But I have been unable to control myself.

Originally Posted By dzy76 At first I wasn't going to look, afterall, I'll be able to see it for myself Dec. 7th, but it is soooooo hard not to peak. So I'm "glancing" at some and I won't enlarge or look too long. I just can't help myself, it's too fun.

Either way, I'll be there on the 16th when it will be done for sure. Just wondering...

I can't get it to load at the moment, so maybe that means he is loading more pics!!! A friend sent me some pictures as well. Also, LP's "The Latest" (see link on left side of this page) has "Cinderella Castle lighting test photo". This is from WDW, and I have no idea if DL's castle will be at all similar, but the lighting test pic from Florida looked pretty.

ITA I don't think seeing a picture is the same as that feeling you have seeing it in person for the first time- but I can undersand not wanting to look at the pictures if you know you're going to see it soon. We'll be seeing in in person in just 17 days!
