Holiday Castle lighting

MickeyEars · 06-16-2008

Is the Castle lighting incorporated into Wishes Nighttime Spectacular? I don't want to miss this during our December trip.

Oh! Me too! I believe that's when my Mom saw it happen on the Samantha Brown show. I can't wait! It's so exciting!

It was last year. Holiday Wishes included the Castle. The Castle Pics I have seen are spectacular.

The castle lighting was separate from Wishes. The castle lighting was right around dusk. Wishes is later. It was really amazing!

I hope they decide to do it again this year.

It dims at the start and comes back up with the rest of the lights after the full blackout during the finale. That's about all, same for Holiday Wishes. If not, I wouldn't have been able to edit the 2008 footage with icicle lights with 2006 and 2007 footage.

Exactly. They turn them on when it starts to get dark, dim them for Wishes, and turn them back on at the end of Wishes.

I can honestly say, I never saw the castle look so beautiful.

I hope it's the same this year.

I can't wait to see this in REAL LIFE this year! Woohoo!
