The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights is a display of Christmas lights and decorations at Disney's Hollywood Studios at the Walt Disney World Resort near Orlando, Florida. Initially constructed by an Arkansas businessman as a gift for his six-year-old daughter, the display has become one of the most popular attractions during the park's holiday season. ==History== Jennings Osborne (1943-2011), along with his wife Mitzi, founded the "Arkansas Research Medical Testing Center" in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1968. The business' success allowed him and his wife to eventually purchase a large estate in the middle of town in 1976. In 1980 the Osbornes had a daughter, Allison Brianne Osborne, nicknamed Breezy. In 1986, Breezy asked her father if they could decorate their home in lights. Osborne complied, stringing 1000 lights around their home. "Each year after that, it got bigger and bigger," Osborne would later recall.〔(Jennings Osborne Family )〕 Eventually Osborne purchased the two properties adjacent to his own and expanded the display into them. By 1993, the display had over three million lights. Some of the more prominent features included: * an illuminated globe, with Little Rock and Bethlehem marked, mounted in the back yard; * two rotating carousels of lights, placed on each end of the estate's circular driveway; * a -tall Christmas tree of lights with 80,000 lights in three colored layers, mounted atop the home's kitchen; and * a canopy of 30,000 red lights over a section of the driveway.〔Disney's Hollywood Studios audio spiel, 2007 edition〕 The lights were extremely popular in both in Arkansas and around the world, as news crews often visited to film the display. Since their house was located on one of the busiest streets in Little Rock, it eventually caused severe traffic issues, and lots of complaints. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
