Osborne Lights Stay on all night?

[WDWoptmist]

I'm staying at the dolphin and can see all of HS perfectly...the park closed at 9:00 tonight and all of the lights are off BAH ToT RnRC everything but the Osbourne Lights are still on 2 and a half hours later dancing and everything! It's really cool to see from a distance but does anyone know why they stay on? Sorry for the bad picture all I could get through the window!

Private party maybe?

I was there yesterday and there wasn't a private party. Interesting.

I was going to say, I had a shift recently there where I was leaving roughly 1hour past close and the lights were completely dark. Mind you it was a Saturday with a 8pm close

Maybe they were doing maintenance.

Maybe they were doing maintenance.

Don't you know that TDO is notorious for not doing maintenance?

Ralph, the maintenance man, has been a bit over extended ever since DAK was built and I'm afraid BLT may have really made things tough on him. BUT, he does like the Osborne festival of lights.

Interesting…I would like to know if they are on all night!

 

[gsimpson]

I agree with maintenance.

From what I've seen this year they are shutting them off pretty close to the scheduled close time for the park. I was there (standing in front of the hat) a little after official close a week or 2 ago and looked over to notice the lights had been turned off. I've also heard reports from others being aggressively swept from the area at the official park close time.

There was a private event on Streets of America last night.

We were told the lights stayed open an hour after park closing. We were there a half hour after closing a few days ago, and no one was trying to get anyone to leave. Maybe that's only on Nights with the late Fantasmic show?

Yeah but they gave him a break, they downsized allot of attractions.

Lights only stay on later when there is a private party -- those usually start an hour or so after park closing...

No... Could you imagine the electric bill?

Their rebuilding Residential Street.
