News Round Up 2018

Each person has their own preferences. While I liked the wreaths a part of me really likes being able to look down Main Street and see the castle without the wreaths interfering.

I really like the arches they do now.

I really wish they still had the wreaths across Main Street.

I wish they still did the arches at Epcot.

I. was there last year over Halloween week. Literally the decor went from Halloween one day and overnight became Christmas. It was totally unbelievable! An army of people must have worked tirelessly.

Christmas decorating at Disney is such a Choreographed deployment, I feel like someone there at Disney could give you a Minute by minute break down of things such as. "1:20 am place 356 wreath in Fantasy Land 1:21 am test power to strand PP32" I would love to see there punch list and schedule. But I am sure that is just me.


In any case, I can understand how it might be harder for Families to go to Disney on a constant basis, as it is harder to plan for the unexpected expenses when you have a family with kids, but as a person who is married without children, Disney is alot easier to afford and the unexpected expenses are alot less so me and the wife are able to go 3 to 4 times a year. We sometimes do it on a budget, sometimes we go all out, we sometimes rent DVC sometimes we use our AP discounts. Regardless of the expense though we go as I am sure many others go to Disney, because it is our happy place and allows us that sigh of relaxation that a good vacation should give to people. I think that sigh and the smiles is why so many of us can justify the "expense" that is Disney

I was actually a little bummed (and Cindy is my favorite!). Besides the addition of fairy godmother and some background gingerbread work, the display is identical to last year

My mom is a big Dooney person but she can’t justify buying a holiday Dooney since you can only really use it for a limited amount of time.

good point - guess you could use it heavily in December and if you are the type to go to a lot of holiday parties it could get used, but definitely make sense

My wife currently has 2 big and 2 small ones - one of each to use in fall & winter vs spring & summer and she seems good with that
