Disney’s Christmas Season
A Hollywood Christmas � Lights! Camera! Christmas!

All the dazzle, all the merriment!

Picture this… You’ve just stepped onto a dreamy
Hollywood Boulevard at the heart of Christmas – all the glitz of showbiz at
the most wonderful time of the year!


Atmosphere! Atmosphere!

Quiet on the set, cameras rolling, aaand… Action!

Make your big break and step out onto Disney Studio
1’s Hollywood Boulevard, where dreams of Hollywood from throughout the ages
roll frame-by-frame before your eyes.  Disney’s Christmas Season has
brought more glitz and glamour to the shoot than ever before, as the entire
“Lights! Camera! Hollywood!” filmset has been transformed into a fun and
festive “Lights! Camera! Christmas!” production.

The traditional palm trees have been given unique
winter coats of twinkling lights, whilst each and every faade
has been adorned with customised lights and sparkling tinsel.


Palm Trees & Tinsel

Scene 1: Schwabb’s Pharmacy.  This legendary
writers’ hangout has been given some cool green Christmas tree lights and an
icy sprinkling of tinsel to its turquoise faade,
whilst glowing pine trees are lined up along the rooftop.  Next door at
The Brown Derby, the dining place to see and be seen in, electric stars have
been added to the red carpet canopy and the pueblo-deco frontage, with giant
glistening baubles and glowing yellow lights adding an award-winning gold
shimmer to this unforgettable eatery.

Across the boulevard at Shutterbugs, the dark room
has been given an added sparkle thanks to hundreds of carefully placed blue
and silver baubles on the glass brick front.  Next door at Glamour Girl
Cosmetics, feminine blue and pink lights glow from above, whilst the
apartment building windows show movie set silhouettes of folk preparing for
the Holiday season.

The Swankedero, not to be outdone in swank and
splendour, has adorned its entrance with hundreds of twinkling fairy lights,
covering the canopies like a thick frosting of snow. On the balcony above,
swanky silver Christmas trees are decorated with bright white lights and
modern decorations.  For a more colourful Christmas celebration, head
to The Hep Cat Club or Gunga Den next door, whose blue and purple faades
have been readied for the festive film shoot with a full layer of customised
tinsel and star-shaped illuminations.

Back at The Alexandria Theatre, the stylised
Egyptian extravagance of this movie palace has been exaggerated further with
pyramid Christmas trees and a full Egyptian mural, made entirely out of
baubles, tinsel and festive decorations.  Meanwhile, Hollywood & Vine
Five and Dime has had sparkly, red tinsel and trimmings added to all of its
geometric Art Deco features, with heavy garlands hanging from the entrance
and seasonal window displays.

The Gossip Column, Hollywood’s greatest source of
murmur and speculation, has been brought into the Christmas production with
icy patches of illuminated snow hanging from its roof, which also extend
right the way around the canopy of Last Chance Gas.  The Gossip Column
is also the host of an extra, small movie backdrop for the ‘Edelweiss’
musical performances.  Between shoots, however, the rustic bridge and
frozen pond is free for festive photo ops!

Finally, the Christmas spirit has even spread all
the way to the Polynesian tiki gods of the Liki Tiki, who have donned giant
Santa hats in aid of the production.

But the magic doesn’t end there – step behind the
film facades into Les L�gends d’Hollywood boutique or Restaurant En Coulisse
and you’ll discover a whole other backstage world, where giant illuminations
and wacky Christmas props hang from the ceiling and await their time in the
spotlight.
