Osborne Lights

[ginadee]

I plan on seeing the Osborne Family lights in dec. Is there a certain time that they open the section up kinda like a opening ceremony or do the lights just come on when it gets dark?

They do a lighting ceremony each nite right around dusk. 6-6:30ish, depending on the night. A child will be selected to flip the switch, and voila!

I loved standing in the street when they flipped the lights. It was spectacular.

Make sure you are on the Streets of America before 6 p.m. if you want to see the switch flipped. And trust me, you do!

Lights come on around dusk. The lights are awesome so you'll want to plan on seeing them more than one night if possible.

We went for the lighting this past Nov. We staked out a spot a little before 6pm and just waited. They do a little pre-show, so they won't come on right away. I also recommend grabbing some hot cocoa...somehow it just enhances the experience.

How long does it take to stroll thru? I have adr's for 8:00 and think maybe I can move them up if available.

Hi there! About 30 minutes but I've been known to spend an hour or more just wandering around and soaking it all in. It is quite amazing though so take your time and enjoy it for sure! The lights,music, snow, atmosphere - can't beat it!

I have seen the lights the last two years. Two years ago we were only there for 20 mins because my son was not happy about the dancing lights. Last year I was with friends and we were there for 2 hours. I just loved it. I would loved to have sat back in a chair with a hot chocolate and take it all in.

Perfect. I will definitely keep 8:00.

You can do the lights as fast or as slow as you want. We spent over an hour one night, but it could be done in 30 minutes.

Up to you and how much you want to see. Just want to see them dance once? Takes about 10 minutes and you can say you have seen then. Want to look for all the hidden mickeys? Or the black cat? Or slowly meander along and see all the different dance routines? Figure at least an hour. It's also home to the longest non-character Photopass lines I have ever seen, which can easily make that time that alot longer.

Yes hot cocoa is a great way to enjoy the festivities.
