There may be no greater display of Holiday Lights than the one that resides at the Walt Disney World Resort.  From it's early beginnings in Little Rock, Arkansas at the home of Jennings Osborne to its current home in Disney's Hollywood Studios, the Osborne Family Spectacle Of Dancing Lights has been a Holiday tradition for millions  to enjoy.

Awesome, Amazing, Jaw-Dropping, Awe-Inspiring, & Spectacular are just a few of the words that one could use to describe the Osborne Family Dancing Spectacle Of Lights at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

It all started in 1986 when Jennings Osborne's 6 year old daughter Breezy asked him if he would hang some Christmas lights on their house in Little Rock, Arkansas. This grew each year until in 1993 they had amassed over 3,00,000 lights in their display.

The neighbors were no longer endeared with the display and filed a law suit to make it stop. The Osborne's needed to find a new location for their now famous display.

In 1995, the Walt Disney World Resort gladly offered to become the new permanent home for this one of a kind Christmas light spectacle and the number of lights quickly grew to over 4,000,000.

It is appropriate that this "Ultimate Christmas Lighting Display" appears on the Streets Of America section of Hollywood Studios, since Holiday Lighting Displays are truly an American tradition.

2011 marks the 17th year that the lights have appeared at Disney's Hollywood Studios.  It is a process that begins in August and runs through the end of October to get all of the lights installed.  Each year the display keeps getting bigger and better with new additions to make it even more amazing.

The pictures below are amazing, but they do not do justice to walking down the Streets Of America in the middle of it all with the artificial snow falling and the music blaring just trying to take it all it.  This is something that every Disney World fan should strive to experience for themselves! 

The 2011 version of the Osborne Family Spectacle Of Dancing Lights will appear from November 10th, 2011 - January 7th, 2012.  Viewing the Lights is free with your paid Hollywood Studios admission.
