If DHS closes at 8:00...

And we just want to see the Osbourne Lights - can we show up at 7:50 and get in and wait for the crowds to thin out and watch the lights?

Don't expect the crowds to "thin" too much.

It can depend on if they have a Fantasmic! performance (and at what time that is.)

The O-Lights should be on for 60-90 minutes following the end of the first (or only) Fantasmic! show.

If there is not F! that night, I'm not sure how long they operate the O-lights.

On PM EMH, the O-Lights stay on for the duration of the EMH.

Thank you!

I guess I am not the only one with this little idea.

Yes.

When they START (first turn on the O-lights for the evening) is unaffected by whether they offer Fantasmic! or not.

We were there last week when DHS closed at 8 p.m. We rushed over there about 7:50 with the same concerns you have. However, the photographer told me that they keep the lights on until 9 p.m. I wish I had known that and I would not have rushed over (and gotten another ride on TOT!) The crowd did thin considerably after 8. We stayed until about 8:30 and at that point there was hardly any crowd.
