Sorry I missed this until now. Got some great shots there, Will! As always, the monorail love is much appreciated. :)

When the Imagineers designed the Christmas decorations for our castle, they realized that people would see it, and so went with a design that doesn't look like a giant marshmellow

The story is that Cinderella doesn't want to have to put up the Christmas lights up herself. She's a princess and she needs others to do it, so she calls upon her Fairy Godmother.

Great Pictures!!! Sad thing... me being able to see WDW From my living room widnows but I never go. I think that is the plyte of working at a Theme Park.... it kinda ruins the magic of going there on your days off!! I LOVED the Castle/Fireworks pictures!!! Beautiful!!
Ma'am... you do not need a special assistance pass because you stubbed your toe on your hotel room hot tub!!!!

Those were some great photos of the castle during the show. And thank you for posting the pictures. It makes some of us that can not go feel so jealous of those that can.
