The purple cat is hidden in the display each year, it is kinda like a hidden Mickey! I think it was part of the original Osborne's display.
Your pictures of the lights are beautiful! I agree, my favorite is when they "dance" to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Just purely wonderfully magical!
That's the funniest story about Brandon gobbling for your turkey leg!!!
Definitely cool that he got it for free!
I can't believe Brandon just looks up and sees the purple cat! If I told him to look for it though, he would have never found it!
Thank you! I love the Trans Siberian Orchestra Christmas music, and being in Disney with the lights, it's so perfect!
I love that he got that turkey leg for free!
Cool window display.
I didn't know there was a hidden purple cat. Very cool that you found it. Your pictures are lovely. The colors are so vibrant. Love it!
Woo hoo for a free turkey leg. I would definitely gobble gobble for some free food.
Ugh - I can't believe how much it rained. I guess I'm glad we missed that weekend after all.
Yeah, I remember reading about the purple cat before I left for my trip, but I couldn't remember the story behind it, but I knew it was hidden!
Thank you, I took so many pictures of the lights, they're so beautiful you can't help it!
I know, it rained a lot! And there are still 2 more days of rain to share!
Good gobbling, Brandon! How cool that he got y'all a free turkey leg!
I wonder if we were at DHS on the same night? Our night was almost exactly like yours, except we did ToT before Star Tours. We ducked into the Muppets, too, because it was the closest way to get out of the torrential downpour. The rain was just terrible that night!
Love your photos of the lights...especially the purple picture
!
Ah, good ol' Nyquil...I hoped you woke up feeling better!
Haha, I can't believe he had to gobble, but whatever, it was free, so that works!
I think we were, I remember reading about it on your TR and I think it was the same night! I can't believe how hard it started raining, it seemed like it was going to just sprinkle at first, but then it turned into a hurricane, practically!
Thanks, I love taking pictures of the lights, they're so pretty!
Okay, I'm gonna need to join in on your October TR now! I was under the impression that it was almost done for some reason, haha I have no clue why.
You got some amazing pictures of the lights, goodness! Honestly, it seems like whenever I tried to get pictures, the lights were dancing so I would get a bunch of darkness haha.
THE PURPLE CAT! Yeah! When Disney bought the Christmas lights from the Osbornes, they accidentally took the cat from their Halloween display, too! So now every year they put it in a different place. HOW FUNNY that he just saw it!
Ahhhh YAY for the Yoda!!! Hahah I love him.
Brandon seriously got a free turkey leg for saying GOBBLE GOBBLE? That's the coolest thing ever. Why are some CMs so awesome?!?!
Come join the October TR, it's only half finished, I still have 5 more days of trip to write about! I actually like doing those updates more than this one, only because when I write about this trip, I remember being sick and how miserable it was!
Haha, that happened to me too, as soon as I'd try to get a picture, the lights would dance, but I made up for it when they weren't! I figured when they were dancing, I'd just try to watch them and enjoy it!
I love that story of the purple cat, that's so cool! I can't believe Brandon found it without me even telling him to look for it! Figures!
I love awesome CM's, especially ones that give you free food!
I think they only had a few left, since it was so late, so they probably would have thrown them out anyway!
I've never seen the Osborne lights (yet...) but there's a light display near by my house where you can set your radio to a station they broadcast and the lights dance in time. My favorite is the Trans Siberian Orchestra too!
Love the Muppets!
I saw someone on the boards here post a lot of great pictures after a rain storm. It seems to make the pictures more alive or something. Also, I think at night you can better photograph window displays! I tried and kept getting reflections!
That's pretty cool, I'd love to have a house like that in my neighborhood!
The Muppets are so cute, I really love that show, even if it is a little dated!
The parks do look pretty in pictures after the rain, everything just shimmers a little more! I'm terrible at taking pictures of window displays, I think you have to have your flash off! I always forget!
on being able to walk onto ToT - what great fun especially with it being dark as well!
You need to go on a Christmas Disney trip!
