Jayden loved watching the fireworks and various shows we went to. Here he is watching a performance of Beauty and the Beast at Hollywood Studios (and yes, that is his tongue sticking out-a new fun thing he likes to do).
The next pictures are of the fireworks above Cinderella's Castle. They had her castle covered in lights, which looked amazing at night.
At Hollywood Studios they put on what they called the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights. As the story goes, Arkansas resident Jennings Osborne and his family were very big on the Holidays. In 1986, Jennings asked his youngest daughter Breezy what her Christmas wish was. She replied that she would like to see their whole house covered in lights. They had quite a large house but Jennings was determined to make his daughter's Christmas dream come true. That first year the Osborne family covered their home with a modest 1000 red lights. With each passing year, the family wanted to do more. The Osbornes eventually purchased property adjacent to their own in order to expand on their newfound hobby.
The display grew to millions of lights. There were flashing lights, multi-colored lights, custom-made light sculptures and a 75 foot Christmas tree adorned by lights. This drew onlookers from all over Arkansas. Displeased by the resulting traffic jams, the local residents asked that the Osborne family stop the annual display. Legal intervention was sought, and it appeared that the Osborne's beloved tradition was about to come to an end.
Fortunately, a new home was found for this magical attraction...at Hollywood Studios!
And despite all the fun, the best part was they also had a nativity scene. I love, love, love that!
