Does it snow on Main Street every year? - The DIS Discussion Forums

spidey_99 · 11-04-2009, 08:53 PM

I've heard that they do fake snow on Main Street at Xmas time. Is this something that happens every year? If so, does anyone know when it's starting this year? One of the many great things about living in So Cal is we hit DLR 1-2 times/month. One of the bad things is that my kids have only seen it snowing- real snow- once in their lives

! How magical if Disney can help us out!

Thanks in advance!

Yes, they do it every year. They do it during the Castle Lighting ceremony and also after the holiday fireworks. The Holiday entertainment begins November 13th this year.

Wow! I didnt know it snowed in December on Main street!

Yup, after fireworks.

It's fun, but maybe not exactly what you are expecting. We love it when it snows on MS tho!

But make sure you don't stand in one place too long and near the blowers or else you'll look like you got stuck in the wadher before the inse cycle!

It also snows at the Rivers of America.

OT: You might also try a little trip to Big Bear. Not too far if you are in So.Cal. and would let your kids experience true snow.

It also snows by it's a small world...and you can see the light show that they do on the outside of the ride, as well:

It seems like not many people ever mention it, but the light show is one of my favorite parts of winter time at Disneyland

I Totally agree!! It's hard to beat IASW at Christmas time to get you into the holiday spirit!

it's weather dependent....the past few years i have gone during the winter they haven't done it because it was too breezy....so i have yet to see it....i'm so bummed, but hopefully this year.....

But if it's too breezy then they just don't do fireworks at all, in which case they wouldn't make it snow.......
