With 99% certainty, it will be there in 23 days. Sorry.
Awww dang... was hoping they'd want it gone for Halloween
But it would still be out during the day ? Sorry for the dozy question!

Well, Christmas is right around the Disney corner....
It collapses down flat so can only really be seen from the back of the castle.

It's one of our favorite fall attractions! This was the 11th.
Thanks for your help

For real. I remember well the struggle of trying to take castle pictures with as little visible crane as possible.

When they have the boom extension on it is a larger project to put it in travel mode. They can't leave that on. It is an extra hour or so to get the extension in place and stow it so a couple of hours of crane time each day. Maybe this is a longer crane than they have used in the past, I would need pictures of the model number to be sure. If it is longer then it won't use the extension and can be stowed each night with little extra time required.

Just the classic example of everyone wanting to eat the sausage, but, no one wanting to see how it is made.

If it ever gets to that point, they will simply do away with the lights.
They have been using the collapsing cranes for years. The only time they have to use the extended cranes are either when they are making repairs on the building decorating the very top.
