SURE, DAZZLING NIGHTS IS A GREAT PLACE TO MAKE HOLIDAY MEMORIES THAT LAST A LIFETIME. AS YOU TOUR THROUGH MORE THAN 17 IMMERSIVE HOLIDAY WORLDS WE LOVE, FEATURING INTERESTING TAKES THAT IMMERSE PEOPLE IN THE SPIRIT OF THE SEASON. YEAH, I DO LOVE THAT. IT REALLY IS IMMERSIVE. I\u2019M GOING TO SHOW YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT EXPERIENCE THAT WE HAD. THIS WAS BEFORE IT EVEN OPENED UP. YOU GUYS SAID, COME ON IN, TAKE SOME PICTURES. SANIKA DANGE THERE AND HER HUSBAND AND I\u2019M THERE WITH MY WIFE. WE GOT TO EXPERIENCE MEDIA NIGHT AGAIN. COLE, THANKS FOR HAVING US OUT. WE LOVED THE SNOW. THE KIDS HAD A BLAST IN THAT. YES, CENTRAL FLORIDA KIDS DON\u2019T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT. THEY PLAY. AND THEN I THOUGHT THE INTERACTIVE STUFF WAS SO MUCH FUN. MY WIFE JUMPED ON THAT STUFF. THE VIDEO ON THE RIGHT THERE IS ME JUMPING ON. THAT WAS SUCH A COOL THING, AND WE\u2019VE SEEN IT FOR A FEW YEARS HERE AT DAZZLING NIGHTS, BUT THERE WAS A LOT MORE THAT\u2019S INTERACTIVE. IS THAT A BIG FOCUS OF WHAT YOU DO WITH CREATIVE CITY PROJECTS? YEAH, IT\u2019S NOT JUST ABOUT COMING AND LOOKING. IT\u2019S ABOUT, YEAH, IT\u2019S ABOUT PARTICIPATING.

WE REALLY DO TRY TO BRING A BIG DIVERSITY OF EXPERIENCES FOR OUR GUESTS. YEAH. AS YOU WANDER THROUGH AND YOU GO, WELL, THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE END, THEN THERE\u2019S MORE TO EXPERIENCE AND IT JUST KEEPS UNFOLDING. AND WE CAME UP ON SOME SINGERS AND THEY\u2019RE PERFORMING KIND OF IN THE MIDDLE OF DAZZLING NIGHTS. IT WAS AMAZING. YEAH, WE HAVE THE ROSE GARDEN THERE, RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THE BEAUTIFUL NEW GARDENS. THE ROSES ARE IN BLOOM THIS TIME OF SEASON. WE HAVE A 50 FOOT STAR THAT RISES UP IN THE CENTER, AND THEN BEAUTIFUL LIVE MUSIC HAPPENING RIGHT THERE AT THE BASE OF THAT STAR IN THE ROSE GARDEN.

YOU KNOW, THAT PATH OF LIGHT, PATHS IN THE GROUND THAT LIGHT UP WHEN YOU HOP ON THEM. AND SO IT BRINGS OUT THAT CHILDLIKE SPIRIT. BUT ALSO THERE\u2019S THOSE BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS OF ELEGANCE AND ARTFULNESS. AND I WILL SAY, SANIKA DANGE POSTED A GREAT VIDEO WITH HER LITTLE LITTLE GUY. HE\u2019S JUST TWO NOW.
