Quote:

As the brilliant Christmas lights are turned on throughout the Park, special hologram glasses will give guests extraordinary Christmas vision, and delightful patterns will appear when guests watch the Sparkling Castle Lights, the white glittering Christmas tree and even the Disney in the Stars fireworks display.

Well done!

Didn't MGM have those glasses one year for the Osborne's lights, before they dances?

The Studios had those for a number of years, back when the Spectacle of Lights was on the now-just-a-memory Residential Street. I suspect they were dropped for budgetary reasons.

Residential Street was the only really effective venue for SOL (love that acronym). Walking down that street, it really felt like visiting a suburban neighborhood that had gone completely bonkers with the holiday decor. on the other hand, putting those millions of lights on the New York Street facades just feels like a theme park that put up a bunch of lights. The sense of taking a journey is gone, and there is little charm to the spectacle as it now stands.

I still have a pair of those hologram glasses in a drawer somewhere.

When do I get my cut?

Hmm, from the description it seems they're not prismatic rainbow glasses, but more like these -

Awesomness.

Yes, exactly. Fireworks glasses. My patented fireworks glasses have always been separate from my patented Space Mountain glasses.

Fireworks glasses produce images of snowflakes, or Noel, or - best of all - Stars of David - on every piece of flaming pyrotechnic. We used to use them quite a bit during holiday fireworks in years past. Should I bring them out again??

And I still want my cut.

Oh sure -- all the years I come down for my birthday and most of y'all are too busy, but the one year I don't it's a swanktacular with glasses.

I remember seeing the Osborne lights in 2002, and the glasses distributed then turned the lights in little angels...
