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.

Interesting. Haven't seen that myself. Probably missed it whilst at work. Bearing in mind the tree is still there'll be some extra Christmas sparkle added to the area even if the lamppost decorations etc remain.

So apparently Main Street will be decorated and there will still be garlands but the design team were told they have to fit in with the blue/silver theme of the 25th decorations. A video from DLP themselves mentions snow garlands so I suspect we're seeing all new decorations that take into account the size of Stars on Parade. Whether they're actually across the street I suppose depends upon realistically how high they can mount them.

And now we see all the decorations going up - including garlands! - in a blue/silver theme. Some look a bit odd at the moment when placed on the green grass but will look much better once there's a white floor in place.

Yaaaaay! Main Street photos would not be the same for our fam without the garlands.

According to @ED92, this year's Christmas Parade will feature a new soundtrack and some additional characters.

Yup! The toy factory float is being redesigned:



I'm a bit 50/50 on the soundtrack change just because I LOVE the ridiculously catchy current one but at the same time it will still be Christmas music so I'm sure it'll be great.

Mickeys lighting the christmas tree is only happening once and not twice an evening like the previous years.

Twice on weekends, once on weekdays. Same as last year.

Well having seen the preview of the new parade today the new song is also ridiculously catchy so I'm sold! XD

I went during the week last year and the year before and i am 99% that there were two shows as i would go to the second show as it would always be less busy than the first.

Having watched some of the first Christmas video's for this year, it's looking good, you can clearly see that whilst the decorations are now adopting the blue/silver theme of the 25th they are still the original Mickey head design of the last few years. Does this mean the taller floats of "Stars on Parade" wont be running or are the garlands higher up? Is the "Stars on Parade" parade not running at Christmas? Anyone?

It's running just fine and exactly the same as normal. 

Apparently our Main Street garlands have always been much higher than ones at the US parks so no issue at all with Stars on Parade (which looks amazing in the dark!)

Just came back and Christmas is amazing. There's so much entertainment going on, that it's almost impossible to experience everything in just 3 days. DLP really out did itself this year.

Any chance of a trip report?

It is called 'Christmas Is Here'.

Just heard it.
Sounds 'Grown Up' with a message to 'Love One Another.'

I wish that I could find the lyrics.

The new parade song is you tube.
