Festival of Lights will offer guests a bigger and brighter experience this year. It starts with Noel: The Dancing Tree of Light, a four-story digital Christmas tree. Stroll through a mile-long trail with not one, but two million festive lights featuring new scenes as well as favorites such as the Nutcrackers, a train, a toy factory, and of course - plenty of animals.
