The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights

The holiday lights are shining bright at Disney’s Hollywood Studios’ Streets of America. This spectacle of lights has been lighting up the park along with synchronized music during holiday season since the mid 1990s. Happening nightly through January 4th, this light-up-the-entire park epic dancing light extravaganza is one to not miss!

Approximately every 10 minutes, the lights dim and then begin their “show” as they start rocking out (dancing) to holiday music. The songs include:

“A Mad Russian’s Christmas” – Trans-Siberian Orchestra

“Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12-24)” – Trans-Siberian Orchestra

“Feliz Navidad” – José Feliciano

“Jingle Bells” – Barbra Streisand
