Celebrate The Osborne Family Spectacle Of Dancing Lights With A Merry & Bright Party

Osborne 2

Saying good-bye to a holiday tradition!

The holiday season is right around the corner and Disney World is already getting in the spirit. Disney recently gave us a sneak peek at some of the exciting things we can look forward to later this year, but along with the good news, there has also been some sad news announced. It is hard to believe, but after 20 years, we will have to say good-bye to The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights. I know some people will say that they are just Christmas lights and Star Wars Land and Toy Story Land will be even better, but I’m very sad to see them go. It has been years since I’ve been down to Disney World for the holidays, and I wish I would be able to see those 5 million sparkling lights just one more time. I’m definitely keeping my fingers crossed that Disney will bring them back one day, maybe in Disney Springs, along the Boardwalk, or a different park.

If you are going to be lucky enough to enjoy The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights during its 20th and final year, Disney is offering two Merry & Bright Party options to make the experience even more special.
