Lol...I know christmas lights arent up yet. Im sure Im mixed up. When I looked up lighting of the castle it came up with Celebrate The Magic which looks like its done nightly and special at christmas time. Here is the link. https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/entertainment/magic-kingdom/celebrate-the-magic/
So what exactly is done at christmas that yaw are talking about. I dont want to miss anything spectacular. We will be seeing Wishes.

CTM is a little pre-show before Wishes. Different scenes are projected on the castle. It's very cool, for a pre-show. it is not a Christmas thing, but a nightly thing.

I think everyone else is talking about when they turn on those icicle-looking things that are on the castle durning the winter. Though I've seen them lit up many times (and they do look wonderful!), I have never been to the lighting ceremony and don't know what all they do when they turn the lights on.

@meganwdw What and when is the castle lighting. I will be there and want to see it.

I agree with @zurgandfriend. Sounds like you can do both. If your already at the park all day its great to go relax and have your favorite dinner and being at 6:30 IS early to me so you still have time to enjoy walking around the park in the evening. Ill be there the same time as you.

The more I think about it, the more I think we can do both and we will for sure get there a little early to try to snag an earlier table.

I'm also talking about the nightly icicle lighting of the castle before wishes. It's pretty impressive if you've never seen it. I went to MVMCP back in 2008. I know they have a special show for that as well but really don't remember!

I would arrive early at 'Ohana and asked to be seated early and hop on the monorail as soon as you can. When MK closes at 10 they don't kick you out of the park at 10 sharp, take some pictures while you wonder out and enjoy the peace of a pretty quite moment the park.

So its before wishes. Is that in place of the Celebrate the Magic?

I finally found something. According to this it is every night when it gets dark. Around 6-6:30. Wishes isnt until 9-10. I already have that in my schedule. Just gotta do more planning now.
