Flashback to 1997 !

Wanted to share some of our *Flashback Videos* , from June 1997 !!!

Back when IllumiNations was just called “IllumiNations 25” and there was still the Electrical Parade & the *Gulp*….Pink 25th Anniversary Castle , aka “The Pepto Bismol Castle” !

“Some” actually liked the birthday cake-like castle. But most were quite set back walking into the park and seeing the magnitude of pinkness!

Let’s just hope the 50th anniversary, will not be anything similar 👍🏼

Regardless, here’s what it took to cover the castle for the 25th anniversary :

•More than 400 gallons of pink paint which was decorated with multicolored sprinkles.

•26 candles ranging in height from 20–40 feet tall.

•16 two-foot long candy stars

•16 five-foot tall candy bears

•12 five-foot gumdrops

•4 six-foot stacks of Life Savers

•30 three-foot tall lollipops

•50 two-foot gumballs

•More than 1,000 feet of pink and blue inflatable “icing”.
