Hi, I just love how all the lands are lit at night, the flickering lights of Frontierland, the dragons lair under the castle and the oil lamps in Adventureland illuminating adventure isle and the Pirates of the Carribean fort (inside and out) - It all helps to make it feel all that more magical and real. But it has to be asked how do they get away with it? I mean It's easy to knock kids flying accidentaly and over here health and safety  :twisted:  would insist at least three floodlights per square inch.

NB: If you have any pictures post 'em here! (I have some of Frontierland and Big thunder mountain lit up that lovely orange colour somewhere - i'll post them when I find them)

you think that lighting is a bit dangerous, try walking from DV to Sante Fe at night along the river. There's no lights at all !!!

It´s no problem for me to walk in the dark. I hope they won´t change the lightning atmosphere in the park by adding flood lights this would be ugly :(
Outside on the path to the hotels OK there maybe some Lights are needed but in the Park in my opinion everything is how it should be , it´s magical in the Night ;)

I wasn't saying I wanted flood lighting just wondered how they got away with it (In britain they wouldn't).

I also Love It the way it is!!!!! (Makes it more real and magical), Would't be the same at night without it (eg. frontierland).

The park buildings do look lovely at night, and having a knolege of this kind of lighting, the lights on thair own will cost a few hendred pounds each, and the cable, and then the controllers which for theair lighting must be a few grand each. The searchlights they use for the 15th anniverrsery thing at night, must cost a few thousand, but the final result really does look magical

We can achieve our dreams, if we have enough courage to persue them!

i think all they need to help light the way down the river side are thise low level lights you get on steps and things, just to illuminate the walkway. no need for huge flood lights and the like
Have a Magical day!!
