What TIME do the Osbourne Lights go on

[floridahippy]

Hi - we are so excited that these will actually be on during our holiday period but I am just wondering at what time each day (in November) they are actually turned on?
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Thanks

Well, that would be SUNSET.

Which usually means (most nights) nearly the same time folks are in the theater waiting for Fantasmic! to start, and MGM CLOSES.

BUT...
Since the Osborne Lights are such a large nighttime attraction, many nights, even after Fantasmic!, guests are invited to stay and enjoy the Lights, even though the rest of MGM is closed. There are even some snack and drink consessions open in that area.

To find out exactly when Sunset IS for your trip, look here:

If memory serves, Florida sundown late in the year is going to be between 6-7 p.m.

I want to say the lights went on at 6:00 last time we were there, but people were lining up waiting on them long before that.

I didn't go last year but the years before that it was 6:00, it usually gets dark between 5:30 and 6:00.

Each evening there is an opening ceremony that starts at 6 pm - lights go on a few minutes after.

Best wishes -

The official time that the lights are turned on is 6:00 PM,but last December when I was there they were turning them on at 5:45 PM,so if you want to video the lights coming on,I would suggest having your camera running at 5:44 PM.If they don't turn them on then,it will most likely be at 6:00 PM that night.It is an awesome display-there is even a special "radio station" covering the event and a "chance" of snow each evening.

It is an amazing thing to see. We could have wondered around there for an hour. I think my mouth was open the whole time we walked around. You will enjoy it!
