Disney has shared a behind-the-scenes look at preparations for the upcoming new drone show at Disney Springs.

"Disney Dreams That Soar" is a summertime experience that will be a late-night perk for visitors. Taking place over the Disney Springs lake, "Disney Dreams That Soar," will showcase Disney stories celebrating the joy of flight with state-of-the-art drones choreographed to create designs in the sky and paired with a "soaring" musical score and memorable movie quotes. 

Disney will use 800 drones in the 10-minute show to create Disney characters and scenes in the sky, such as The Rocketeer, Orange Bird, the Deathstar—which is actually bigger than Spaceship Earth—and Baymax, which is even bigger than the Deathstar. When watching "Disney Dreams That Soar," your MagicBand+ will come alive—lighting up, vibrating and interacting with the show.

"Disney Dreams That Soar" will run nightly from May 24 through September 2, 2024. Viewing areas are on Disney Springs West Side—along the waterfront between the Cirque du Soleil Theatre and Aerophile. Viewing areas for Disney Dreams That Soar will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

At least at Epcot they won't criticize anyone coming from the countries or World Celebration you cannot stand here or be here like they do at Disney Spring's. Pour Around any way you like 🤭

The thing is like 9 minutes long… …the thing is like 9 minutes long Don’t make the piracy so “normal”, please?

Disney would be charging more than $120/person for a dessert party. I'd say that $25/person for guaranteed seating is more than fair. Whether you pay for food and drink is on you and that is separate.

I can maybe see $25 per table but $25 a person?!? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Or any nighttime show for that matter at AK. And we need drones that rise up for the “I See The Light” segments in HEA and Luminous!

I’m waiting for the sequel show, Disney Dreams that Roar to debut over the Asia Lake at AK.

A Christmas version perhaps?

I’m sure an extension is possible if it’s still popular by late summer or perhaps a Christmas return.
