Disney Springs will debut "Disney Dreams That Soar presented by AT&T," a nightly choreographed drone show starting May 24. This new attraction will affect the operating hours of several popular Disney Springs offerings.


Showtimes for the 9-minute show are 9 pm and 10:45 pm. Viewing areas are located on Disney Springs West Side, along the waterfront between the Cirque du Soleil Theatre and Aerophile.

Disney Springs Boat Transportation to Disney Resort Hotels

The Sassagoula River Cruise will end earlier each night to make way for the show. The final boats from Port Orleans—French Quarter and Riverside, Old Key West, and Saratoga Springs to Disney Springs will depart at 7:30 pm, and the last return boat from Disney Springs to these resorts will leave at 8 pm. Guests can still use the bus transportation to all Resort hotels after the boat service stops.

cute ❤️
Show is very good. Worth a trip to Disney Springs.

It's impressive to see how much more fluid is the drone movement since the last show in ... 2015?

My one take-away was that more drones would be even better.

Is there an expectation that this is just a more defined proof of concept for drones in the domestic parks, either to plus up existing entertainment or to make new shows? I know that was the idea 9 years ago, but since it has seen success in international parks, I would hope this would actually lead to something new.
I cant wait to see this in person

Yes. If this does well (and I expect it will) we can expect more.

It's perfect for AK. Can't have fireworks because of the animals. They haven't had a real show since Rivers of Light and they have seating around the Discovery River going currently unused. (I'm not counting the kite show).

I really would love to see a new show at DAK sooner rather than later - drones in the sky, floats with fountains and fire in the water - but I wonder if there would be a hesitance to extend hours to nighttime especially if/when Dinoland and ITTBAB go out of commission.
Sounds like Mark Daniel gives the thanks message at the end of the show, before the cast thanks bit. Always glad to see him involved.

Great video! Too bad the audio isn't very good. Probably recorded in a location not very near speakers.
To be able to finally see Wall-E and Eve was fantastic. So overdue.
This show is great!
I watched the video three times before I realized that it had been flipped horizontally so that the view from Saratoga showed everything properly, not reversed as it would actually be.
