Christmas is a time for special celebrations, and spending some time at one of the Walt Disney World parks is a uniquely wonderful way to say Happy Holidays. An annual Orlando yuletide event that is super popular among locals and vacationers alike is The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights at the Disney-MGM Studios (soon to be Disney Hollywood Studios). Another fantastic holiday opportunity you will not want to miss is the cheap theme park tickets you will find right here at OrlandoFunTickets.com, your most spectacular source for discounts on tickets to Walt Disney World and all of the Orlando attractions.

All of the theme parks at Walt Disney World are beautifully decorated for the holiday season, but nothing wraps itself around park guests quite like the Osborne Lights. You feel like you actually walked into Christmas. There are lights on practically every inch of every surface you can see, and when the festive music starts the light dancing begins.

The tradition of this extraordinary Christmas display began over 20 years ago in Little Rock, Arkansas, when six-year-old Breezy Osborne asked her daddy to put up some Christmas lights. Not being able to say no to his little girl, Jennings Osborne adorned their home that year with a modest 1,000 lights. The display expanded as the years went by and contained 3 million lights by 1993!

The Osborne’s neighbors did not get so caught up in the holiday spirit, however, and they complained about the inconveniences the exhibit caused. Following a law suit, the Arkansas Supreme Court put some restrictions on the Osbornes and eventually shut down the holiday display all together. But there is a happy ending.

The folks from Disney contacted Osborne and arranged to acquire his family’s illuminating extravaganza and turned it into a holiday attraction at the Disney MGM Studios back in 1995, and the show is still going strong. The Osbornes also sponsor Christmas light displays in 32 cities across the State of Arkansas. Now there is a generous guy who really loves Christmas!
