Location: Streets of America, Disney's Hollywood Studios

Back in 2009 Disney released a half hour Christmas special with the hope that the special would someday be watched regularly at Christmas with other specials like Rudolph and Frosty the Snowman. The show? Prep and Landing! The special focuses around two elves, Wayne and Lanny, who have a very important job: arrive at all the homes before Santa to prepare the homes for his arrival. The show ended up being loved by fans of all ages who watched it, which naturally in turn, meant it would be incorporated into the parks in some way, shape, or form.

If we head over to the Osbourne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights you will notice that six windows on one building now feature projections of the inside of the apartments (this was added last year to the Osbourne Lights). Throughout the night guests can find Christmas trees, snowmen, snow globes, trains, etc. inside the window much like the picture below:

While we get to see these Christmas items sitting in the window, at the start of different songs guests may realize that they aren't there. Where are they exactly? With a careful and quick eye guests can see that Wayne and Lanny are on duty tonight and are preparing for Santa's arrival of these Christmas gifts!

So there you have it! If the Osbourne Lights didn't represent Christmas enough, we can now see that Santa is truly on his way here on the Streets of America!
