I really like how the garlands and lamp decorations on Hollywood Blvd and the things along Sunset really fit in with the theme. They may be tacky by modern standards, but they really add to the period theming of that part of the park. I just wish there was a better spot for that neat tree (I'm a huge fan of the Santa lights).

It may be tacky by today’s standards, though I don’t think so. It sure made Christmas fun. We would all get in the car and drive around to various towns just to see what their decorations were like. Ah… back in the day, things really were better!

Besides the terrible crowd levels, the strings of lights make it hard to enjoy the theming. As for the crowds, try going last thing at night or during "Fantasmic!". You risk not seeing any snowfall, but the "claustrophobia factor" is greatly reduced.

Right in front of the Chinese Theater at the dead center of the park ... where it used to reside before Disney built a giant pin shack. Just another casualty of really inept management.
