Wire from the Castle

We just got back. I'm not sure how long the wire has been there but does anyone know why there is a wire coming from the top of the castle down to the front of the park? I asked a couple of CM's, one said it so Cinderalla can get cable in her room the other didn't know.

Thanks

If you're talking about the wire I think you're talking about, it is how Tinkerbell flies during Wishes.

Yes, it's for Tinkerbell to fly down. The CMs probably aren't supposed to say that's what it is for. Pshh Tinkerbell? Need a wire?? She's got wings!

Why would Tinkerbell need a wire?

That gag about it being for Cinderella's cable is brilliant.

That's what we were told during Keys to the Kingdom.

Below is a rough estimate of the Fireworks viewing spots
based on other posters' info on the boards and personal experience.


(The "cable" can be seen, marked as "Tinker Bell's Flight-Path.")

From what they told us on our backstage magic tour was, when they first started sending tinkerbell down the wire, the "Stopping" system was three large cast members and a matress. Since then it has been "Improved"...

Of course they also told us..
"No mater how many times you ask, the answer will be 'there is only ONE Mickey Mouse at Walt Disney World'" I have this on video.

The tour was great, by the way

During MNSSHP, we overheard a mother telling her older children that the wire was for Cinderella to fly down during the fireworks. Correct story, wrong flyer!
