Lights of Winter - Cancelled This Year?!?
I just read that Lights of Winter, the holiday light display in Epcot leading from FW to WS, has been cancelled for this year...
Can anyone confirm this?

This has been confirmed on another site.
Lights of Winter confirmed as cancelled
Nov 11, 2009
Further to the news a few days ago that the Lights of Winter may be cancelled, it is now being confirmed to cast members at Epcot that the Lights of Winter are indeed not going to be shown.

this really isn't a big deal....
however....why do they bother "cancelling" a bunch of lights on poles that they have in storage....
can't pay the maintenance guy an extra 2 hours a day to change out bulbs?

It is called providing a less magical experience to the guest but expecting said guests to pay more and more money.
Let's stop defending mediocrity out of Disney and hold Disney to the higher standard they set up themselves.

Well that really stinks! We'll be in WDW Dec. 3-8 and it will be my Dbf's first trip this time of year. Just the other night I was telling him about all the holiday decorations and whatnot, and I told him about the Lights of Winter and how neat they were. Guess I'll have to retract that info! Thanks, Disney! Is there anything left in Epcot for the holidays besides CP and Santas around the World?

I'm really glad we're not going for Christmas this year. I'd just be irritated every time I walked from FW to WS.

I agree with you completely on this one. The Christmas cutbacks especially have been really, really egregious. They've jacked prices up 50% or more for just about everything while at the same time cutting back about 50% of the offerings.
Miserable.

as long as there is a stock market and completely unregulated, discretionary corporate payscales....
we are not gonna see the end of this.
don't suppose bill gates or the sultan of brunei would bother to gobble up all the outstanding stock and then put me in charge, would they?
nah....probably not

This saddens me because my wife and I are planning on going for Christmas 2010. Who knows what will be gone by then???

Aw, man. All these little things add up to big disappointment. Really how much are they saving by this?

It does not seem that the lights that are being discussed would be that big of an expense. Am I way off base here?
-
Oh I love those. During Christmas is the only time I take that route to WS from FW. So sad. I also just don't see what they save by not doing this. If WDW is the same during the holidays as every other day, then what is the point of a special December trip?
Here you leave Today and enter the World of Yesterday, Tomorrow, and Fantasy
Next Trip-February 5th-16th! Happy V-day to me!

I was there for MNSSHP and noticed cutbacks there too...

Pretty sure Disney's got over 5,000,000 Christmas lights lit up for over 3 hours a night every night at Studios down the street, not to mention icicle lights on Cinderella Castle every night. Anybody else but me pretty aware about how much those little lights jack up an electric bill? I know Disney's a multi-billion dollar corporation but they can't just flip a switch to turn those things on for free. The lights at Epcot paled in comparison to the other two anyway.

What's next? We'll see...
