Hope is not a strategy. But this is nice to see.
Hope may not be a strategy, but it is in many ways what GKTW runs on. They're all about inspiring hope, and getting their operation running again is a good way to do that. Hope isn't how they do it; it's what results from the doing.

I haven't been out yet, didn't even think about limited availability. But same, friends have been, would like to still see it.

I made it there tonight, and it looks amazing. I mean, it's sad that families that would benefit from the place can't be here, but it is lively with all the folks here. Like an ultimate open house.

If they're fully operating, I don't see how they could do it again. It would be very disruptive and potentially dangerous to the families staying there.

There was no "show" (except for the villa for iTEC), but it was definitely at that scale. The coverage on the core buildings, like Town Hall and the Star Tower, were impressive. They also covered many of the large trees in the older sections.

They're in the lawns and have displays from the various partners, including stuff in windows. But more to the point, those are actual streets that the wish families drive down and then park in front of the villas. You can't have people walking around in there.

And that is basically why it likely won't happen next year. I know it was discussed on how it might be accomplished but its a small chance. If anything they might decorate some of the town square area for the guests of GKTW but not actually open it to the public like this year.

Were the light displays the same as the Osbourne light displays from Studios back in the (still pretty recent) day?
So much so that they were the left over lights from Osbourne! But yes as Jeff said there wasn't any programming for the lights to dance. They wanted to make sure everyone could enjoy them. But kinda cool and nice to see the lights from Osbourne didn't go to waste.
