Date and time set for first Cinderella Castle lighting of the season!


For a stress-free Disney or Universal Studios vacation, let the FREE expert planners at Royal Carriage Vacations take care of every detail including dining reservations, applying discounts, and onboard cruise credit.


Guests love seeing the lighting of Cinderella’s Castle each night during the holiday season.  This takes place with a themed show called A Frozen Holiday Wish.  Here’s the info for the 2016 opening.

A Frozen Holiday Wish offers a 9 minute show in which Anna and Elsa, along with Kristoff and the huggable snowman Olaf provide a gift to all Magic Kingdom guests.  Queen Elsa uses her snowy powers to magically create beautiful projections and light the castle with thousands of beautiful lights that creating a twinkling wonderland.

The show will occur nightly beginning November 2, 2016 and should run until at least January 2, 2017.  Expect the shows to begin at 6:30pm nightly with a second show at 8:00pm for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.

I’ll be there November 2 to begin the festive fun, will you get to see the show this season?  Share the post to let your friends know!

They usually do that work over a couple of nights. Lights have been on the castle for a while now.
