Photo of the Week - Stinking Holiday Decorations!





Most people like the holidays.  I don't!  This would have been a great photo but the holiday decorations got in the way.  Granted most of the time the decorations don't get in the way.  However at the Magic Kingdom they certainly do.  If you want to avoid this you need to get really close to Cinderella's Castle or leave Main Street entirely.

Disney to Expand Holiday Decorations

Disney has always gone over the top when it comes to holiday decorations. If you’ve been to Disney World after the last week of October you’ve seen one of the largest and most in depth decoration schemes anywhere.

One of the central parts of Disney’s holiday decorations is the Osborne Family Lights display. This insane display contains millions of lights and is enormous. It is one of the biggest displays in the world.

“We’ve always been one of the biggest but that’s not good enough. We must be the biggest! Anything else is just second place. To ensure we are the biggest, we will be expanding the Osborne display,” President of XS Tech said in a recent press conference.

The new display will include an estimated five billion lights making it easily the largest single holiday display in the world.

The following was taken from a fact sheet that will be handed out to each guest at Disney Hollywood Studios during the holiday season:

- Contains five billion lights

- Can be seen from the moon

- If someone stands between you and the display you will be able to see their skeleton

- After five minutes of exposure to the lights without sun block you will get a sun burn

- When the display is turned on the rolling blackouts hit the entire east coast of the United States and the lights dim in China

- The temperature in the center of the display frequently exceeds 350 degrees Fahrenheit

- Uses enough power in one night to light the entire east coast for a week

Look for the new display this holiday season. If you cannot make it to Disney World but live within 700 miles of Disney World, just look for the glow on the horizon.
