I am continuing with my coverage of Christmas events at Walt Disney World with these photos from the Osborne Family “Spectacle of Dancing Lights” at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
The lights recently premiered for 2008 and are always a big hit with holiday park-goers.
This huge undertaking includes: 5 million lights, 32 miles of extension cables, 66 snow machines, 100 gallons of snow fluid per night – and have you tried to find all 43 hidden Mickeys?
There is so much detail in each of the lighted scenes, my favorite is the dog in the lower left – it reminds me of my dog Keyla!
Bonus Video Clip: The 2008 Osborne Family “Spectacle of Dancing Lights”!

While in Florida last week I had a chance to see the the beginnings of the Walt Disney World Christmas decor. This is much later this year than last, when Disney MGM Studios was fully decorated before Halloween! Below is the Grand Floridian Resort’s Gingerbread House (celebrating it’s 10th anniversary)!
