Here's How YOU Can Watch the First Holiday Castle Lighting in Disney World!

Can you feel the frozen fractals all around??

Cinderella Castle all lit up during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party!

Halloween is officially over which means it’s time to move on to the most wonderful time of the year! Soon, we’ll start to see Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom lit up like an ice palace and we have all the details on when it’s going to happen — AND how you can watch from home!

For the holidays, Elsa and Anna will join Kristoff and Olaf in a special show at Cinderella Castle, called “A Frozen Holiday Wish,” nightly through the season. The big finale of the show will have Elsa “presenting a gift” to the whole kingdom by transforming the Castle into an ice palace. The castle will then sparkle and glow for the rest of the night!

What will we do when there’s no Frozen Fun?!

The show is in its fifth year and now we know the exact details for the first holiday castle lighting of the season. Head to Main Street and the Central Plaza at 6:15 PM on November 3 to watch the very first “A Frozen Holiday Wish” of the year.

If you can’t make it to Magic Kingdom and still want to get in on the icy holiday fun, don’t worry! This year, Disney Parks will be live streaming the first lighting! The live stream starts at 6:10 PM EST with the show beginning shortly after and can be found online here!

A Frozen Holiday Wish

We’re SO excited to watch this Frozen holiday event. What a perfect way to get us in the holiday spirit — even if we all aren’t in the parks!
