Just like every year Christmas decorations are now in place in Main Street in Central Plaza and the huge Christmas tree also to welcome the guests in Town Square.

The Christmas parade began Friday with only one of the two new floats of this year. The second float was not ready yet and will be presented in the coming days. At the moment, the new float of Max, Pluto or even Clarabel offers some height at the parade. That said, the difference of design between the old and the new floats is visible. Indeed, we have the feeling to see a float of Tokyo Disneyland parachuted in Paris! Changing the design of differents elements of the other floats using fake snow could be a solution for more consistency. Moreover, when it will include the float missing with the three little pigs, the parade will be worthy of a Christmas parade. In the meantime, here is the videoof the Christmas parade!

At Frontierland, the water is back in the lake which is now filed with a clear transparent water - what a change! The water lever was not yet at its peak when Max shot the pictures on Friday.

At Chaparral Stage, the Frozen show is back as well as the Frozen market place!

Let's move to Discoveryland to have a look at the works going on there.

The dome of Space Mountain is currently being repainted, and it shows!

...but of course it's at Star Tours that most of the works are happening. Canvas have disappeared on the building that will serve as meeting point with the Star Wars characters. The roof remain to be completed, for now the metal structure which will be the support of X-Wing still appear. The ground surrounding this building is now in asphalt to the difference from the rest of the paved area. The metal structure of the entrance to the attraction are now installed. The entrance in the show building has also now changed, with two separate corridors and a less important ceiling height. Moreover, the path of the outdoor waiting area is changed to direct to the expansion waiting area to be used during the days with lots of visitors.

At Videopolis, the jungle Bells band is back on stage for a Christmas orchestra directed by Goofy an playing new interpretations of Christmas and Frozen tunes in a festive, dynamic and happy atmosphere!

And that's it for this new DLP update, more coming soon!
