upstop Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Maybe there'll be snow!!!! (and miseltoe and presents on the tree) too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I'm hoping I can buy a t-shirt with the awesome logo on it. Preferably the year too, in case this becomes a repeating thing. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstop Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I hope they do it up.... Something over the top fun. Maybe a Star Shower alley with Christmas music... I'm going to guess that the event will take place in FestHouse... In there they could use the fake snow machines and certainly show movies. I too hope they sell t-shirts and other Christmas stuff. Maybe they will have Christmas Peanuts characters! Edit: and maybe summer type versions of Christmas treats... Turkey panini and ginger bread ice cream.... Cranberry spritzers and peppermint chocolate.... Growl.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freaks76 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Already setting up the Christmas decor. Sigh. I remember a time when Christmas didn't happen till after Thanksgiving. The way it is nowadays, By the time it gets here I'm just glad it's over. Doesn't help my better half likes to start so early. And the movies I see so many Christmas movies I can't hardly take it. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freaks76 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 So as soon as I get done posting my rant. I walk in the living room, and what is my wife and youngest watching?? A darned Hallmark Christmas movie. Errrrr....... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Yeah, the Hallmark TV channel is having Christmas in July too 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr0y Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Christmas in July at Ki? Meh, I won't be attending that. I think the park should plan a Pokemon GO day, that would attract a lot of crowds young and old. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyrider Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I am going to wear my "Bring Back Winterfest!" t-shirt to the event. Anyone else going to? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Don't have one, but I'll probably wear Christmas t-shirts the two days I visit that week. I talked to Don Helbig on Thursday at the park, and I don't think any of this is privileged info. The breakfast with Santa will be held in the Festhaus between (IIRC) 8 and 10. There is no discount for meal plan holders, because they want to somewhat limit the number of people taking part in the event so all the kids will have a chance to give their lists to Santa. I didn't ask about the movies because I assumed they would be late at Soak City, like the Dive-In Movies, but I realize I may have been mistaken there. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIfan73 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Call me crazy, but I think this is one of the more inventive events the park has come up with. I'm really going to try to be there for it next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstop Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I will be there.... But ONLY if they make it snow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 Are there any pictures of preparations already taking place? Would love to see them! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ding Dong Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I think when Santa finds out he can't fit in the test seats there are going to be a lot of people who unexpectedly will find themselves on the Naughty List. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 You wouldn't like our work cafeteria. At least four different turkey dishes every day. Turkey hash for breakfast, too. Turkey must be cheap right now. One day they had Turkey Yum Yum Soup. Whatever THAT is. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBEW_Sparky Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 That sounds like something one would find at a Chinese Buffet. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magenta Lizard Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Some pics Most of the decorations are limited to International Street, but some of the associates have cool t-shirts and the gate staff were wearing fun hats. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
