Ok, the "official" word is that the Fantillusion Parade and Wishes will take it in turns during the week, then both at the weekends.
Basically,
Disneyland Park itself was getting around 45,000 "first-clicks" a day in August, but only 8000 people were in the park for the nights entertainment. And a large percentage were annual passport holders, who according to surverys would have visited the park anyway and stay off-site. 97% of Disney's attendance comes from NON-annual passport holders!
Basically, the longer and more reasons people have to stay in the parks, the more they spend at Disney and not elsewhere. It's not a case of getting people to spend more, it's where they spend it.
Plus, it encourages day trippers to buy a 2 day pass instead.
You can say what you like about bad press, but everything I have seen in the mainstream press has been good. And it's that what encourages the majority of people to come.
No Christmas Village in the Disney Village????
Think again, 9th Dec till 8th Jan.
It's got a sponsor (air france) plus the stalls all pay rent.
Silly not to have it.
