Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights

Have no clue what I’m talking about? Well, if you keep scrolling down, you soon will! The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights is hands down one of my favorite parts of Walt Disney World during the Christmas season! I love to look close at the smaller picture, capture details in the lighting, and find hidden Mickeys throughout the display! Can you guess my absolute favorite part of the Wine & Dine Half Marathon course? Yep, our short run through the Osborne Lights in Hollywood Studios!

These are a must-do for anyone visiting Hollywood Studios during the Holidays. This year, the dates range from November 7 2014 to January 4 2015 and the lights are displayed nightly at 6 p.m.

A few fun facts about the Osborne Lights:

  • 5 million lights
  • 20 snow machines
  • 2,000 gallons of snow fluid a night
  • 43 hidden Mickeys

Today’s post IS a Wordless Wednesday (well, almost)…and is hosted by: Focused on the Magic!
Theme: This Is Really Good!

According to Disney Tourist Blog - In 2011, Jennings Osborne, the creator behind the original light display passed away. In the years since, Walt Disney World has added a nice tribute to him in the form of a lone white angel amongst the angels that circle the globe. A fitting nod to the man who created that shine so brightly on the ‘World. What a special tribute!

Do you like to search for Hidden Mickeys throughout the parks? Have you seen the Osborne Lights in the past?  I hear there’s also a black cat in this display that moves every year, but I’ve only found him one time (several years ago) and didn’t realize he was on the move from year to year!
