Osborne family spectacle of dancing lights at Disney

Spotlight on Disney World in Orlando, Florida. November 9, 2012 – January 6, 2013 will feature the musical magic of the Osborne Family Spectacle of dancing Lights. Located inside Disney Hollywood Studios Theme Park, this light show has graced the park since 1995.

The synchronized holiday light spectacular takes place on the Streets of America section of the park and is free with the purchase of a park ticket to Disney Hollywood Studios.

This grand display, which is now occasionally topped off with the magic of snow in Florida, started at the Arkansas home of the Osborne family.

That’s when Disney World offered to help them out.
