| Enjoy the enchantment of a royal celebration! In honour of its royal guests, Main Street USA has erected a dazzling series of towering chandeliers right along the length of the street. Featuring beads, tiaras and turn-of-the-century Princess portraits, the Enchanted Fairytale Illuminations provide a sparkle of magic even during the day. When day turns to night, however, they really begin to spread their magic! After being illuminated during The Enchanted Fairytale Ceremony, their columns glow with brilliant white and purple, whilst the chandeliers themselves give an icy blue shine to compliment the Ice Palace effects of Sleeping Beauty Castle. The Enchanted Fairytale Illuminations were introduced just last year, to bring something new and to replace the 13-year old Lights of Winter arches, which had become too costly to maintain. The new Illuminations were designed not only with The Enchanted Fairytale Ceremony in mind, but also to not disrupt the view of the castle from Main Street during the season. There are 26 large chandeliers lining Main Street, with 8 more smaller lamps surrounding the Central Plaza stage.  This is a Winter weather forecast you can rely on! Every day, around every 15-20 minutes, the centre of Main Street, U.S.A. will experience a magical, seasonal flurry of snowfall, blowing in from across the rooftops. Forecasts say the snowfall will be cold yet enchanting, arriving with special wintry music and expected to last for the entire Christmas Season. Best hit areas appear to be between The Emporium and Casey’s Corner, with extra snowfall apparently occurring during The Christmas Parade! The snowfall is actually a soapy foam, blown out of special machines positioned on the rooftops of Main Street. Don’t worry, though – it has a special formula that won’t stain clothes and will “melt” away on the cobbled streets within a few minutes.  5 Performances daily except Tuesdays and Wednesdays; Check latest times � Outside Walt’s – An American Restaurant. Main Street’s music loop plays brass versions of Christmas classics all day long during the season, but once a day a merry group of carol singers present a special live medley of classic Christmas carols from the curbside of Walt’s restaurant, at the heart of Main Street USA. From ‘Jingle Bells’ and ‘Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer’ to ‘Deck the Halls’, let the jubilant live vocals lift your spirits and get you thoroughly into the festive mood, before you continue on your Christmas fantasy with a catchy Christmas rhythm stuck in your head all day long!  Each and every one of Main Street’s exciting stores has been decorated inside and out for the festive season. For 2006, the popular Christmas window displays feature a Disney character advent calendar, gradually building its way up the street of windows. Inside the stores, you’ll find seasonal products and festive gifts to suit every taste, all presented with special Christmas displays and full decorations throughout the stores. See The Emporium’s beautiful central Bambi display, or the hundreds of ‘Hidden Mickeys’ throughout the garlands and baubles in each boutique. To keep you going through the cold Winter days, the stores have stocked up on warm Winter clothing, whilst the countless restaurants and food kiosks along the street and its two arcades are perfect for a warm cup of coffee or cocoa in a relaxing seasonal atmosphere. |
