What was the deal with the for VERY LARGE speakers surrounding Town Square tonight? Also the Fantasmic lighting structures were up and running. Was the a special event after park hours?

I would venture to guess that it is the set-up for Candelight this weekend.

Town Square will be the location for Candlelight this weekend, and work has begun to construct the risers on the train platform for the choir and orchestra.

There are private Cast Member holiday parties Tuesday and Wednesday night. These are not "mix-in" parties - the park will close at 6, and the parties start at 8 both nights.

Educated guess - They have the sound system set up because they're probably doing rehearsals and sound-checks tonight and the next few nights for the Candlelight Procession next weekend.

Big speaker systems take several hours to set up, get the cables run, the amplifiers wired and everything adjusted properly. So they will probably leave them up there all week and put covers over them when not in use.

If they set up any special stage lighting (and they probably will) it will llikely stay there all weekend also.

The Fantasmic! towers are up nightly now to provide lighting and snow during Believe...In Holiday Magic. They usually bring the lighting towers and Fantasmic! speaker towers into show position a few hours before Believe... begins and lower them after park closing.

And as already mentioned all the stuff now up in town square is for Candlelight, although they have been doing prep work to the area since last week.

Also, due to the work in the area for Candlelight, the Flag Retreat Ceremony will not be occurring until December 8th. The flag will still be lowered at dusk by DL Security, but it will be done without ceremony itself.
