- Beautiful and fun! Great experience
- This is my 2nd year. Was even better this year. All the fog display additions were awesome. Son cried when it was over, he always wants to go back in. Hope its back next year!
- It was perfect. Every light was perfectly placed, all the effects were so alive and the event was just a perfect work of art. The botanical garden itself is beautiful, what a luxury and I am appreciative of the event. Thank you Disney thank you botanical garden.
- Excellent set up and clear instructions. A beautiful display made it feel just like the movie.
- We had a great time! The show was amazing and plenty of opportunities to take photos with staff there to help take photos of you or your group at different stages. Flow went very smoothly.
- Very cool experience! Had a lot of fun seeing all the characters and walking the path of lights. Wait until it’s darker to go the colors were incredible!
- It was really great. My son loved it.
- Such an amazing time! Loved it all

- It was very nice
- Great time. Beautiful aesthetics!
- Family friendly. Well organized. Well spaced photo ops. Not over crowded , yet. Lighting and music accompanied each phase perfectly. Easy access to train. Good length. Had dinner on Arthur Ave at 5pm and then attended light trail at 7:30. Perfect timing.
