On the small christmas site again no word about the studio's.
I really hope they bring more christmas decorations and other christmas items in the studio's
because it's really sad there, never get a christmas feeling in the studio's.
I suppose there is a chance that the Imagineers, overseas or otherwise, have incorporated Christmas decorations in their designs for Toy Story Playland. Oversized ornaments, that sort of thing. (The oversized Christmas lights are already in place.) I certainly hope so, because indeed, Christmas at the Studios has been one depressing affair so far.
I just hope the "Christmas market" and its glorious archway won't return.
Quote from: "pussinboots"its glorious archway won't return.
That´s so sweeet that you directly named the most romantical part of the studios christmas :lol: :lol: :lol:
I really hope they understand that also the studios need a proper christmas overlay. It´s so hard to see this "We do our very best and we tell you: From season to season it will be better and better" christmas with all this sad looking things.
I need a BIG tree, I need snow, I need a hollywood christmas!
Enchantment!

My god, that thing is ugly! That is pretty disgraceful. That is by far the worst thing I've seen Disney do.

I agree, you would think with all the glitz and glammer of Hollywood they could come up with something better
Oh no, I wasn't able to go last year, but am going this December - is that the best they can do! C'mon Disney get the glam out for a hollywood Christmas feeling
That is truly disgusting, the studios have so much potential to pull of a glamorous, hollywood style christmas. I hope this year is better.
If you believe everything you read - then the French based DCP forum is suggesting that €200,000 was put aside for Christmas Lights/Decorations at WDS this year.
Whether that is True, Rumour, Fact or Fiction remains to be seen.
I always find the decorations in the Studios rather sad, particularly after coming from Disneyland where everything's so beautiful and magical.
Of course the Studios are already less magical, but there are still some areas that could be nicely decorated. Why they don't make better use of the Hollywood Blvd, for example, I'll never understand!
That picture of the "magical arch of dreams" just shows how bleak the Studios are in winter ! I never mind Disneyland Park in the freezing cold , as it always looks so beautiful , but the Studios have all the appeal of standing in a Tesco car park on a cold December morning !! Those bare trees should be covered in decorations or lights , lets see what happens this year :D
Hey guys!
Anyone know if the (B) Walt Disney Store in the front lot is going to be transofrmed into a christmas shop like it was in 2008? Or is it going to remain teh same this year? :twisted:

The area closest to the park's entrance is currently being decorated for Christmas (along with parts of the DV Disney Store and the Emporium). I'd guess it'll remain limited to that room.

Don't worry !!!! We usually go for Christmas and it is just amazing , Disneyland is absolutely beautiful with the decorations , but the Studios sorry to say does lag behind ! You will have a fantastic time , by the way it is cold , and I mean very very cold ! so wrap up well !
Why does Toon Studio not get similar decorations to Toontown at Disneyland CA;

What a wasted opportunity.
I have to say that I don't like the Christmas decoration in the studios. In my opinion it looks just cheap, but it looks nice in Toontown at DL.
The decorations in WDS are really dissapointing... When we were there it was all grey and raining and empty, it made it look even worse!!

They lack a bit of colour... A bit of magic, really.
At least the Christmas section in the shop looks a bit brighter!

Even the decorations in the shop are quite unimaginative though. Just some lights strung across the ceiling? Oh well, maybe they'll do better next year.

only trouble is, that we say the same every year and seeems to get worse?
Thanks for the photos never2old! Yes, still looks like it's sponsored by the local garden centre. And a funeral directors in the Chessy area is missing its tree again. Could that thing look any more depressing?
How can there be such a massive void between the Disneyland Park decorations and this? And I don't suppose Toy Story Playland got an extra oversized bauble or two, like we hoped all through construction.
At least there's the Studio 1 overlay, always fantastic.
Even a colour change would make a difference - doesn't look very Christmassy being all white and clinical! Make it look more like a log cabin/cottage/street, with snow on top?
Those decorations look dismal !!!! The Studios must be given hardly any budget for Christmas , it really is the most depressing place on a cold wet winter day !
The studios should receive a proper decoration or none, but at the moment it looks really ugly, except for Studio 1.
Yugh! What everyone said. I can't believe they still haven't been able to do even a little better. I say this every year, but why not put the big tree some place where it will look good; anywhere between the Front Lot archway and the Hollywood Boulevard backdrop for example? And why are there only four decorations in it? This looks like an IKEA parking lot dressed up for the day-after-Christmas sale. Which I say every year as well. But it's sad that I have to.
So there's nothing at all in Toy Story Playland? Have they not informed the Seasonal Entertainment people about the new areas of the park this decade?
Last week I stand in front of a wonderful christmas windows at the karstadt department store in my city. I was that happy about it that I decided to give the karstadt christmas market inside a chance. It was the most depressing thing I ever saw in my life. till now. How can they dress up the studios like this??? I simply don´t understand this. WHO makes this horrible decorations!?
Hi there! (My first post)...
I was there on Sunday and definitely agree there is no real christmas feel to the studios park. Boo!
After my annual christmas trip to paris (no, not disneyland, just paris) I know now again where they have their inspiration for the christmas market. It´s the big christmas market at av. des champs elysée. It not just a big one, it´s also one of the most ugliest christmas markets. It´s there since some years and they use similar white boxes for selling similar low quality stuff (that hasn´t to do anything with a christmas market you know in germany).
Ile de france simply hasn´t a big tradition in christmas markets. So how should they know that ugly white boxes in a row aren´t a christmas market. But for disney that no excuse. They shouldn´t make the parisian christmas markets as a spring of inspiration.
Champs Elysée christmas market:

See the diffrence?
But as anthony said the question is, why do they choose this christmas market thing for the studios. Shouldn´t they think more hollywood?
