LIGHTS: Disney's Dancing Lights illuminate the dark night.

Every year, Disney's Hollywood Studios hosts an amazing event known as the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights. Millions of lights are put up throughout the Streets of America in Hollywood Studios and at night they come alive with music and snow.

This year Disney has once again outdone themselves in creating a holiday masterpiece. At dusk each evening, the Streets of America are brightened with over three million lights. There are lights of every color and in every design. There is a giant Earth globe with the words "Peace on Earth" surrounded by angels. There is a giant snowman, a giant Santa, a variety of trees and other holiday decorations. The lights are designed in the most unique and amazing ways.

The lights are usually lit up and holiday music plays in the background, while snow falls from the roof. However, every few minutes the lights decide to dance. The lights dance to a Christmas tune in a way which words cannot describe. Needless to say, it is a magical experience that can never be forgotten.

The Osborne Family Spectacle of Lights is included in a regular theme park admission to Disney's Hollywood studios. A one day ticket for Disney is $71.10 for Florida residents. All Rollins students are considered Florida residents, and need only show their student ID to receive the discounted ticket. For annual passholders, there is no additional charge for the Spectacle of Lights.

If you have never been to Disney in the holiday season, it is important that you go. Each year, the Disney parks are transformed into a truly magical holiday atmosphere. Holiday music abounds in the parks, and holiday decorations are to be found everywhere. Additionally, the weather is perfect for a day at Disney. The holidays are the perfect time to experience Walt Disney World.
