Florida Fun Fact Friday: Going "Green" for the Holidays

Epcot Holiday Tree

The 1,500 Christmas trees at Disney World Resort won't be the only "green" holiday delights this season. Disney World resort hotels will glow with new "conservation" lighting — more than 700,000 LED lights in all. In fact, if you were to string the bulbs end to end, the strand would stretch for 95 miles lighting the path from Jacksonville to Orlando. And, they will only use 1/10th of the power of traditional incandescent bulbs.

If you've ever struggled with getting your own holiday decorations in place before guests arrive for that pre-holiday party, just imagine decking the halls of the 40-square-mile Walt Disney World Resort where hundreds (if not thousands) of guests arrive daily. Decking the halls of Disney World is a huge task that takes all year to prepare and hundreds of Disney World cast members to complete.
