I believe it is a Lightship Entertainment produced show, so they probably shot material for it when they were filming at the Park for the WDW Christmas Parade a few weeks ago. I think Lightship also does the WDW Christmas parade specials now.

Travel and food shows about Disney lack critical opinions and insight. Try having some opinions about it. It will make you think and appreciate the parks better. These days, I'm rather sour on the Disney experience.

Originally Posted By land fan Just an observation: Disneyland's Christmas decorations on Main St. look so much nicer than WDW's M.K. Main St. decorations. DL's Town Square Christmas tree and ornaments are beautiful. MK's tree is old and tacky looking. Even the garlands and wreaths are prettier at DL. Yes, Cindy's castle in FL. looks great covered in lights, but Main St. at DL looks way better this time of year. Hats off to the decorating department!
Originally Posted By FerretAfros Pert of the reason DL's look so much better is everything is a lot newer. I don't know the exact date that they got those ornaments, but I remember them being there for a trip in 97. Having a fake tree also doesn't help make the ornaments look better. DL gets new ornaments every year, and real trees are much more forgiving since they are pretty interesting to look at on their own, compared to the perfect triangle trees in WDW. DL also got all new garlands and such for Main Street either last year or the year before, so it's still really fresh. WDW's looks like the same stuff they've been putting out there since the 70's (even if they have replaced it since then). Decorating styles change with time, but WDW's holiday decor is a relic of the past, while DL does a pretty good job of keeping with the times and keeping it timeless at the same time.
Originally Posted By land fan You'd think M.K. could shell out a few bucks for some new decorations. It's probably the same stuff from 1971! I'll give them some credit for the castle lights, but its so typical of that park to cut corners every way they can. From the cliff note versions of Pirates of the Caribbean and People mover to their Christmas tree, they've elevated corner cutting into a whole new artform!
