No I am not referring to the “kooky” television family that seems to do things off the wall. I am thinking about Jennings Osborne who hails from Little Rock, AR. You might remember, he is the one who back in 1985 set up an elaborate Christmas decoration at his home. Every year, he added more lights, until it became so big; it got world wide press coverage when his neighbors took him to the Arkansas Supreme Court saying the attraction was a public nuisance.
It all started some 20 years ago, Jennings was so overwhelmed with the season of the year, and he did this for his daughter. Initially they had only about 1,000 lights, but over the years the exhibit grew and grew. The family even bought two adjacent houses to carry on the exhibit and expand the theme. Today, there are well over three million lights.
In 1995, after losing the Supreme Court case, the Osborne’s wanted to share their collection with the world. They sold the entire exhibit to Disney World to house and to show the collection two months each year.
The actual undertaking of setting up the exhibit goes into production in late July when the entire collection is pulled together. There are 10 miles of lights not to mention over 125 angels and 44 snow machines.
You can see this holiday extravaganza from November 8-January 3 this year at Hollywood Studios with your daily admission to the theme park.

When visiting Downtown Disney World, you will be surprised to find that the place has a sort of split personality. During day time, the place is like a big shopping district that is incomparable to any of the Disney properties, where you can find everything you need from mammoth stores with bigger than life display windows to the smallest and most quaint specialty boutiques. If you are almost at the end of your one week vacation, this is the best place to be, especially if you have no idea what type of souvenir you want to bring on your trip back home. Most of the larger stores can be found at the Downtown Disney Marketplace area, while the specialty shops are all packed together in the Downtown Disney West Side.
But during the night, the entire place is transformed into a lively area where all the lights come out in sync and the whole downtown area is filled with live music, a variety of stage shows and guests can also have the most wonderful dinner at a number of restaurants serving world class cuisine. After a tiring day at Disney World theme park, you can easily transform your day into an exciting night life. Most of the nightly attractions at downtown Disney World are concentrated on the West Side, although Pleasure Island also gets its fair share of nightly attractions, attracting quite a number of tourists to experience the night life of Downtown Disney.
When visiting Orlando, Downtown Disney is one of the places you should not miss. This is also one of the places you can visit where you can have the most enjoyable night life you can ever experience on your Orlando vacation. Ideal for adults and children, Downtown Disney has all the things you need to make your vacation as exciting and adventurous as you planned it to be.
