Now that Thanksgiving is over, holiday decorations are in full swing — especially at Disney parks. Deemed one of the most magical places to visit during the holidays, everything from rides to the iconic castles in Disneyland and Walt Disney World are decked out for the season.
If you're not heading to California's Disneyland from now through January, Disney's site Oh My Disney shared a short video on Facebook showing how Sleeping Beauty’s iconic park castle transforms for the holidays.
Here's how the castle normally looks.
And here's how it looks after it's all decorated for the holidays.
It looks even more impressive from the front.
Here it is before and during the holidays side-by-side for easy viewing.
If you thought some lights are simply attached to the castle, you're wrong. More work goes into it than you may imagine.
First, 80-foot cranes take apart the castle's blue roofs each December and actually replace them with snowy versions.
The regular covers are taken off first.
Then the blue roof patches get covered with snowy versions that cover each turret.
Then the lights are turned on and more are affixed to the castle along with wreaths and garland.
Gorgeous.
You can see how the castle is transformed for the holidays below.
