The Realist’s Take
Looks like Mickey Mouse is putting the ‘soul’ in ‘Santa’ this holiday season in Disney’s style. From soulful tunes echoing through EPCOT to scrumptious cultural treats that would give any grandma’s holiday cooking a run for her money. Their newest nightshow spectacular, ‘Luminous The Symphony of Us’, is lighting up the skies like a bauble on a Christmas tree. Celebrity narrators at the Candlelight Processional have turned storytelling into a star-studded affair (wonder if they’ll autograph my Mickey ears?). And there’s a virtual run, because nothing screams holidays like sweating around your living room. Watch out, Rudolph! Disney’s holiday offerings are hotter and brighter than your red nose!
