    Question Cinderella Castle Lights [Merged Threads]

    Hi everybody,

    I will be heading to The World this coming weekend with my family. I was wondering if anyone knows whether or not the Christmas lights on Cinderella Castle will be lit up in the evenings when we are there? I've heard some people say it will only be during the MVMCP and others say every night, so I wanted to check and see if anyone who has been in the last few days knows for sure which it is? I'm hoping it's each night so we can see them. Please let me know asap! Thanks in advance for the info!

    I don't know 100% for sure if this is still the case, but I know that they were originally marketed as a perk for MVMCP only.

    From what I've read it's only for MVMCP. I would wager that they will be on every night after the MVMCP stops for the rest of the holiday.

    I saw a couple pics of it on the internet (during test phases), and it is gorgeous!! Can't wait to see it in person.

    30 days to go!!!

    Can anyone get a more definitive answer?

    I'll be at WDW on Jan. 2-12. Is there ANY chance that they will still be up?

    For example - the Osborne Lights will be up until Jan. 6th....any news about the castle's lights?

    The lights are physically on the castle... however, we were there last night and they weren't actually lit... you can just tell they are on there. I think it is for MVMCP only...

    I heart the Epcot Christmas tree, especially at night... very sparkly!

    I was just there this past week. As the previous poster said, the lights are physically on the castle. You don't see them from afar, so it is not affecting the look of the castle. However, if you get closer to the castle, you'll notice massive numbers of strands of lights hanging from the castle. Currently, they are not lighting it at night. I also believe that this is only for the MVMCP. Just from seeing in the daytime how many lights were on the castle, I can't wait to see it all lit up. I'm glad I'm not paying that electric bill!!

    Well, thank you all for your replies. I will be there this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I was really hoping to see the castle lit up, but I guess we'll have to save that for another time during this season while they are still up. I appreciate all your responses. Have a great evening!

    From Figment's Tidbits:

    A Castle Christmas

    11/7/07 Entertainment Cast have reported that the Castle Dreamlights (lighting of Cinderella Castle) is scheduled to have its Grand Debut November 12, 2007. Although it has yet to be publicly announced, Entertainment Cast have also reported that the show is scheduled to be held nightly during regular park hours during the Holiday Season. So far, public announcements have only referenced it as a highlight of the Mickey's Very Merry Christmas party.


    Here is the link to the above thread:
    A Castle Christmas
    Looks like the castle will be lit up nightly! We do not head down there until February so those of you who go please take some photos and post them!

    Oh my gosh! That is AMAZING! It makes me wonder why they have not decorated the castle like this before. It enhances the castle rather than detracting from it as many other decorations have in the past (think pink cake). Man, I wish we could see it in person.

    Gee, thanks Chris!


    You are going at a fabulous time. We went after Thanksgiving one year (just DH and I) and it was so wonderful. You better take lots of pictures of that castle! Have a great trip!

    When I pulled up Intercot today I was blown away! How gorgeous the castle is! I will probably just faint away when I actually see it in person!
