Yes but I do wonder what they will be doing in september for example when the park closes at 7 pm and it's getting dark at 8:30 pm ?! :shock:

Maybe just have a dusk showing, might work okay. When I saw Fantillusion last summer it wasn't completely pitch black, but worked fine.

I guess either the candles will be very bright (like LED/fibre optics - remember the flashes of light on the pirate ship during Peter Pan to the Rescue?) or they will make it enough of a "show" so that it doesn't matter if it's dark. I think the illumination will be more secondary here, compared to the EFC.

In that concept art and on the commercials the candles really look like shining beacons.. it looks like a lighthouse or aircraft warning lights! (which could actually look very cool seen from around the park) I wonder what they'll be like in real life?

And for Nala from the decorations topic:

Thank you so much, Baloo

That looks so magically, really great! (I know my next visit after the 15th will be during the Christmas Season)!

So will it be similar to this? So that the 15 Characters will dance around the middle of Central Plaza?
I hope that the Extra Magic hours in September will make it possible to see this show only one time in the dark or in the dawn :tink:

I'm just sooo curious!!

Yes Nala, you got it! They're even using the same stage (without the giant books).

Do we know yet exactly what characters will be involved in the Ceremony?

I'm assuming it's just Mickey and friends, like in the picture.

by **DisneyBud** » Fri Mar 09, 2007 1:16 am

Just out of curiosity, where do the characters come from to get to the stage? Do they have to walk part way through the park, or is there a secret tunnel that leads to Central Plaza?

by **Kristof** » Fri Mar 09, 2007 1:18 am

Last year they came from the door near the Wishing Well.

For the Enchanted Fairytale Ceremony during the Christmas Season, the characters walk from the Parade Building behind Its a Small World to the cast rest area near Bella Notte. Later they exit through the door near the wishing well and emerge through the Castle to the stage - walking down a path which has been roped off so to be clear of guests.

I believe that the Character Express may be used for this ceremony, but that may of changed.

That would be a great idea!

Hehe, sorry for my "long line"

But well, then it sounds very, very good! (Is that the same stage where the princesses can be seen/photolocation?)

La Rouquine on DCP told us that the first characters (Jiminy, Donald, Daisy) are on the castle now. Along with the Xmas lights structure...

It's so ugly in daytime! WHY WHY WHY???

Discussions about the decorations should go here!

The latest show & parade times have been announced - Candleabration will be performed every day from 1st April at 18h00, for the first two weeks of April at least.

So it's definitely more a first-sign-of-darkness show rather than a nighttime show, which makes sense really, since they'll want those lovely character candles to be lit for as long as possible.
