Mickey's Magical Party (until 7th March 2010)

Ha - I just noticed that too Maarten. I just hope we have OUR OWN commercials!

The decoration theme seems to match that planned of the American parks too (party banners and bright colours). Such an interesting idea to be able to visit on your birthday for free. It's not much of an offer as you will bring loads of people along with you, but a great tactic!

Which leads me to ask... I guess DLRP won't be running this promotion, even though it'd make a lot of sense?

One of the lamps that will decorate Main Street next year has been spotted backstage:

Can you say cheap and tacky looking :shock: , goodbye classy 15th, in comes a year of annoying rainbow colours, though suppose it could have been worse. :? .

Couldn't agree more it isn't too bad but is nothing compared to the Lumiere 15th signs - they are stunning. I would have thought Mickey's 80th would have been a tad more nostalgic....?

*Sigh*

Are we ever going to see Main Street USA how it should be again? :roll:

The lamp itself looks okay, though a little tacky. I'm not sure how well it will fit with Main Street. I can't imagine bright rainbow colours looking good. :?

It would loook better without all the ribbons I think.

Good lord. :shock:

That is too hideous for words. Please tell me it's not finished... Everything about that is wrong. EVERYTHING.

The red theme of the logo, etc. is so much nicer. I think it's about time we got the advertising guys to do the actual entertainment and decorations as well.

Wait 'til you see the Main Street Station and Castle decorations! :roll:

I will say that except for the random mess around the pole... I like the concept...

If the Streamers were Tidier I think they'd be better... Not so random they look like a Pinata has thrown up on it.

Organization and Thought could make it look tidier (Instead of a rainbow thrown up upon it why not just 2 colours 'Swirling'... If someone doesn't get my idea... I'll create a concept sketch with maybe a few more 'surprises' and thoughts... Or perhaps I'll just do it and post it in the Sorcerers Workshop) although not what many here would want... But Then I cannot see the return of "Classic Main Street" for the foreseeable future

Ouch, thats even uglier then I expected. Isn't there anyone who has a sense of style and taste overthere in Marne-la-Vallee and who could have prevented this from happening?! If you would like to excuse me, I feel sick... :|

Again, they're not celebrating Mickey's birthday. He's just throwing a party. :wink:

Quotewho could have prevented this from happening

This is another creation by wanna-be Imagineers. DLRP Entertainment should stick to what they do best: shows, parades, characters, ENTERTAINMENT. Leave decorations to people who are trained and experienced to do so: Imagineers. Take a look at Belle's Christmas Village (designed by EDLI) and compare it to most of the Halloween decorations... (Remember the Pink Witches decorations last year??)
And those beautiful Fab 5-shaped pumpkins at Disney Village, those are sculpted on property by the department at DLRP that designs and custom builds all the Disney figures for the shop windows. The difference in quality is HUGE.

It looks....erm.....not quite what I was expecting. :lol:

Kris · October 14, 2008, 06:41:59 PM

Whatever happened to subtlety? Even the same design but a more careful consideration for the colour scheme would've been an improvement. Those dark reds looked quite classy and would've been fine for Main Street... not all these garish colours right through the core of the park

Nala_84 · October 15, 2008, 10:53:56 AM

I'd also have aspected a more classy, retro-looking decoration style for that. Maybe I won't miss anything when I'm not able to go to DLRP in 2009?!
