Nobody can understand what it was like to stand in the middle of all those lights unless you were there. Videos and pictures really give it no justice. It was overwhelming. It's truly something I'll miss, and I actually makes me pretty sentimental.

@joshberninger8355 3 года назад

Jack11 I haven’t been to SDC but have been to Dollywood’s Christmas and it can give you an idea but it was nowhere near the scale and full immersion you got with Osborne. With them all being in one spot at Disney you were completely surrounded by lights.

@brianwolf399 2 года назад

I agree I have some pictures of my family and I standing with them my favorite song that the lights danced to was trans Siberian orchestra carol of the bells

@Ashyri 5 лет назад

KerrysHauntedHouse, when I first went in 2007 I thought it was named after Ozzy Osbourne, I was saddened.

@kerryshauntedhouse3414 5 лет назад

@@Ashyri I would have felt the same way - because weren't they still popular about then? Why wouldn't it be about Ozzy and Sharon et al? Lol I am so glad I am not the only one though. I watched this for about 5 minutes before realizing that at no point was Ozzy showing up - I really thought "oh, Sharon probably saw this and wanted to install something similar at her house...." Now I'm sad I will never see them at all! Does Sharon know about this? She is known for doing incredibly expensive things on the spur of the moment,right? Jack? Kelly? The other sister? Are you out there watching?

@Ashyri 5 лет назад

I grew up in Little Rock, Arkansas and I remember visiting his neighborhood every year when I was a kid. Driving by his house at Christmas to see the lights was basically tradition! My family gradually grew out of this tradition as my brother and I got older. Interesting to see where this went afterwards! Super nostalgic

I had no idea on the history behind the light show. I have only seen the light show on RU-vid and not in person. It is a shame they got rid of it as I think this is better than the 2 shows that they currently offer in Hollywood studios. I am sure the parks are not as packed for the shows now as it was back then.

@kettd007 5 лет назад

I don't think that would work, with the pyro mounted on the building, layout, as well as other show elements. I'm sure they thought of the alternatives, but I guess it just didn't work out. I loved the lights and miss them also, there are still a lot of Christmas things to see.

@meep7422 5 лет назад

When I was a kid living in Arkansas, I remember every year my mom would drive us past the Osborne Christmas light display. It was gorgeous, but I also remember how impossible it was to get through the traffic. I can't exactly blame the neighbors for complaining! I still miss it, though.

It’s amazing how Disney is good at completely removing and forgetting some old attractions, or in this case events, since though I hadn’t gone to WDW at Christmas until 2017, I had no idea Hollywood studios had a light show/ large event like magic kingdom or Epcot, shame I never saw this in real life, looked like an amazing spectacle that would’ve made some fond memories, especially since it puts universals set decorations to shame

@Dawangthang 5 лет назад

I was actually doing my College Program during the last season of the light display. Not only was it the last year of the lights but I was stationed at Pizza Planet so it felt like I was part of the ending of two locations for Studios. It's kind of crazy to think we were both working at Studios during the same period. Goes to show how small the world can be sometimes lol.

@PinkTeaTuesdays 5 лет назад

I used to work at Toy Story Mania during this time and we had to "clear the park" at the end of the day. It was so fun when it was just me and one other cast member with no guests, skipping down the Streets of America with all the lights on. :D

@Kazemaru 5 лет назад

I got to go and check out the lights a few years back with some friends. However I legit thought going into this event these lights were from Ozzy Osbourne and his family. I didn't understand why Ozzy and his family would do this for Disney but I thought it was a great experience. But thanks to this video I have a better understand of the lights. Thank you and great job on this video.

@Atmblack03 4 года назад

My favorite memory was i believe 2009, we somehow lucked on a very light week in early December. Couple that with the magic hours i absolutely had the entire display to myself. It was unforgettable how brilliant it was to stand alone in the center of this show and feel the warmth of it.

@shonapushedplay4326 5 лет назад

One of my Disney sadnesses' is never getting to see them in person. They marked the end of a HS era that began when it changed from MGM. It will always sadden me that Streets of America was sacrificed for the (much needed) park updates. And I'll miss being able to take a peek at the costume department on the backlot tour, I always thought I might work there one day. This video made me totes emosh!

@JAEkebruh 5 лет назад

For anyone wondering the system they used from 2011 and on was a light o Rama system you could see some of the controllers if you knew where to look (You could see a lot of the pixel controllers for the canopy) The crew for the lights consisted of 30 people who worked overnight from August to November They don’t even know the exact number of lights. They know it’s over 5 million but they said they have just added and added but haven’t taken the time to actually count. The court documents regarding the lawsuit can be found online and state the exact numbers of lights that were on display at the original house in Little Rock The types of lights in the display are known as 5mm conical LEDs and are pretty much as bright as it gets for Christmas lights. I can say from experience that these will outshine everyone in your neighborhood.

I visited SDC last year and I can confirm, the Joy To The World globe is totally the Peace on Earth globe, just with new text above it. The globe itself is slightly dimmer than the sign above it, but the difference is just barely visible. If it isn't the same globe, it's a really nice reference for theme park fanatics like myself.

I remember this so well. I was honestly sad to see them go. I have always thought they could incorporate them as a part of the new holiday show on the Tower of Terror. But this really was one of the joys of the season. I don’t think that Brandson got the lights. The draw would be to say they have the Osborn Lights. Btw Happy Holliday’s Sam and even watching this out a smile on my face. Thank you.

Why is the Nativity scene in the Italy Pavilion? Because there is no Israel Pavilion. If there were one, the Nativity scene would've been situated there. Other grounds is that Italy is a biblical country, where Paul the Apostle has been to based on the New Testament. The Christmas story is about the birth of Jesus, which is in the New Testament.

Its not like he was making any money off of them when he was hanging them up at this house. They were likely costing him a lot more just due to the amount of electricity he was using, along with the cost of hanging them all up. If his goal was to make money, he could have probably bought a piece of land, built a road through it and charged for admission to go through and see the lights.
