Posted: Wednesday May 22, 2024 7:00am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Eight hundred drones took the skies over Disney Springs early this morning for the first-ever performance of Walt Disney World's new drone show "Disney Dreams that Soar."


This morning's show was an early preview opportunity for Walt Disney World Cast Members ahead of the official debut on Friday, May 24, 2024.


Running from May 24 to September 2, "Disney Dreams that Soar" brings the Disney Springs Lake to life with larger-than-life images of classic Disney characters drones choreographed with iconic quotes from fan-favorite films such as Disney's "Peter Pan," "Dumbo," "Wall-E," "Big Hero 6," "Star Wars" and more. The show also features scores from favorite Disney soundtracks and an original song composed exclusively for this show.



Showtimes for the 9-minute show are 9 pm and 10:45 pm, with viewing areas located 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

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!

A Christmas version perhaps?

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

Before the Official Announcement, we thought Drones were ready for a Park. Whether This Show went to DS for Safety or to help DS IDK, but it's paying off! I really wish Dreams That Soar could stay at DS! Does Everything really need a Park Ticket???????

Something I found very interesting. In the imagineering video about music a couple of weeks ago, during the part about this show, the writer of the song says "I just imagine my daughter hearing the song in the park". Was this show originally meant for one of the parks and was moved to Springs, or what it just him misspeaking? If it was originally meant for a park, I wonder which one.

1 hour before for good spots, 30 min before for a spot for the first show. 30 min wait for good spots, 15 min for a spot for the second show. This show gets my stamp of approval, I hope something similar to this is added to AK.
