Plan a December Vacation to See This Amazing Light Display!
Every year, we look forward to seeing the Osborne Family Spectacle of Lights at Disney's Hollywood theme park. Disney always puts on a good show and this is no exception. Each year it seems to get better and better. As you would expect in a Disney theme park, the display is first class. Thousands of lights dance on and off to music. The crowd oohs and ahhs, takes pictures and enjoys the fake snow falling gently down in the 60 or 70 degree temperatures.
It's magical. Disney Hollywood, and all the parks, get really crowded at Christmas time. Everyone is happy and being part of the crowd adds to the festive feeling.

Where the Light Display Will Be in Disney Hollywood Studio
The lighting show starts as soon as it gets dark enough. People start gathering in the Streets of America area of Disney Hollywood Studios. The view is good from almost anywhere.There are bigger crowds the last two weeks of December, so go in November when it's first up or in the first two weeks of December.
