Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights

In 1986 Jennings and Mitzi Osborne began decorating their home with Christmas lights at the request of their daughter Breezy. Each year the display became more extensive and eventually included over more than 100,000 lights. When neighbors began to complain the story garnered national attention and Disney offered to move the display into the are of Disney MGM Studios known as Residential Lane (now Streets of America).

Since the first in-park display in 1995 it has only continued to grow. There are now over 5 million lights used in the show, with many individual displays choreographed to music such as "Christmas Eve" by Trans-Siberian Orchestra or "Feliz Navidad" by Jose Feliciano.
