Disney's Hollywood Studios^™ Dusk until Park Closing

Bask in the glow of one of the most popular holiday traditions at Disney's Hollywood Studios™. Come see the trees, spinning carousels, 3-D and motion-based displays. Delight in the flying angels, toy soldiers and giant Santa Claus light creations all strung along the high-rise backlot cityscape of Streets of America. This festive display of lights and sparkling holiday bulbs was designed by Arkansas businessman and philanthropist, Jennings Osborne. This tradition began 20 years ago when Jennings strung 1,000 red lights as a Christmas gift to his daughter, Breezy. Soon, their 22,000 square-foot home was covered in millions of lights. By 1995, the display found a new home at Disney's Hollywood Studios™ at Walt Disney World® Resort.

November 25 – December 30, 2011
