Are they unique or the same kind of thing as they did on Small World last year? Are they doing that on Small World for the holiday again too? Thanks! Only 4 more days..

At the very end, there are projections of giant snowflakes falling on the castle, but everything else is just colors. I've never seen it before, so I don't know if there is usually a Tink appearance, but she was gone last night. They are also doing the Small World projections just after the clock goes off, but it appeared they they don't have the lights for the rest of the facade hooked up (yet, I hope) so they turn off when the projections start. It was kind of hard to see them with the other lights on.
Originally Posted By cmpaley Ferret is correct on both counts. We say Holiday Believe from the hub last night. The lights on the castle change in time with the music. I didn't see any images projected thereon. Earlier that night, we went to ride "it's a small world holiday" and arrived in time to see the projections play on the facade. Really cool effects. I can't speak to whether or not they projected images on the facade during the fireworks show as we saw the show from the hub.
Originally Posted By fidoprincess Thank you both! This helps us a lot with planning. The waiting for the fireworks right up front is always such a pain and we only did it one time. We loved it but would rather not stake out a spot so far ahead of time. If the castle just changes colors or there are snowflakes, well we don't need to be right up front so you just saved us hours!
Originally Posted By FerretAfros Sunday was fairly crowded, and we literally walked up within 5 minutes of the show and got a spot in the middle of the street near the Photo Shop. Although we weren't that close to the castle, it was definately nice having it there with the changing colors. There were also some fireworks that were centered on the castle that wouldn't have looked as neat from other areas of the park. There is one part where there are things that can only be seen from where you see the front of the castle, but I believe there is stuff going on in the sky as well then.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros They have the spinning things on the roof for a while (same as the Laughing Place part of Remember and what's on the Twain during Fantasmic!). There are probably about 4 or 5 on each side of the castle, and they have red and green centers. That's probably what closes every thing down. Are they neat? Yes. Are they worth shutting down parts of the park for, without much else coming from there? Not really.
