Below: Those who bought a Magic Wand can wave it at certain signs to hopefully see some action. At this Peace on Earth Area, the wand made the water fountain spout upwards in 2023 but not in 2024. But otherwise, this water fountain, pond and surroundings were the same in both years.

Below: Two snow globes "Believe in Santa Paws and "Naughty or Nice" - both were just outside of the Lighted Tunnel, which can be seen in these photos, and in the photos a bit below in 2023 and again in 2024.

Below: The "Naughty or Nice" snow globe - and the ever changing Tunnel of Lights in 2023. Notice the illuminated snowflake in the photo below. It is one of many illuminated snowflakes seen throughout this exhibit. (It is used with the snowflake wand that could be purchased and was explained at the top of this page) It makes certain parts of an exhibit move, hopefully.
