Disney Unveils Spectacular Nighttime Drone Show

A spectacular nighttime drone show named "Disney Dreams that Soar, Presented by AT&T" is set to enchant audiences at Disney Springs starting May 24.

This innovative show, running until September 2, marks the beginning of several exciting limited-time summer entertainment options at Walt Disney World Resort. Twice nightly, visitors can marvel at a nine-minute spectacle featuring 800 drones soaring above Disney Springs, each show promising a unique experience.

A sneak peek of the show's magic was shared on Disney Parks' Instagram on May 15, revealing glimpses of stunning imagery and iconic quotes from beloved Disney classics like "Star Wars," "Peter Pan," "Dumbo," "Wall-E," "Big Hero 6," and more. Accompanying the visuals are scores from the movies, along with an original composition crafted exclusively for the show.

Tony Giordano, the Show Director, expressed his excitement, stating, "We are presenting Disney characters who have had a dream of flying. Not just the idea that they can fly, but the idea of taking their lives to the next level." Giordano emphasized the inclusivity of the show, ensuring that audiences of all ages and fandom levels will find characters they adore.

Giordano eagerly anticipates the audience's reactions, considering it the highlight of his work. "That’s my favorite part of building any show because those reactions are why we do what we do. We want them to actually experience magic, and when you see all these drones, to me, you get to see real magic!"
