SO, the dates for the lights for 2009 start Nov 30. We will hopefully get to see the first Candlelight Processional as the holidays at EPCOT start Nov 27. I have heard that there might be a chance that the lights may go on earlier. I'd hate to miss it by just 3 days. Anybody ever seen them go on earlier than they were advertised?

i hope it works out and you are able to see them.

When we were there mid-Nov 2005, the lights were turned on already.

The lights were already on when we were there in mid-Nov 2005.

I remember seeing that they were going to preview them a few days early when we were down there - I think that was back in 2006 maybe?

Wow, didn't know the dates had been released yet!

The lights will officially begin on our arrival day! How fun!

OP, hope you are able to see them.

We leave on the 29th; so I sure hope they start sooner-- I was thinking they start mid Nov. I hope we get to see them!

I was about to ask that also....

When we visited in November a few years back - 2005 or 2006, the lights were on quite early in the month. We felt very fortunate to see them then.

But it seems that WDW is moving towards a less ambitious schedule, moving them closer to Thanksgiving.

Not sure, but I do hope you get to see them - it's an incredible 'show'!

For those looking for confirmation...I did find this link:
Osborne Family Spectacle of Lights news - Confirmed dates for the 2009 Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights

Don't know where they got the info.

I just found the info on allears also. On there site there is a link on the left that says Full Festival Schedule. It lists the Osborne Lights for Nov. 30- Jan. 3. I'm really bumbed that it's starting so late. It will start the day after we leave and I was REALLY looking forward to it! Oh Well.

**gardengirl628** · 03-20-2009, 11:15 PM
