Christmas attractions?

[Rajah]

I know they retheme Jungle Cruise (just learned about that), but are there any other attractions at MK that get the Christmas theme? They used to do Small World and Country Bears

Disneyland did (and does) redo Small World.
(WDW never did.)

WDW doesn't do the Country Bears Christmas Special anymore.

Nothing else at MK gets an overlay. Disneyland does that more often, whereas WDW tends to stick with the traditional versions of attractions. There will of course be a ton of decorations and such and the Christmas Party has a special parade and fireworks show. That's really it though.

Ok, thanks!

Out of curiosity, why don't they do more retheming and such? Is it a money thing, or a "PC" thing so as not to upset those who don't celebrate? Both? I was a bit surprised when we went down last year for the first time at the holidays. I had a fabulous time, but outside of the Osborne Lights, I was a bit surprised how subtle the Christmas stuff was.

We only know what the Disney replies to the question have been:
MANY more DLR guests are locals, and its nice to have a "draw" for local holiday-returning guests.

Many WDW guests are first/only-timers or out-of-towners, so they don't want the extended down times of holiday-converting and then RE-converting back to normal of classic attractions.

It's like what Robo said, many WDW visitors are once-in-a-lifetime guests. If I was only ever going to go to Disney once and I went and th eHAunted Mansion was not the usual experience I might be a tad upset. Conversely, if I live in SoCAl and have a resident pass and go to DL all the time, I might like them to change it up some since I can recite all the attractions by heart.
