floats for the Christmas parade as for previous years they have been adding to it each year!

The float with Huey, Dewey and Louie will be altered a bit, but no new floats this year.
But there are quite a few additions to the season, so we can't complain!

[Slimy yet satisfying]

Do we know if the garlands across main street will be up this year? I heard that the 25th floats were much taller so it wouldnt be possible.

Maleficent's flamethrower is also a problem there!

Don't think there's any official word yet, just speculation. Personally I think some of the floats are too high but it may be possible to put the garlands higher. Maleficent though would likely have to be flame-less down Main Street for the duration of the season too; that'd be way too risky.

It's likely that they won't be up because it clashes with the 25th anniversary decorations, who are staying.
The same as for Halloween.

Possibly.

Though with the 25th anniversary shows being sidelined for Christmas entertainment I wouldn't be surprised to see some of the decorations go too. We'll find out in a couple of weeks.

The shows indeed go, but the decorations arent.
This has already been confirmed by DLP themselves multiple times.
