As we mentioned above, sports fans have the unique opportunity each year to enjoy
ESPN The Weekend at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Walt Disney World Resort. Dozens of well-known athletes, as well as ESPN personalities, attend the event each year, making this weekend a non-stop SportsCenter highlight reel for every sports fan in your family!

Another extremely popular and well-attended event at Disney Hollywood Studios is
Star Wars Weekends. Fans flock from all over the country to this theme park to meet their favorite Star Wars characters (as well as the actors who portray them in the movies), see special shows and parades and much more during this multi-weekend special event. Star Wars weekends do take place in the midst of summer, meaning that the most visited time of the year for the parks gets even crazier for this special event!
Disney’s Night of Joy is also converging on Disney’s Hollywood Studios for the first time in 2008 after making the move from the Magic Kingdom Park. This special event, which is held on back-to-back nights in early fall, features top Contemporary Christian bands and many of your favorite rides at the park for a private uplifting evening that is filled with surprises and activities.
The year-end special event finale at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is the
Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights, which is presented nightly at Disney’s Hollywood Studios for nearly two months during the holiday season. The Streets of America come alive during this celebration with millions of Christmas lights based off of the display made famous by the Osborne family in Arkansas. The lights even dance to the beat of a mix of holiday music throughout the evening while snow belts down on guests to complete the holiday experience. Any trip to the Walt Disney World Resort around the holidays won’t be complete until you have visited this unique holiday celebration!
From 1996-2008, Disney also played host to the ABC SOAPnet Super Soap Weekend at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This special event allowed daytime soap fans to get up close and personal with their favorite soap stars, but 2008 turned out to be the final ABC SOAPnet Super Soap Weekend at Disney. Beginning in 2009, ABC will launch the “Soap Nation Tour,” which will feature soap stars appearing at venues all across the country instead of just staging one weekend at the Walt Disney World Resort as they attempt to reach more fans country-wide.
