The Best Holiday Lights Displays in Orlando, Florida

If you are going to be in Orlando, Florida, during the holiday season then you are in for a treat. With all of the theme parks in the area, you will have more than enough to choose from when it comes to holiday light displays. If you do not know where to start, here are the best holiday light displays in the Orlando, Florida, area.

The Osborne Family Spectacle of Lights display actually started in Oklahoma at the Osborne home 18 years ago. But by 1995, the display had no longer there and had relocated to sunny Orlando. That was the first year that it was as Walt Disney World Resort and it made its first appearance at Disney-MGM Studios. And it has been a holiday staple ever since then. If you have never been to Walt Disney World to see the Osborne Family Spectacle of lights then you are truly missing out on something absolutely wonderful. You can see it during the holiday season, with the 2007 holiday dates lasting from November

12 through January 6, 2008. You will have to pay for the theme park admission in order to view the holiday lights, but I think you will find it well worth it. Disney usually has extended hours during the holiday season. You can check their Web site for the latest info on dates and even buy your tickets online in advance. The Walt Disney World Resort is located in Lake Buena Vista, Florida right off of Interstate 4 past the International Drive exit. Just follow the signs and you can't miss it.
