This light is well-worn in the salt-filled air on the water and the beach. It's also well hitched to the wooden beams with heavy-duty rope. I expect Eric or his sailors needed a little extra light.

I'm crazy for this light. It's definitely one of my top ten lights in the Magic Kingdom (maybe even my number one). I love the delicate metalwork, the bright blue color, and the way it hangs in the center of the archway above the people in the line for Voyage of the Little Mermaid.

Next to the entrance to Voyage of the Little Mermaid is what looks like a shipwreck. These bright lanterns are a part of that aesthetic. The metal has a lovely patina, but it's the colored glass that I find the most appealing.

At the entrance to Voyage of the Little Mermaid are three brightly colored lanterns which look like they've done hard days on the sea in the salt-filled air. That aging is called a patina, and it's one of the ways that Disney manages to keep all the areas of their parks so well themed. After all, who would believe they were in the Wild West without a little rust?

I've only done Enchanted Tales with Belle once, and while waiting in line I noted first these lanterns on top of the walls of the line. I love the way the lantern itself reflects the shape of a house with the upper gables, while also having a little flair like you might expect in a castle (like the Beast's castle maybe?), with the scroll shapes on the bottom and the diamonds across the lit area.

This lantern is the same shape as the one mounted on the walls of the line, but in this case the lantern is hanging on a wooden frame. The unity created by using the same design is really nice, especially as this is only one style of hanging lantern in the outdoor part of the line.

This light can be found on the way out of Enchanted Tales with Belle, before leaving the building. I love the way the metal is formed around the glass for this one.

The largest light in library, where you meet Belle, is this chandelier. It's relatively simple as far as huge chandeliers go, but it works really well for the space. I like it because the little scrolls on each of the arms are so small and understated, but they still make the shape of the chandelier more full, which makes it look more expensive. But besides all that, it just looks like the right chandelier to be in Belle's library in Beast's castle, doesn't it?

In the center room, where they hand out parts for the library, there are two semi-simple black chandeliers. They're appealing, to me at least, because of the details which make up the ring of the chandelier.

I love the wrought iron look of the details of these chandeliers, and I couldn't resist taking extra shots. I also like the ceiling medallion that the chandelier comes down from for that matter.
