Osborne Lights Officially Returning for 2015 for 20th and Final Season

[wdwmagic]

Has anyone found good quality recordings (not shaky, not walking, not spinning around and zooming in) video of the lights taken from each end of the 2 streets? It would be nice to have these out on youtube to look back on. Bonus points if there aren't folk yelling over the music.
4 videos total, where one focuses on the soldiers and tree.

If we could sync them to all play the same song, starting at the same time it would be the next best thing to being there.

Yes. I have a multi angle tribute that will be ready this week.

Thank you!!! I'll try not to put my expectations too high

Sorry I can't help you there. My footage captures a group of young women blasting rap music from their hand-held portable speakers as they danced their way through SoA. (Yes, that actually happened)

So nice of them to share.

Put them high, cause it's really good

Here right now for the second-to-last night. Will be the first time I see the lights, as well as the last. This was fun to see thoughView attachment 125291

Not the Muma !!!!

Everyone going tonight have a great time wandering under the Lights. Consider me jealous, but very happy for you.

FYI, for those trying to go the next two nights, it seems they still don't know for sure how to pull things off. I guess the dilemma is frieworks, since pushing them back would push back the start of the paid-for dessert party. So not sure if they will be pushed back last second or if lights will go on and then off and then back on and then off again...? Basically I guess it's gonna come down to being flexible if you wanna see them turn off for the last time.

Any word on how this is working tonight?

Has the parking lot been filling up by 11am or does that not happen till later on? Just curious since we have a lunch reserv and now wondering if we will make it in on time tomorrow.

Hello and goodbye, Osborne Lights. (Which were AMAZING, by the way!)

Around mid-day it has been closing, then reopening around 6 or 7.

Wasn't able to be at Studios tonight, but from what I can tell the fireworks were still at 8 and the Lights are still on (it's past 9 and the park closes at 10). So I'm guessing they did clear the area of guests and turned them back on once fallout had cleared? Or just gave up on safety and possibly kept them on the whole time...?

There were videos on social media from Streets of America with the Lights on and the fireworks blasting up in the sky. Looks great!

I was there last night. Was surprised how empty it was. I expect tonight to be crazy but I will probably still go.

I've always wondered what this would look like from the air. Any aerial photos of this at nite? As a kid my Dad would fly us in his piper Cherokee at nite along the Jersey shore. The contrast between the casinos all lit up and the dark ocean was a site to see. I imagine the spectacle of lights would be awesome too.

I don't usually mind when rides or attractions leave, but these lights were something else. I will miss them horribly. No point in going at Christmas time anymore for me. The other decorations are great, but not worth specifically going to see. I hope they (or something like them) come back in some form somewhere at Walt Disney World.

This event became way too crowded too enjoy IMO. Thousands of people packed in like sardines is uncomfortable and doesn't allow you time to enjoy the details.

Oddly, that's exactly how I feel about the Magic Kingdom. Both a victim of their own popularity.....and the Disney Marketing Machine.

Agreed, most of the details we see in pics I have never noticed first hand as the view I usually get while there is of anything over 5' off the ground.
