Starting this year (and yes, it has started)... there is a 'super-sized' version of the 15-min "gingerbread house' projector effect (the one that was introduced last year and continues this year as weird/trippy little clock thing every 15-min) expanded and integrated with perfect timing with the fireworks show. The newly added Small World projections during "Believe" include (among other things) many "world of color / electrical parade' looking sequences perfectly timed to the Believe soundtrack. And to top it off..near the end, a phenomonal, much-improved (and nearly 3 times longer) sequence using those state-of-the-art projectors that line up with the facade, completely steal away your eyeballs from the actual fireworks and do it's dazziling, extreamly creative lightshow. It's really, really, REALLY impressive and a blast to watch, especially with the dramatic view of the fireworks (as always) from the Small World area. To cap it off, they have a projection of Santa Claus and the raindeer running across the entire facade near the finale, and then the whole corridor bursts into the whole snow thing. I love when Disneyland adds things like this with little or no warning/leaks to the fan community. Because, you know, every so often... it's wonderful to be completely surprised and utterly delighted on what may start out as any old typical trip.
Originally Posted By nemopoppins Wow! When did they start that? We were there 11/29 through 12/3 and there were no projections. Actually, there were fireworks on only one of those five days due to wind but there were no projections. That means I'll have to find a way to go back next year.
Originally Posted By DBitz2 Last year they had some neat projections on the facade during the snowfall after the fireworks. Not sure if they're doing that again. I'll definitely have to check out the fireworks from SW area before they end for the season to see the effects described above. It sounds cool.
Originally Posted By RAM1984 I can testify that Kayoss is absolutely right. It is wonderful. We were there from Dec6-10 and luckily got fireworks every night. The first from in front of the castle. The second the ropes were up at SW due to wind and we saw the projections from a distance. The next night we got to SM at 8:30 and got a great spot and I was able to video. It was beyond explanation in my opinion. >> It's really, really, REALLY impressive and a blast to watch<< is an understatement. I do not know when the Holiday stuff stops and it is already the 3rd but see it if you can!!!!!!!

Our friends and we agree that the Small World end has a much more "warm/fuzzy" feeling than the chaos that is often in front of the castle. And do not run off after the fireworks; stay for White Christmas as projections continue with the snow.
