Katman1356...Jason 1,140 Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Per the Disney Parks Blog this season will be the last run for the Osbourne lights. http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2015/09/osborne-family-spectacle-of-dancing-lights-celebrate-a-delightful-holiday-tradition-one-more-time/ The holidays are fast approaching and we know that many of you are starting to make your plans. Two more options for holiday fun at Walt Disney World Resort will soon be available to book: the Merry & Bright Dessert Party (Nov. 6-Dec. 30) and the Merry & Bright Dinner Reception (Jan. 1- 3), both overlooking The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.With the dessert party, guests will enjoy holiday-themed desserts while surrounded by the amazing light display. New for 2015 is a dinner reception Jan. 1 – 3, featuring a selection of small bites including beef, shrimp and turkey, plus wine, beer and specialty beverages. You’ll be able to book these experiences beginning Sept. 16, so check back at DisneyWorld.com around that time for full details and to reserve your spot. As you plan ahead, we also wanted you to know that this holiday season will mark the finale for The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights. The display of lights has enjoyed a successful run at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, going all the way back to when it first appeared on Residential Street.In order to prepare for some incredible experiences coming to the park, including the recently announced Toy Story Land and a Star Wars-themed land, we will not be able to present The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights in the future. Our heartfelt thanks go out to the family of Jennings Osborne for letting us share their family tradition year after year. And thank you to all of you for being part of the spectacle with us. Here’s to making more memories in this, the 20th and final year. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Wow. They can't be any more clear than that. I am surprised they announced it. Boy, it will be crowded this year. The TCD twins are going to be sad. They both have said they'd be sad if this ends up being the last year for the Osborne Lights, and they don't get to see them since they're working in Disneyland. I'm sad now too, because it means I might need to spring for a couple of flights from LA. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bring in even more people and so no one can bitch at them for not telling them this was their last chance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I dont have anything else handy right now. Yeah, I saw that. The January 3rd date surprised me, and got me to wondering how long they'll be around this season. Maybe they'll keep them up longer than normal since it's the last year. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TCD In the past they have stayed up through Marathon weekend as they route runs through there. I wonder if the route is staying the same or if they have changed it.

Beckers 1,136 Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Wth is wrong with me that I'm considering the dessert party? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
swimmarz 72 Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I saw this for the first time last year with my kids, luckily we are booked again this year so we get to see it one more time, it really is magical and crowded Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wdwpoohbear...Jennifer 40 Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Wth is wrong with me that I'm considering the dessert party? I was thinking the same thing about myself. Not sure I'll do it, but am considering it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Momof6....aka Marty 769 Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 This was on my bucket of things to see before I die. Since I strongly doubt I will get to see it this year, does this mean I am going to live forever? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Very sad. Hopefully Kassie stays well enough for us to make our trip and see them one last time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
momof3kids-Yvonne 594 Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I originally had this in my plans when we were going to be there for Halloween. I am sad that I will never get to experience this, but then I am reminded what today is and suddenly I gain perspective. Many lost the chance to plan to go see this 14 years ago. fladogfan aka Gretchen 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
