Originally Posted By Bellella But seriously, if the truth be told, the Small World Christmas overlay was a bit much, and the only reason I liked Haunted Mansion Holiday was because it was a lot less frightening. I think it would be a bit superfluous to do a holiday overlay for the Tiki Room, but as long as they keep the original show running the rest of the year...

I don't know if they're still doing it since the refurb, but the next-to-last room on the ride (the America room now) was covered with black drapes, and holiday banners were hanging from the ceiling. That was the only part of the decorating scheme that didn't seem excessive.

Originally Posted By Bellella That's true. But I've always found the Small World holiday overlay a little too gaudy. It's way better during the rest of the year (yes, even with the invasive characters.)
Originally Posted By TMICHAEL Bellella, you really seem to have a difficult time when people don't agree with you. Lighten up a little. Most find Small World Holiday quite enjoyable, and far from gaudy.
