Figures. The Iluminations poster is pretty much the first LE piece of merch that I’ve ever purchased. I was thrilled when it was still available. I fully expect to get a cancellation tomorrow.
I’ve been hoping they’ll take the release of season 2 as an opportunity to sell me all the Baby Yoda merch they didn’t have the first time (apparently for fear of spoilers).
I wonder if the adult size nuggets and fries will be returning soon. Although I don’t have a spot carved out on my next trip where I can fit a trip to deluxe in with the shortened park hours.
Shame, but not unexpected. If we weren't in a huge tourism/parks downturn, I'd be excited for them to close down the Disney Junior Dance party and Launch Bay and make the "Animation Courtyard" .. into a new attraction/land. The Launch Bay is such a waste of space, that served a purpose while DHS was waiting SWGE and Toy Story Land to be built .. just wish SWGE had space for behind-the-scenes M&G (so not to have to worry about 'immersion-breaking')
I think thats another piece to this. The park hours won't be very long. Its easy to turn off and on projectors for the short darkness periods vs. installing the lights for a small period of time.
So (unless that was reported earlier and I missed it) officially no MVMCP. As long as the parks are decorated up for Christmas, it will feel festive .. and the character cavalcades are basically like a mini-parade in each park it feels. I haven't witnessed them in person, but man .. I still say those are the best things that come out of this mess. I hope they stay into the next year for a while.
About what I was expecting. No party, no CP, and no gingerbread in the resorts. But still some nice decorations, character cavalcades, and food options! I’m psyched! The projections will be nice, definitely will miss the castle lights, but gives us something to look forward to for next year!
No change in hours at this time.
If the BlogMickey guy is reading this, I think it's safe to stop calling it a rumor when they take the sign down.
Oh but if they keep the projections on till 8-9 ish, it would make me reserve a table at CG.

Gets dark around 5-5:30 in the winter - so if they keep current closing time 6 PM) it will be not long, but they will likely extend hours for the actual holiday season (Thanksgiving and Christmas) as the # of locals will undoubtably rise. And they could well increase capacity by then as well.
