I'm looking at my 2007 schedule and the Christmas Wishes was at 9:30pm, the Christmas Parade was at 8:15pm and 10:30pm. The castle lights came on at around 6pm when we were there. There wasn't any special ceremony that I know of on that day. It was the first party on Nov 12th /07. Actually we got to see the regular Wishes first before the park closed to non party goers and then the Christmas Wishes later.

Castle lighting show started at 5:45, lights turned on around 6, followed by regular Wishes (If it was a party night and the park closed at 7 for regular guests) So lights right before Wishes
