Every year during the holiday season, Disney's Hollywood Studios puts on one of my favorite things about WDW, the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights. TouringPlans.com announced today that these lights will be up from November 9, 2012, through January 4, 2013. The lights are lit every night in the Streets of America at a lighting ceremony at 6:00pm and stay lit until closing. Moderately large crowds tend to gather throughout the street shortly before the ceremony and dissipate slowly throughout the night. The alleged story behind the lights is that a daughter one year asked her parents to decorate their house in Christmas lights. Her parents happily complied and each year decorated their home in Little Rock, Arkansas with more and more lights. The house eventually became a spectacle, drawing in massive crowds. Eventually, an injunction prohibited the display was filed against the family by neighbors. To continue the display, the family worked with Disney to move the lights to Walt Disney World.
For anyone who remotely has an appreciation of Christmas, this is a can't miss event! I went for the first time last year and have never felt more in the "Christmas Spirit" than when I was surrounded by thousands of people and millions of lights with holiday music in the background and foam snow falling from above. Pictures cannot do the experience justice, as this is something you will truly need to see to believe. Coincidentally, I will be going back to the World this fall for the Wine and Dine Half Marathon on November 10! Can't wait!
