Castle Noel 

Castle Noel in Medina Ohio was such an amazing surprise!  The items/costumes on display were the actual items used in the films!  

There were many Macy's Christmas displays that typically are destroyed but Marc, the owner, was able to convince them to let him buy a few intact!   Bill thought there might have been a tad too many nutcracker themed ones but I was in heaven - all the sparkles and costumes.  I wish I could have captured the displays better.  The movements of the figures were simple but effective.  Some of the figures were waiting in a storage area - especially the Christmas around the world ones - either for repairs or room to display. 

Just such an amazing place - 2 hour tour and our heads were swiveling the whole time!   Highly recommend if you are near Cleveland!

Christmas from the moment you arrive
