Yes...it's hung over Main Street, but then removed two days prior to taping, then re-hung a few days after taping is complete. Like the tree, the garland blocks camera angles so it's removed. We arrived at WDW on Tuesday, November 27 and the garland was up, it was gone on Thursday, the 29th, then returned with the debut of the tree on Tuesday, Dec 4. Lots of extra work for the decoration crew.steve2wdwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14846741520382003224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-19697374323396317072012-12-20T04:13:33.790-08:002012-12-20T04:13:33.790-08:00I have a home movie (on DVD now) of this same Chri...I have a home movie (on DVD now) of this same Christmas parade.

It wasn't put up until after the Christmas Day TV special was filmed during the first weekend in December. They do that so camera angles aren't spoiled. But they put up other Christmas decorations a couple of weeks earlier. So if someone who is used to the Disneyland way of doing things visits in late November, they will see Main Street with garlands, etc, but no tree.
