The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights at Disney-MGM Studios at Walt Disney World, Orlando, Florida. December 1, 2007
Song: Carol of the Bells by Trans Siberian Orchestra
History: The Osborne Family Spectacle of Lights was born at the Osborne home in Little Rock, Ark., in 1986. That year, Jennings Osborne strung a modest 1,000 red lights as a holiday gift to his 6-year-old daughter, Breezy. She had asked her father to make their house sparkle with holiday lights.
Thus, a new tradition was born.
"I added more lights each year," says Osborne. "And I just kept adding. I'm always chasing a dream."
In fact, Osborne's dream kept growing until 1993, when he strung more than three million lights. His 22,000-square-foot home, bathed in bulbs, was the site of curious sightseers and long lines of traffic -- crowds too large for those who lived in the neighborhood. Calling his display a nuisance, Osborne's neighbors took legal action -- all the way to the Arkansas Supreme Court.
Shortly after the court battle, Osborne packed his bulbs and took them to Walt Disney World Resort, where theme park guests -- surrounded on all sides by bright bulbs -- actually walk into his multi-colored display.

They may call their specific remix by a different name on their cd, but the origin of the music itself is the "Carol of the Bells" with a little bit of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" thrown in.
