Fun Facts

General

1. During Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party Tinkerbell is replaced on the wire during the fireworks by a flying witch. I thought this was very cute!
   REPORTED: Aren 10 MAR 01
2. Disney's decoration department is absolutely amazing. One day its just a park and the next its Christmas! During the holidays, we saw the beautiful hoiday displays at Walt Disney World. Went to the Studios for our last day and everything was gone overnight!
   REPORTED: TR Shaw 05 JAN 97
   My husband and I just returned from Disney World. We arrived on 10/30. We had tickets for the Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween party. We went to the Magic Kingdom on Saturday morning to pick up the tickets and walk around there for awhile. It was all decorated with pumpkins, haystacks, spooky ghost sounds coming from the haystacks. We went to the party on Halloween nite, and when we returned to the Magic Kingdom on Monday, it was as if Halloween never happened. All traces of it disappeared!! Amazing!!

3. My husband and I were staying at the Dixie Landings resort from Dec. 29 - Jan. 5, when we were in the lobby of Dixie Landings and Port Orleans on Jan.1, the decorations were being removed at 11:30 p.m. The amazing thing was that all the decorations from each place have their own marked trailer. One of the cast members told us that on New Year's Day, the decorations are taken down, put into the trailer and a diesel big rig hooks up to the trailer and hauls it to one of the back lots until the decorations are needed again. The next morning it didn't even look like Christmas had occurred except for the red poinsettias remaining outside which were removed the day we checked out, Jan. 5.

Magic Kingdom

1. What time does the 3:00 parade start? 2:00 on Christmas day! It is filmed several times before that day just in case it rains...
   REPORTED: W. Todd Stephenson 11 JAN 96
   The Christmas parade is indeed filmed over a period of 2-3 days prior to Christmas in the event of rain. We were at the Magic Kingdom for Christmas 96 and 97. From watching the Christmas 1997 parade on tv, you'd never guess it was raining all morning! I was fortunate enough to become buddies with a couple of the camera people during the filming of the 96 parade and when I viewed it later after returning home, I was in the crowd scenes 4 times wearing 2 different outfits!

It's A Small World

1. On a recent trip, the holiday decorations included a lot of lights on the Small World ride. It is truly an amazing sight! I asked a crew member how many lights there were, she did not know but in true Disney fashion, called to find out. She was told that there were 50,000 lights on the structure itself, and a total of 250,000 lights for the entire attraction. That sure beats the holiday displays at Epcot.

1. From Thanksgiving to after the new year, the Bear Animatronics don Christmas apparel and sing Holiday oriented songs. If you consider yourself a true WDW veteran, consider this special show to be your incentive to go to the park during this time of year.
