3. The Osborne Spectacle of Dancing Lights will be returning this year

Osborne Lights

In less than three months, the holiday season will be in full swing at the Walt Disney World Resort. One of the most popular displays is the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights. I am pleased to announce that the show will return starting November 7, 2014 and run every night through January 4, 2015.

The show requires more than 5 million led christmas lights and installation along the Streets of America begin next month.

Many have speculated that the lights may not return after this year due to the rumored Star Wars expansion coming to the park. From what I hear, the show is too popular to remove and the Streets of America will remain during the expansion. The Spectacle of Dancing Lights is the most impressive holiday display I have ever seen and comes highly recommended.

4. The American Film Institute Showcase closed at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

American Film Institute Showcase

The American Film Institute Showcase just closed at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. AFI is the exhibit at the end of the Studio Backlot Tour. The exhibit displayed movie artifacts and memorabilia. My favorite prop shown at AFI was a lifeboat that was used in the film Titanic.

The closure is likely due to a contract ending and for some reason Disney does not wish to renew. The closure could be viewed as a sign that a future attraction may be in the works for that area. For now it’s all just speculation.

The Studio Backlot Tour will now continue to be operational, but guests will not exit through the AFI exhibit.
