Beginning May 24, the skies above Disney Springs will come alive with “Disney Dreams That Soar, presented by AT&T”! The all-new drone show will captivate fans of Disney characters.
Let’s take a look at the experience, sure to be loved by all ages.
The Disney Live Entertainment team behind this experience had the recent opportunity to see their hard work come to life in the sky during the first set of creative rehearsals for the show. Here are some glimpses from an off-site property along with some new details about the experience which will soon be the perfect ending to a great day at Disney Springs.
“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,” said Show Director, Tony Giordano. “We put a lot of thought in making sure that no matter how old you are, or how much of a fan you are, you’re going to see a character that you love.”
Working together to light up the night sky, 800 drones are used to create a massive canvas. One of the characters you will see is a Baymax, who appears nearly twice the size of Spaceship Earth. He will appear to inflate, transform, and disappear right before your very eyes.
“We were given the assignment to create an experience where you want to just hold the hand of the person next to you,” said Tony. “That’s always echoing in my mind as we work on this show.”
“Disney Dreams That Soar” will feature well-known and beloved soundtracks, in addition to an original song that will inspire you to follow your heart, take a leap of faith, and reach for the stars.
Insider tip: The best place to experience the drones “dancing” to this new soundtrack will be along the waterway in the Disney Springs West Side. Clocking in at just under 10 minutes, the show is a perfect kiss-goodnight to your day of shopping, playing, and dining at Disney Springs, with 2 shows each evening this summer. Also, while you’re out there, keep an eye out for Tony!
“I can’t wait to stand next to the guests and hear their reactions. 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!”
