Christmas lights on the castle

[AussieNSW]

Does anyone know if they going to install the lights on the castle for the Christmas season this year?
When do they tend to install them?

They didn’t install them last year. Theory is that the projections don’t work with the lights.

They can ditch the projections, and I'll be happier.

The castle is not a movie screen. Everything projected onto it looks like a mess of colored lights to me.

And, they can get rid of that garish new paint job, too. Bring back Cinderella's castle the way it's supposed to look.

There! I feel better.

I agree on the castle. I wish they would bring back the old paint scheme.

I'd be surprised if they came back. They took months to put on and again to take off. And then there was "the crane" in everyone's pictures. It was a nice Frozen touch for a few years.

My guess is no

Another budget cut.

The castle lights were my favorite Christmas decoration ever and Elsa lighting up the castle took my breath away every time.

@imbelle , I felt the same about the castle lights.

100% This.

If they want to they can create a Christmas projection on the castle that would look exactly like it did before.

Actually more like 13 years. I really miss them.

This and the Osborne lights. Both history.

Now I want to really cry! I had hoped once they sent back the boxes of old unusable Osborne lights they'd wait a couple years, then pull out the good stuff (not the ones that looked just like the old) and create their own light extravaganza. It was the only reason for me to go at the holidays. Haven't been back since they left.

@mom2rtk - Actually more like 13 years. I really miss them.

WOW, didn't think it was that long. They were pretty for a couple years but as someone who went often they weren't worth the crane and disruption to the castle for months on end. Folks who had a once in a lifetime or rare visit would have to deal with that in their photos.

We were there for everyone of the 13 years, hence my name DisneyNDecember, and I did have a hard time not seeing them anymore. But I have grown to love the projections and I LOVE the new colors and the way the castle looks now, very beautiful and majestic. Love it all

Sorry, what’s the 13 years mean?

Number of years the lights were on the castle

 

[jo-jo]

While we are all being sad, let's throw in the Epcot fountain dancing to Christmas carols and the lights of winter. We had "our" bench so we could watch both. Now the bench is gone too.

Agree! I can’t even imagine Disney at Christmas without them. This will be our first Christmas back in 4 years and I am so sad there may not be lights! I am interested to see how Christmasy it feels without them.

I guess we have to be happy that we were fortunate enough to have seen the castle lights. They definitely are near the top of my list of favourite Disney things. I do love the 50th anniversary paint and decorations, though. But the projection shows, not so much.
