Hey! Who Turned Off the Lights?

Saturday August 2, 2003
It's a little soon to be thinking about Christmas. But if you were thinking about heading to Walt Disney World this holiday season to see the annual Osborne Family Spectacle of Lights at Disney-MGM Studios, think again. The bad news is that Disney is bulldozing the backlot street at the park, which featured the "Golden Girls" house among other notable facades and provided the backdrop for the light display. The good news is the park will use the area to develop a new, as-yet unnamed stunt show attraction. Disney reps say that the lights will return elsewhere at the resort in 2004. Maybe it's NOT too soon to be thinking about Christmas. Check out these Christmas-themed parks:
Santa's Village in New Hampshire
Holiday World in Indiana
