Spent most of my evening at the parks tonight and gonna say, I'm impressed.
- The Holiday Parade was great and made Superstar look like even more of a joke. It's still not as great as most Disney parades IMO, as it seemed a bit too slow and sparse at times, but was overall very enjoyable.
- The decorations across the parks in general were fantastic. This is my first time visiting the parks around the holidays and Hollywood, New York, London, Hogsmeade, and Seuss Landing stood out in particular.
- The Hogwarts show was also great. Projection mapping has been done to death at WDW but it's still relatively unique at UOR, meaning the show felt different than everything else in the parks. There was even some unique effects with it because of Hogwarts' unique shape/layout. Overall, very well-made and probably Uni's best nighttime show so far... not that the bar is high, at all. The one downfall of the show was the crowds. The area is very clearly not designed for show viewing at all. If they want to make this a year-round show, they really need to build some dedicated viewing areas by the former D.C. queue.
