2008 Christmas village Disney and Department 56

My newly expanded 2008 village. Walt Disney World's Main St. USA with a new HO scale model of Walt's personal train, the Carolwood Pacific Railroad. Also Mickey's Toontown with Department 56's North Pole and some Snow Village pieces. This years was the biggest display yet since we started collecting about 10 years ago, hope you enjoy it!

what's the name of the song at 3:28 ? :)

@MarioSims1 Thanks for watching! the song is called (sorry if I spell it wrong) Chante C'est Noel. It is from Disneyland Paris used throughout theire Christmas parade and also used throughout the park as a holiday soundtrack in various different versions. Not certain if they still use it but it was heard quite a bit on my trip there in 2004. Title of song is sung in French and most of lyrics are in English. Loosely translated ( I don't speak French) it means to sing and dance for Christmas.

Very Nice!! How did you set up the fireworks? I've been looking to use fiberoptics for FWs for a Looooooong time on my disney display, and would love to know where you got them/how you made them!

@Horizons5556 the firework are really in two parts one is an accessory from Department 56 but is now a retired piece (item # 56.52727). The other one is an inexpensive fiber optic lamp that can be found at places like Spencer's Gifts. I created the effect by mounting it sideways into a styrofoam base under the castle and pushing the fiber optic strands agains the background causing it to fan out.

I mentioned this last year when I found your video; your Disney main street and park Christmas display is wonderful.  I love watching it now every year because it inspires me to create my very own "Disney" Christmas village one day.

I have been collecting some of the buildings to make "Main Street". I really love the ones you used and they all do not look like they are Dept 56.

Off to build my "Fall" New England Coast village... thanks again!!

This is beautiful! And what's more important - it is a rather ingenious layout, which makes it all the more exciting and festive. I'm responding with a vid of our Christmas village from a few weeks ago - would love to hear your tips & ideas on that. Hope you're also lining up a new 2010 Christmas village video yourself! :)
