Got it. Going down the line:
--Guessing the tunnel with 2 Leprechauns was meant to be fairy cave.
--Baby New Year was present on Employee Preview and sat on the crib with padding next to the Nurse. It was a half-body gag with little feet/crotch that wiggled, with the performers hands going into the legs. The role, to my understanding, has been cut permanently due to issues.
--This was definitely planned and evidence of it remains in the house: the audio cue inside the home goes "If it's gold you want, it's gold you'll get!" ...but the Leprechaun just appears from behind a door.
--I'm not quite sure where the tree scare would've gone given that room is quite small... but there was something planned at one point, just don't know what quite it was or when it got snipped.
