I'll be going into the parks for a few hours tomorrow, gonna try staying until the evening so I can see the Christmas lighting. It looks beautiful.
A lot of what Universal got grief about in the past for their holiday decor was that it looked tacky, sparse, and too homogenized.
These sort of bolt-on wreaths, garlands, etc.. that were all the same fake greenery with nothing but metallic colored balls of 2-3 sizes jammed into them.
Potter eschews that entirely, going for a very classical look. And further, the other areas of the parks seem to have more decor and while not a huge amount of variance it’s not the same as before. I didn’t get a pic, and unless I’m remembering the area wrong from the past, even the New York facades over by Fallon actually look vastly improved in decor.
