They go all out with a special Disney theme. "It didn't start off this big," said Gary Vistalli, who is the mastermind behind the creation. "It just sort of evolved and every year - I add something to it. So every year a few more lights go up, or a new character shows up." <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> The home now has 30,000 lights and over 30 cutouts of Disney characters. They range from Mickey and Minnie, to a variety of princesses. The home is certainly popular with dozens of cars driving by to see it. Why Disney? The family says it's their passion. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> A very Disney holiday display. The Vistalli family in Antioch decorates extensively for the holidays each year, but since they are big Disney fans, many of those characters are on full display. The cool part, Gary Vistalli made all of these cutouts himself. <a href="https://twitter.com/abc7newsbayarea?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="nofollow"> @abc7newsbayarea </a><a href="https://t.co/rJibJthXZ1" rel="nofollow"> pic.twitter.com/rJibJthXZ1 </a> — Ryan Curry (@RyanCurryTV) <a href="https://twitter.com/RyanCurryTV/status/1606150054812606465?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="nofollow"> December 23, 2022 </a></blockquote> "I fell in love with it as a kid," Gary Vistalli said. "I knew that when I got my own house that someday I would start sharing my love for Disney." <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> His love for Disney is now grown into something his neighborhood loves to see. However, this year is different for the family. Gary's wife Kristen is now battling breast cancer. Despite the struggles the family goes through, they say they weren't going to let that stop them from putting up the display. "People are like oh you're still going to do it?" Kristen Vistalli said. "I am like, yes we are still going to do it, because I still want to give back because that is part of me, and that is how I feel connected to the community."

She says it gives her strength while she battles cancer. Each person that drives by, is one they say gets a big smile on their face. Every time that happens, the family also gets joy from it. In recent years, they started a toy drive with the Antioch Police Department. They say people will drive by and donate money that will help families in need. "Being able to add to that enjoyment by presenting something for the families, is just wonderful," Gary Vistalli said. Disney is the parent company of ABC7. <a href="https://abc7news.com/abc-news-live-local-watch/11513295/" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1S6MoK_0jsJayqD00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1S6MoK_0jsJayqD00" width="1280" height="720" ></a><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> If you're on the ABC7 News app, <a href="https://abc7news.com/abc-news-live-local-watch/11513295/" rel="nofollow"> click here to watch live </a></div></body>
