Light Up the Night syncs a mile of lights to music every hour
Tinsel Trail, a mile of lights, winds through all six of the park's holiday worlds. Every hour on the hour, every archway, display and installation along the route moves in time to a holiday soundtrack. The show runs from the Miami colors of HoliDade to the frosty Arctic Delight and ends with a parkwide finale in the new marketplace. It is included with admission.
