Cinderella Castle Shimmers For The Holidays

Shimmering lights illuminate Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom during the holidays at Walt Disney World Resort. The Magic Kingdom icon is bathed in more than 200,000 tiny white lights that add a special sparkle to the season. These lights are attached to more than 40,000 square feet of fisherman’s net dyed to specifically match the colors of the castle.  After the lights are hooked up on the nets, they’re programmed and tested and then written into lighting cues for the shows.
