Separation of church and state is solely about separation from the government. It has no bearing on private business's who can celebrate any holiday they wish.

Also to point out, Disney and many others push the pagan side of the holidays, not the religious side, with. The exception of the processional. Otherwise trees, presents, even the December date are all steeped in pagan symbology and tradition that was adopted back in the day to help covert people (although the origin of the Xmas tree is debated). Doesn't chafe your objections, just want to present the correct facts.

How much better would the ride be if it randomly chose different locations to soar over. One time it may be California, the next the UK or the next Australia. Whilst having multiple films may be costly to produce, surely as one person mentioned in this thread that Soarin was a great advert for California, national tourist boards would help fund the production costs.

I know here in Australia we spend 10's of millions of dollars every year promoting tourism down under. What better way than this to show off your country.

Now that Horizons is gone, Soarin is our only source for that orange smell

Some companies allow "floating" holidays that would allow you to work the National holiday, such as Christmas, and allow you to take the holiday at another time so as to allow you to celebrate your religious holiday. Would your company allow you to do this? This would benefit both the company and the employee, especially if the company operates 24/7 or 7 days a week. It doesn't hurt to ask, if your company does not close for holidays.
