Certainly a lot better than another random meet & greet. That said, this isn't really something new for Disney parks. They've been doing this exact type of thing in Tokyo Disneyland since they started celebrating Easter a few years back. It's nice to see that it's made its way stateside, and hopefully it will continue in the future (perhaps keeping the decorations up for 2-3 weeks rather than just 1). And is it just me, or does it seem like they're having the LTM events less frequently now. For the first few weeks, they did something every week. A couple weeks ago we had the Dapper Dans, but other than that I don't think I've heard what they've been up to at either resort since around the time the Golden Horseshoe show closed.
