America needs to keep the cynical Jim Carey version

:thumbsup:.Yes. That version works best for the Grinchmas show and the M&G in Suess Landing. The Grinch gets a really long line for his M&G.

I wonder if they could add the Illumination Grinch to the Macy's Parade?

I know some people do not like the Jim Carey version. Those people are wrong. :grin:

I think that version gives the superior M&G as he can talk. Most of the masked folks do not speak, which takes away some of the impact.

I saw the Holiday Tree Hunt at Rix Flix, it is new, free and you get something fun at the end...for free.

This is great. Not some lame gift like a pin or magnet either. Something I can actually use! We’ll be doing this for sure.

It's now our favorite time of the year to visit Universal. Trees & decorations EVERYWHERE.

Same. We’re flying down Saturday simply because of Christmas stuff.

We are headed down Saturday as well; we were supposed to go Sunday but with the inclement weather in the northeast, we switched to Saturday. Oh well, guess we will have to suffer an extra day at Universal :grin:. Have to do a single night at CBBR before moving to PBH, should be a cool experience!

My family and I had the turkey dinner for 4 from Monster's Cafe and I would highly recommend it. I was shocked at just how much food was given for the price.

Just taking a moment to wish all the IU members,staff & readers a very Happy Thanksgiving. :toast:

It's definitely a generational thing, not unlike The Ewok Line.

It was kind of a generational thing with me, but in a vastly different way. I was a kid when the original animated Grinch version debuted. It was one of the trinity of Christmas shows that came out about the same period in a time there were very few Christmas shows (Charlie Brown Christmas, Grinch, Rudolph) . So, that was the standard with me. I saw Carey's Grinch version in the theater when it came out, even though I don't like Carey's brand of Jerry Lewis type humor. I didn't like the movie at all. Last December I experienced Grinchmas at IOA for the first time and absolutely loved it. That spurred me to revisit Carey's movie version. And, amazingly, I liked it, after Universal altered my opinion with the very superb Grinchmas. In fact, we ended up watching it three times after that.....Tastes and opinions change sometimes.

Happy Holidays to all of the IU members, staff and readers....and their families. May the Festival you celebrate be merry, happy and safe. :toast:
