>> Lisa: NOW AT 7, SPECTACULAR HOLIDAY DISPLAYS ALL OVER CENTRAL FLORIDA.
FOR MOST OF US, JUST PUTTING UP
THE CHRISTMAS TREE CAN BE A
MAJOR DECORATING FEAT BUT OTHERS
GO ALL OUT FOR CHRISTMAS.
>> Ginger: AT 5, NEWS 6
INVESTIGATOR ADRIANA EVASHINSKI
GAVE US A SNEAK PEEK AT TWO
PLACES THAT MADE OUR EXCLUSIVE
NEWS 6 TOUR OF LIGHTS LIST.
NOW SHE’S BACK WITH ANOTHER ONE
YOU REALLY HAVE TO SEE TO
BELIEVE.
>> Reporter: WE’RE TALKING ABOUT
DISPLAYS THAT WOULD MAKE
WHOVILLE PROUD AND TURN CLARK
GRISWALD GREEN WITH ENVY.
I CREATED A LIST OF MORE THAN 30
HOMES AND A COUPLE OF BUSINESSES
THAT ARE LISTED HERE ON THIS
MAP.
AND THESE ARE PLACES THAT REALLY
TAKE CHRISTMAS TO THE EXTREME.
NOW, I’VE PLOTTED THEM ON THE
INTERACTIVE MAP WHERE YOU CAN
SEE THE NAME OF THE PLACE HERE
AS WELL AS THE DATES AND TIMES
AND EVEN A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA
STUFF.
YOU CAN SEE JUST HOW FAR AWAY
THEY ARE FROM YOUR HOME.
BUT I HAVE TO SAY, THERE’S ONE
OF MY FAVORITES THAT YOU’LL SEE
ONLY IN ORANGE COUNTY AND IT’S
MAKING A RETURN APPEARANCE ON
NEWS 6’S TOUR OF LIGHTS TONIGHT.
TO MAKE THE NEWS 6 TOUR OF
LIGHTS, YOU HAVE TO BE PRETTY
SPECTACULAR AND THE LIGHTS HERE
DEFINITELY FIT THE BILL.
LOCATED AT THE END OF GEORGIAN
STREET IN WINTER PARK, IT’S
WHERE ERIC JOHANSSON AND HIS
ENTIRE FAMILY OPEN UP THEIR
FRONT YARD TO THE ENTIRE
COMMUNITY AND THROW A NIGHTLY
CHRISTMAS PARTY UNLIKE ANY
OTHER.
>> THE GOAL IS ALWAYS BIGGER,
BRIGHTER, MORE LIGHTS.
>> Reporter: THIS PLACE IS
ALWAYS A FAN FAVORITE IN ORANGE
COUNTY AND CHANGES FROM YEAR TO
YEAR.
BUT ONE THING THAT REMAINS THE
SAME ARE THE SPECIAL MEMORIES
THAT ARE MADE.
>> WE COME EVERY YEAR.
AND THREE YEARS AGO, ABIGAIL WAS
5 AND SHE GOT TO ACTUALLY TURN
ON THE LIGHT DISPLAY AND LIGHT
UP THE WHOLE YARD.
IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.
>> Reporter: ERIC SAYS THIS
YEAR’S DISPLAY IS A LITTLE
SMALLER THAN YEARS PAST, BUT AS
YOU CAN SEE, IT’S STILL PRETTY
MASSIVE, COMPLETE WITH AN
INTERACTIVE STAGE, MORE THAN
400,000 TWINKLING LIGHTS.
>> WE CREATED AN AREA TO GET
BEHIND THE WALLS OF THE CASTLE
AND GET A FAMILY PICTURE.
>> Reporter: AND THERE’S BLOWING
SNOW, BUBBLES AND EVEN A GIANT
SLEIGH.
>> WE SPENT A WEEK WITH A LIFT
AND GOT UP IN THE TREES AND PUT
THE LIGHTS 35, 40 FEET IN THE
AIR AND BUILD A CANOPY EFFECT
OVER THE ENTIRE PROPERTY.
>> Reporter: IT TAKES A TOTAL OF
THREE MONTHS TO PULL OFF THIS
CHRISTMAS MIRACLE AND THEY
STARTED WORKING ON THIS DISPLAY
IN MID-SEPTEMBER.
BRING IT IN JUST A LITTLE BIT,
IT’S GOTTEN SO BIG.
>> Reporter: HE STARTED GOING
BIG FOR CHRISTMAS TO MAKE HIS
FOUR KIDS HAPPY.
BUT NOW HIS ELABORATE CHRISTMAS
DISPLAY HAS BECOME KNOWN ACROSS
THE STATE AND IT’S KNOWN ON
LOCAL AND NATIONAL TV AND IS
MAKING A RETURN APPEARANCE HERE
ON NEWS 6.
ERIC SAYS HIS CHRISTMAS WISH IS
THAT THIS LABOR OF LOVE WILL
KEEP MAKING FAMILIES DANCE FOR
JOY FOR YEARS TO COME.
>> HOPEFULLY YOU’LL WALK AROUND,
HAVE A GOOD TIME AND PLAY IN THE
SNOW AND BUBBLES AND TAKE
PICTURES AND I HOPE YOU CREATE A
GREAT FAMILY MEMORY.
>> Reporter: WAS THAT NOT
INCREDIBLE?
YOU SEE WHY SO MANY FAMILIES
COME BACK YEAR AFTER YEAR.
