The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights Late November 2009 to early January 2010
on the Streets of America at Disney's Hollywood Studios theme park is a massive seasonal display featuring millions of holiday lights perfectly synchronized to music.

The lights are so extensive, at first, it can be hard to comprehend their their extravagant magnitude. Sheets of multi-colored lights blanket building, twirling carousels, heavenly angels, and even Santa and his reindeer. Approximately every ten minutes, the lights dim and then miraculously spring to life — dynamically choreographed to traditional holiday music. You have to see the effect to believe it!

Some nights, if you truly believe in holiday magic, the entire show is even capped off with an enchanted flurry of snowfall.

The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights started modestly in Arkansas as a single home's annual holiday display. Every year, Jennings Osborne and his family set up an elaborate collection of holiday lights. Over the years, the collection of lights grew, and grew, and grew. Finally, in 1995, the Osborne family decided to share their magic with the world, and Walt Disney World Resort happily offered to become the new permanent home for this exceptional exhibition of holiday cheer.
