Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights:

As "snow" falls overhead, the Streets of America backlot cityscape at Disney's Hollywood Studios comes alive Nov. 12-Jan. 6, 2008, with millions of sparkling -- and dancing -- holiday lights during the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights. Snowflakes glisten, carousels twirl, toy soldiers march and Santa and his reindeer take flight in animated displays. The synchronized music and light show is presented in collaboration with famed Arkansas businessman Jennings Osborne, who developed the dazzling display for his daughter more than a decade ago at his Little Rock, Ark., home. The spectacle is included with Disney's Hollywood Studios admission.
