When new shows appear on the Disney World horizon, guests typically expect them to take place in the parks. A new parade, a new stage show, new concerts during festivals… But they all make their homes in one of the four theme parks. The upcoming “¡Celebración Encanto!” sing-along show beginning June 10 at EPCOT is just one example.
Beginning Memorial Day weekend, however, Disney World’s “fifth park,” Disney Springs, will be debuting a limited time drone show in the skies over the west end of the shopping and dining complex.
“Disney Dreams That Soar” will take place nightly from May 24 through September 2, 2024. Using music and Disney movie quotes, the state-of-the-art show will tell Disney stories that celebrate the joy of flight.
Disney fans have been hoping for a drone show at the Florida resort, following amazing drone shows in other theme parks around the world, including earlier this year at Disneyland Paris with its “Disney Electrical Sky Parade,” utilizing hundreds of drones, fountains and projection lighting; and the “Avengers: Power the Night” show at Walt Disney Studios Park.
Universal Studios Hollywood has also put on a drone show, with the Wizarding World’s popular (and spooky) “Dark Arts at Hogwarts Castle” show.
This will not, however, be the first drone show for Disney Springs. In 2016, “Starbright Holidays” briefly entertained guests over the Springs.
