The Halloween season has just got underway at the Magic Kingdom, and already crews are looking ahead to the next holiday.

The first sections of the Dreamlights are now being installed at Cinderella Castle. The crane is not yet onsite, but typically appears around mid-September to complete the work. The lights are displayed as part of Cinderella's Holiday Wish.

Nice to see it back!!! Is Cindy's Holiday Wish back this year, or will the castle be "Frozen" this year?

Any update on what Main Street is getting this year because of FOF?
I also heard a rumor last night at the park from some entertainment cast members that Frozen was going to take over the lighting show. Not sure if its true, they were upset it was happening but I thought of all places Frozen is being shoehorned thats the one where it makes the most sense.

The show is staying the same. It's Cinderella's Castle, not Elsa's/Anna's.
If Stitch took it over, so can Anna & Elsa.
When do the usually complete the light installation?
Grumble...stupid crane...grumble...but I love the castle lights...grumble...stupid crane!!
Really seems like they would find some way to integrate these lights into the skin of the castle somehow.

that would save the 2 months of setup and the 2 months of tear down each year.

and not to mention the aesthetics would be better. since then they'd be totally invisible during the daytime.

And when a bulb burns out, people will still whine about the crane. And I'm sure everyone would love the 6-month castle refurb required to imbed lights in the castle.

It doesn't take 2 months to install and 2 months to remove. It is a matter of weeks. These will be good to go by October.

If they used the new LED bulbs as they are already using the bulbs burning out wouldn't really be a concern.

it took awhile to take them down last year I know, but they were also doing some castle refurb work,

The two months this year for removal was for painting of the castle.
Does anyone know the first day they'll be lit?

Last year it was near November 6th. I'm not setting that in stone, just from what I recall.

That's it. That's the entire current and past threads about this installation in a nut shell. Template is also applicable to hub construction thread and any/all refurbishment threads.
"It's the MOST wonderful time of the year...."!!

Sorry....Too soon? :happy:

Of course its going to take over! Disney has to milk that cash cow as long as they can! And Frozen is still full of milk!
