Starbuc71 162 Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Two years in a row the main tree at the hub by trails end has had a strand of lights out right in the middle. Let's see if brown paint guy notices it and fixes it or at least reports it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Since the new management seems slightly more responsive than past regimes, I am cautiously optimistic that all of the lights on the Christmas tree will work this year. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I believe we have. I recall it going up on the Wednesday of Thanksgiving week one year. Saturday would be early. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbuc71 162 Posted November 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Well, it's Saturday and it seems all the decorations are up except for the tree. I'll report back when it's up. Not many Christmas decorations on the sites as of yet BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Still hoping it will magically appear That's funny, but not funny. What the Fort? Where's the tree? I stopped by Wilderness Lodge yesterday, and none of their decorations are up yet. Hopefully our tree is on their truck? But, honestly, I have a bad feeling about this. They bring in a lift to hang all of the decorations on Pioneer Hall, and they have always used that lift to assemble the big Christmas tree at the same time. I imagine that lift is moved from resort to resort, and has a tight schedule. If they didn't put it up with the rest of the decorations, they may not bother coming back.

Classact....Mike 17 Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Tree went up on or about Nov 19 last year. The garland and other decor was up a week or so ahead. The thread subject asks "any bets....?" Why yes, I'll wager a Mickey's Premium Ice Cream bar it goes up this week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, that gives me some hope. In the years I've been there at decoration time, all the Settlement decorations were done on the same night. They were all wheeled off the same truck, and they got them up and moved on to the next resort. If the tree went up separately last year (I wasn't there), then hopefully it will go up separately this year too. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ah yes but in true Fiendish fashion the thread has shifted to much weightier concerns such as, "is the tree even going up this year". But if we must shift this thread back to the string of lights, I'm personally hoping beyond hope that the string of lights will still be out just to watch to ensuing conversation it will spur!

Starbuc71 162 Posted November 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Andrew, you beat me to it. At least the string that's out is in the back. 3 years in a row now. Sad..... Avatab.... Steve 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 When I saw that bare patch of dead lights in 2014....if you had told me that Disney would not only not have it fixed the next day, but it would still be burnt out in 2016, I'd have said you were crazy.
