    I am planning on going there sometime soon. ; Just not exactly sure when. ; Is there anything "special" about them this year? ; Did they do any kind of tribute for Mr Osborne?

    I've heard that there is a video screen somewhere with some Osborne family history. ; And I think the lights over the street leading to San Francisco are multicolored this year instead of just red as in the past.

    I still haven't shot these lights. This year for sure! But then, I said that last year too. ; ::)

    Actually, that's the problem. Say Oh, heck, I can go next week, often enough and you've missed it again!

    Get them now, before they dance off in the same direction as the lights of winter arch, and the christmas country bears. I believe they'll be gone within 5 years. As soon as the bean counters can show that everyone has seen them and they no longer draw enough new folks spending new money

    You're right, Gary. ; Every December when I'm stuck in the Streets of America with wall-to-wall people, I think "Too bad nobody comes to see the Obsborne Lights any more." ; ::)

    Today's Studios Central post lists some of this year's new features of the lights.

    That's correct. There is a tribute to Jennings Osborne in a window on the Streets of America. Some of the pictures are neat because they show the few locations of where the lights have been including their house and residential street.
    Another neat thing that make the lights really stand out is that they are ALL LED!!!
    A majority of the "hidden mickey's" are numbered this year.
    And finally there is a razorback as another tribute to Mr. Osborne.

    When the park closes down for the evening, do the lights stay on for a while longer or does it go dark? ; The reason I ask is that I am flying in on the 7th, which is the last day for the Osborne Lights (and the park closes at 7pm). ; I wasnt planning on taking my tripod with me this trip (just the monopod) and am starting to second guess that decision.

    I believe they go dark at a certain point. Something tells me that there is a finale of sorts then the lights go off and the ambient light comes back on. I could be wrong but I don't think so.

    I know in the past there was a finale dance then they would go dark at park close and sometimes on rare occasions it would be 30 minutes after park close.
