The Osbourne Spectacle

It's quite funny, everytime I mention going to the Osbourne Spectacle, everyone assumes it's some strange Ozzy Osbourne family thing. But what it actually is is the Osbourne Family Spectacle of Lights.

The Osbourne family did this spectacle at their home somewhere in Kentucky or something like that and essentially got into a lot of fuss with their neighbors and county so Disney offered to move this incredible light rig to Disney MGM Studios. The result is more people get to enjoy the lights without creating a nightmare for their town and neighbors. I used to never be interested in going. That's because I didn't understand that it really and truly is a spectacle. The first year I went, my jaw dropped at the display and it's now become a Thanksgiving weekend tradition. I went last night with a friend and we just felt like little kids, walking through the faux city streets, watching the "snow" fall. We're both former city rats so we had a sense of complete departure of Orlando, the cold air felt like November in Chicago or New York City - or even London as one of the streets depicts.

If you're in Orlando during the holidays and you want to feel like an innocent child again, in wonder over a something so simple, I highly recommend this experience. Here are a few pictures I took:
