What time is castle lighting on a party night?

I will be at magic kingdom Sunday but not staying for the party. What time will they light the castle before the party? And will it be the show with Elsa Anna and Olaf? How much before the show should we get there for a decent view? Thanks!

6:15, and 8:00 during the party. All the hours are on the Disney website: HOURS

When to get there depends on how close you want to be to the stage. You can see the castle lighting from anywhere on Main Street.

There's a Dream Along with Mickey show at 5:45. I'd think you could get a decent spot by getting there soon after that ends, to "fill in" when people who watch that might go elsewhere (if either they aren't aware the castle lighting will happen soon after, or they plan to stay for the party and will watch the 8:00 show).

It will be crowded with party folks who can enter at 4, so no guarantees. It's a cute show!
