This week it has been happening at 6:30pm.

It may continue at this time or move up to 6:00pm as the days get darker earlier.

What I am talking about are the Castle "Ice Lights" that only happen as a part of the Christmas season festivities at MK.

They are amazing to see!

Here is a YouTube video (I did not shoot it.)

Are the ice lights part of the MVMCP or are they lit at the 6:30 tree lighting????

From what I understand they light the castle instead of the tree.

I can't wait to see these either. I watched them on YouTube (amazing!!!), but haven't spoken a word of it to my kids, I want them to be surprised. I can't wait, 5 more days till we leave...

When you say "thru the holidays," does that mean through New Years?

Yes.

The likely last night will be Sat., Jan. 3, 2009.

I love it when most of the people have left the park and you are there with the castle all lit up. It's magical for sure.

Have you stayed for the "Kiss Goodnight?"

 

[AuroraMeansDawn]

What is the kiss goodnight? If you'd be so kind as to explain! Thank you so much!

They play an audio recording with music and an announcer wishing everyone a good night (then some character voices join in the "good nights.")

During the audio track, they bathe the castle in various colors and patterns of light.

The whole thing lasts only 3 minutes.

Is the lighting of the castle a special event or do the lights just come one when dark?

If it's an event, is the time posted in the park?
