Dates announced for 2012-13 Spectacle of Lights

WDWInfo.com posted the dates for this year's Osborne Family Spectacle of Lights at Hollywood Studios.  They will be viewable from November 9 to January 4.  The article also goes into the history of the lights and how they got moved from the Osborne's home in Arkansas to WDW.
The display grew to millions of lights. There were flashing lights, multi-colored lights, custom-made light sculptures and a 75-foot Christmas tree adorned by lights. This drew onlookers from all over Arkansas. Displeased by the resulting traffic jams, the local residents asked that the Osborne family stop the annual display. Legal intervention was sought, and it appeared that the Osborne's beloved tradition was about to come to an end. When Mickey Mouse got word of this, he offered a venue where the Osborne lights could be shared with visitors from around the globe.
