Yep. @Celticdog confirmed a downgraded Gloria was in the works for this year in the Gloria thread a few days ago.

I've had multiple conversations with entertainers and employees, including a few in Entertainment that Gloria will be returning for Christmastown 2023, however they won't have the full orchestra. It will still have the live music, but a much small group of musicians. No details were revealed. Which left me some questions as to the fate of Unto Us, as both shows share the same songs.

I'm going to leave these two posts here since it is CMT 2023 news, but any more detailed discussion of the new Gloria should take place over in the Gloria thread.

Any word on if things will change from the culinary department? Man I sure do miss the food/menus from the first few years. I remember they even had segment on the Today Show about Christmas Town and focused on the food.

No hard word but based on comments that Kevin made during the Coaster Day luncheon I kinda expect similar menus to last. Marco Polo has been confirmed to be open.
 
Yeah, Kevin got hit with a really hard question on the culinary situation during the coaster day Q&A and he all but said that their profit margin requirements dictate generic, cheap food. Seems like there's no chance food variety or quality at BGW will measurably improve anytime soon.
 
They have definitely cut down in the trees with lights the last several years. The lights at BG don’t hold up to KD. At KD they are much more immersive, above, at and below eye level.

BGW however has higher quality full production shows and the train and the skyway which are great winter rides. The Cedar Fair Winterfest shows are not full production. Most are side shows.
 
So we know for certainty that they won't have both Gloria and Onto Us? I hope they wouldn't; that would be redundant.

But, what would replace Onto Us? As much as I would hate that redundancy, it would be infinitely better than bringing back Gift of Harmony.

I guess bringing back Miracles would be a miracle.

I hope I'm overreacting but, the big cuts to entertainment is well known. SEAS as a company doesn't see the entertainment/shows department as a profit for the company. See Monster Stomp as an example.

That’s an interesting point, because I got to see Monster Stomp at SeaWorld Orlando’s HOS, and theirs was overall more cohesive with more of a story, and it’s relatively new (I think they started theirs in 2019?). Just thought I’d mention that.
