The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights was a display of Christmas lights and decorations at Disney's Hollywood Studios at the Walt Disney World Resort near Orlando, Florida.

One of Magic Kingdom's big three mountains, Big Thunder Mountain has been taking guests on the wildest ride in the wilderness since 1980.
