Starting November 12, Magic Kingdom's Cinderella Castle will have an icy new look as part of "Cinderella's Holiday Wish." According to the press release . . .
To transform Cinderella’s fairytale castle into a magical ice palace it took...
• Five weeks and 65 elves
• Two cranes
• 15 miles of cables, cut and dyed castle colors, supporting...
• 32,000 square feet of fishing nets, supporting...
• 200,000 energy-efficient LEDs, interspersed with...
• 500 strobes
• One Fairy Godmother working some very special magic...
The show that precedes the nightly lighting will feature Mickey and the gang, Cinderella, and Prince Charming who, with a little help from that Fairy Godmother, transform the castle into a glittering ice spectacle.
If you're heading there, be sure to pick up a copy of Steve Barrett's 2008 edition of The Hassle-Free Walt Disney World Vacation.
For the rest of us there's always Revenge of the Mummy.
