I took this at the Osborne Lights "Spectacle Of Dancing Lights" display at Hollywood Studios, Orlando. Sadly, it was not dark yet, and also it was hand-held, so there is a lot of shaking. What a wonderful light show it is. This is the last year it will be held, hopefully it will move somewhere else. What a treat! Here's the story behind the light show. It started in Arkansas in 1986 when a guy named Jennings Osborne put 1,000 lights up on his house for his young daughter. Each year more and more lights were added, and Osborne actually purchased property adjacent to his property in order to expand the display. By 1995 it had grown to several million lights, and the neighbors began to complain. He was sued and forced to cease and desist. But Disney heard about the plight and offered to buy the rights to the display, and they moved it to Streets Of America at Hollywood Studios, where it has been for 20 years. Sadly this is supposedly the last year for the display. But I suspect that it will be relocated somewhere else. It has to stay.
