Our family was driving home tonight and stopped to watch two houses that have tons of lights that are synchronized to music. We watched the lights dance to 4 or 5 Christmas songs and then.........Wishes from the 50th anniversary fireworks!!!! They began with the Julie Andrews intro and played through Pinnochio wishing he could be a boy. It was sooooo cool and soooo unexpected. My daughter and I were screaming. That was just a magical end to a lovely Christmas.

I just had to share with someone who wouldn't roll their eyes at me. :p

Thanks and Merry Christmas.

We saw those a few days before our trip. Didn't hear the Julie Andrews and Wishes, but were impressed when we saw the same "fireworks" lights on the USA float in the DEP!!!

THAT WAS AWESOME! Took the Family after dinner last night and with 7K+ watts and 24 speakers my Truck made it seem like we were right there on main Street.

Totally cool because it's two houses total that are syncronized to the music. Stayed to see and hear it twice but then the rain came and it was time to go.

;):cool:

So glad you got to see it!!! How long was it between "Wishes"? We only heard it once and were there for about 20 minutes. I am thinking of going back tonight.

Just got off work and there was already a few cars driving slow past the house.

'Wishes" played twice while we were there...so somewhere around the 20 minute mark is about right. best part is the fireworks imO.

SnowWhite7, give me a call and I'll get you those directions.:cool:
