There's a little show that goes with it, and the Voice of Disneyland booms out over the Small World Mall area and tells everyone to look at Small World and make a wish for peace on earth. Then everyone counts down and on "1" the facade bursts to life with all the lights and the Small World theme song booms out over the PA system in that part of the park. It's a cute little thing. They do a similar show to light up the Haunted Mansion at dusk also, and it's very clever and fun. Leave it to Disneyland to make a show out of turning on the lights, but that's what they do.
12	TP2000 Sun 12/2/2007 10:25p	Here's the Small World lighting thing they do at sundown, just to give you an idea. My favorite part is how the crowd always cheers when they do it, and that shows up on this YouTube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =t11MkEmNSro

The usual doll parade went off every 15 minutes (with March of the Wooden Soldiers), but this was not followed by the peppy little facade light show. Hope that confuses things further!
15	Dabob2 Mon 12/3/2007 8:42a	Well, dang!
16	DlandDug Mon 12/3/2007 9:15a	That's what we said...!

We saw it happening as we passed by on the monorail, but when part of the group walked over to watch the next one, it didn't happen. Then later it was working again. One time the lights went off but the projections didn't work. Later it was all working. So, if you don't see it one time, try again later.

19	Dabob2 Mon 12/3/2007 2:07p	I can picture it now... trying to see it at, say, 6:15. Clock show happens, no lights. We go on another couple of rides. At 7:30 we emerge from Alice to see the very last of the lighting effects on SW in the distance, knowing we just missed the thing. We hang around till 7:45 just to see it. The clock show happens, but no light show. We give up and go to FrL. As we emerge from Big Thunder we realize the timing is all wrong to see the one that we vaguely hear in the distance is just ending...
