Wow, the operational cuts continue. The Holiday events generally started right around Veteran's Day in mid November....I don't like this new management team.

This is Hollywood's event, not Orlando's. The event is starting around the usual time.

Sadly, sounds like the same event as last year and will not be having the same amount of entertainment like pre covid (there were like 5 different shows happening though out the day back then....good times)

I know it will be a fun time but was hoping they'd plus the event this year with the amount of guests coming for SNW

Thanks. That's better......Read too fast & missed the Hollywood ....Anyway, that's a relief. Universal Orlando, since they updated their Holiday offerings a few years ago is an excellent event, actually better than WDW holidays. I was planning on going back to Universal next Nov., figuring they'd have their parks back in order by then, with night shows and parades again. That's a shame that Hollywood has such a weak, and late starting, lineup, though.

I hope so

It was just something new to do and I I'm a sucker for Halloween/Christmas/Holiday shows

While the Tree Lighting and Castle Shows are great, it's just nice to have other thing's to watch as well and make it an almost full day event

The singing Who show is coming back, so that’s a win, at least.

This is from 2017. I think last year was just the tree light and maybe the story time? So hopefully we get the two singing groups back

Great move. I've been saying that both Orlando and Hollywood need to find a way to introduce additional meet and greet spots/chambers for years. This rewards APs on some of the busiest days and should relieve some congestion at the main Whoville meet and greet.

Agreed

Wont happen but something like this for Mario/Luigi would be amazing as well (I know it wont happen)

But I love this and hope they do this more offend with meet and greets like this that get insane lines

Didn’t they have a Grinch photo op by the tram unload last year and it had significantly shorter waits but that was open to all guests? This is definitely a nice AP perk. I’ve seen 2+ hour waits in Universal Plaza. That’s insane just to snap a pic.

He is like Jack and Sally, while most just want a picture.....many also talk to him for min's and it causes back up

I admit it's cute with kids but yeah it also backs the line up.
