MVMCP Snow

[handicap18]

We went to MVMCP in 2006 and also saw the Osborne Lights. The snow was soap bubbles. Little clusters of soap suds, like when you froth up dishwashing soap, not like single spherical bubbles. I didn't taste it, but if it gets in your eyes it stings.

That's probably the way I would describe it too. It is no doubt bubbles. But not in the traditional sence that we thing of "bubbles" like we give our kids. The bubble machine they use creats a froth that resembles falling snow flakes. Its actually a very cool effect.

Even if they used a real snowmaking machine it wouldn't work because the air is to warm. Even at the low temps in central Florida in Nov/Dec of high 40's low 50's that is WAY to warm to make snow.

Ski resorts wont turn on their snow making machines until the temp reaches 28º F. Also if you make home made snow you still need it to be 28ºF.

It is definetly soap bubbles more like suds... I am a theatre major and the work that would go into making real snow flakes would be a little difficult. We use the soap machines on stage as well and it can create such a believable blizzard. I think the fact that some people think it's flakes is just a testament to Disney magic!!! There is so much more going on that whether it is soap or not really doesn't matter!

Its actually fairly easy to make snow. There are many plans on the internet and many (at least in the Northern states) TV stations web sites.

You can go on you tube and find tons of video's of people's home made backyard snow machines.

I found a picture with some snow but even this one isn't the best photo:

I've been to 4 parties and yet I don't have any good pictures of that snow!

It is made from bubbles. Like bubbles stuck together in a bubble bath. They can get in the way of some good photos I must say and DON'T open your mouth!!

Here is a pic of snow coming off the top on main street. Its hard to get a picture of. It is just soap bubbles.

is there a certain section on Main St. where the snow falls?? Or does it fall over the entire st??

I am thinking of sitting on Main St for the parade. I would love to exp the snow but I have heard it can get really sticky...so I don't want to be watching the parade for 30 min and be covered in soap afterwards

The machines are located all along Main Street on top of the buildings.

It really isn't sticky or annoying (just don't open you mouth). It makes the parade more magical.

I don't think it falls near Tony's and not near the Castle.
