| What attractions... are decorated for Christmas? I'm assuming that HM still has it's overlay on. What about IASM? Any others?

| HM does not do the overlay at WDW only DL. Most of the attractions do not change for Christmas, although there are a multitude of outside decorations, most notably the Castle and it's "ice" covering.

| As far as I know, there are no overlays on the attractions at WDW -- there used to be one on the Country Bears, but that was discontinued a few years ago. IllumiNations has an additional section at the end (with a song, extra fireworks, and holiday felicitations projected onto Spaceship Earth.) They add in the storytellers around World Showcase (telling you about the festivities and holiday traditions in their countries) and the Candlelight Processional. The parades at the MK, AK, and Studios are themed for the holidays as well. The Studios also has the Osborne Lights. There are holiday decorations everywhere and holiday music playing at the parks and resorts. It's a lovely time to be at The World. Eileen

| The biggest overlays are probably Cinderella Castle and the Osborne Family Festival of Dancing Lights at Studios, but those don't count as attractions in the normal sense. They used to do an overlay for Country Bear Jamboree, but they discontinued a couple of years back. You'll see some holiday decorations sneaking onto some attractions (an ornament here, an ornament there), but WDW doesn't do full-fledged attraction overlays like Disneyland has on Haunted Mansion Holiday and Its A Small World (not that we don't all wish they did it, but it seems holiday business is good enough that they don't have to go to the extra trouble and expense an attraction overlay requires - shutting down the attraction for weeks before and after the holiday season, all the labor, etc.). Personally, I think what they do is so good (between special parades, fireworks, shows, overall decoration, etc.) that one or two "overlay" attractions would be "lost in the sauce." It's a bit different at Disneyland, since they have just the two parks. WDW might need one or two in each park to get the same effect.

| Thanks. For some reason I thought WDW did the overlays as well. I guess that gets DH off the hook for going through IASW with me, huh? I'll cut him the slack then. I guess if I don't do RnRC then he shouldn't have to do IASW!
