Note to self: Get Candlelight Reflections CD before you regret it. Hope for English version of Welcome to Christmas is on this year's album.

The site suggests that Twinkle Moment may be coming back. I just hope those are just images to suggest what to expect, but Twinkle Moment was a cute stage show, even if it wasn't on par with what TDL is known to be capable of doing as far as Live Entertainment goes.

What picture is the one with the guys in white suit jackes in front of a lit tree from? The one with the Santa Sled peaking in from the side. I don't recognize it.

According to the site, it`s the Big Band Beat Xmas Special. That thing peeking in from the side looks more like a car than a sled to me

I hope there's more coming as well. I've been there for the past 2 years in early November and look forward to a different experience each year.

Re: Xmas at TDR 2007

The problem is OLC is focasing big time on the 25th Anniversary now and any of the events in between are likely to be repeats Christmas, Candlebration etc or small offerings like a la carte which was mainly a food and merchadise event. Sadly we're are going to have to acept this and hope that the 25th Anniversary year is going to blow us away and make the current weak offerings seem worth it.

Through I must credit OLC for the good job its done this year on Halloween and the Summer Night time shows.

Re: Xmas at TDR 2007

So Joe.. this time it's Cinderellabration's finale for real??? And I am surprised they are bringing back "Season of the Heart".

And I am surprised they are bringing back "Season of the Heart".

I'm not. It was a cute Valentines Day/Month event that can only be expanded from what they had. Or at least I hope they expand it...

Anyone know if they changed the soundtrack to Christmas Dreams on Parade? If they did, I hope they use the Dreams of Christmas soundtrack

Re: Xmas at TDR 2007

I will be visiting both Tokyo Parks in November (12th & 14th), I will miss seeing the Halloween theming (which I saw in 2005 and TDL does a great job!) but hopefully will see all the Christmas theming of the parks.

Does DisneySea do any Christmas Themeing or is it all in Tokyo Disneyland?

PS, Joe in Tokyo, I love your site.

Re: Xmas at TDR 2007

TDS celebrates Christmas with is annual "Harborside Christmas" event, which runs at the same time as TDL's "Christmas Fantasy" event. At TDS, look for Xmas decor, merchandise, special menus, and some extra special entertainment. The daily shows offer christmas versions that are not to be missed, especially "Big Band Beat"s xmas version. At night... BraviSEAmo! plays first, then later before the park closes... a more solemn Xmas lagoon show takes place. It's called "Candlelight Reflections".
Over at TDL... the Xmas parade performs daily, and a Xmas version of Dreamlights will play. There will be nightly castle illumination ceremonies and lot of Xmas decor, merchandise and special menus to warm your heart thru the season.
Merry Christmas at TDR!!!

As a matter of fact, I expect to be at TDR myself on November 14th to check out the festivities at both parks.

Thanks for the kind words Robert TG. Tokyo DisneySea's annual "Harborside Christmas" features decorations and events. Take a look at some pics:

So because this is the Grand Finale will TDL be offering an extra song or something. Like TDS did when Porto Paradiso finished for good.

Re: Xmas at TDR 2007

Thanks Joe!! I wonder how "little" the Christmas story story at Cape Cod will be...

Re: Xmas at TDR 2007

So will Over the Waves not be getting a Christmas version this year?

[ZeekSlider]

Re: Xmas at TDR 2007

"Aloha Christmas?" Oh boy... here's hoping they made Frenchie into a rubberhead, as well as the one cousin that makes ice and snow. (Yes, I've watched the show at one point or another, what about it?)

Malin, I think the Little Christmas Story is going to take Over the Waves place for the season.

Bleh...I'm so sick of Stitch.
