The festivities will run from November 11 – December 31, 2006 and promise to be even more magical than last year. Highlights include a host of new Holiday-inspired merchandise, sumptuous menus available throughout the Park and two Disney hotels, a meet and greet with Santa Claus at the Park and Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel, and Disney characters resplendent in their winter finery.

If anything, all the other disney magic kingdoms have a full blown christmas parade, so I would think HK should invest. Halloween too, but maybe that's asking too much. =) anyways, I hope they do! The new ceremony you described sounds good.

I believe there will be more budget next year for special events and with the new APs finally on sale there should be added impetus and incentive to get new product in for regular guests.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros "...and promise to be even more magical than last year." I would hope so. Didn't they completely skip out on Christmas last year. I'm not complaining about it, and I'm very happy that they are doing stuff for it this year, but they shouldn't compare it to absolutely nothing. That's like saying "If it's good enough for Six Flags..." and look where that got us.
