Will the Billies still play in the Jamboree, or will they return to the GH?

Don't know if anybody has seen this, but here's a little more insight, from a trusted source, into the upcoming Christmas season at DCA. It also talks a bit on why there was no Halloween treatment.

Blue Sky Disney: Know Flakes...

Am I the only one who is ECSTATIC to walk through BVS during Christmas!? An opulent jazz aged Christmas complete with a Department store Santa...just PERFECT! One thing that has me "huh-ing" is the mention of color theming on the Cadillac Range...uh hopefully that means making them look snow capped, not decking them in vibrant shades of green and red.

I hope they don't make Cadillac Range snow-capped, I'll be heading there during the Christmas dates, and I'd like to see how it's supposed to look, seeing how it'll be my first trip to Cars Land.

I didn't see any mention of all the elaborate Toontown Christmas Decorations. Hopefully the toons will be decorating and showing their Christmas Spirit, too! Toontown is really a treat with each building, store, and house's own unique decorations (minus, of course the crappy WDW hand me down decorations that made their ugly West Coast debut, last year)

And what about New Orleans Square, will this land be decorated, too? Or will the Haunted Mansion be the only festive place in New Orleans Square this year? Sadly, the elaborate overhead lighting across the streets of New Orleans Square, were relegated to some rather plain lighting the last year or two. Will more of the merry disappear here?

Oh, I hope they don't either haha. I just suggested that since article mentioned nighttime color theming on Cadillac Range. If they are going to do that, I hope it's something like making them looked snowcapped (snowcapped red rocks are stunning in person btw) or something and not just have it in vibrant Christmas hues. And I think it's too late to hope to see Cars Land as is while visiting during the Holiday seeing as the whole land will be decked out in Christmas fun and playing mid century Christmas music classics in the background

I think we can all assume ToonTown and NoS will have their usual Christmas flair. The article also doesn't mention Critter Country, Frontierland, or Main Street and I think it's safe to say they'll all get their decorations for the season

I was OK w/ DCA not being done up for H'ween. I kinda want it to be plain for Xmas too... just for the first year so that all can see its' original beauty.

Colored spot lights on the range? Ugh. Next thing you know is that they will place projections on them. Either way, when Xmas comes to CL, I hope it is over-the-top, but tasteful.

I wonder if Nov. 12 was the target date all along and they expect big crowds for the first day. Otherwise, I don't understand why SoCal and SoCal Select APs are blocked out that day. I know it's Veteran's Day, but on other Monday holidays (Memorial Day or Labor Day, for instance), they blocked out the Sunday prior and treat the Monday like a typical Sunday for SoCal APs.

Anyway, I can't wait for my four-year-old to see Believe in Holiday Magic for the first time. Nov. 13 can't get here fast enough!

hopefully its back at the GH. seems the area at BTR fits more people but lately due to the offseason..its been very quiet and small crowds back there

[MarkILIS]

Despite Nov. 12 being announced as the official start of the Holidays, the schedule says Believe In Holiday Magic will be the fireworks show starting Friday, Nov. 9. Does anyone know if this is accurate and if that means it will snow on Main Street that night, too?

That's correct, fireworks for the whole weekend while other things such as the snow will wait until the official Monday start.
