Do you think Disney should do more drone shows? If so, where?

[@YiGu-my1kt]

shanghai disney resort

[@stevenj7437]

@WDWNT have Luke vs Vader in a saber fight. That would be hot. Also have the walk towards the other side would be hot too

[@MG-im5hm]

Definitely at AK. They have the space, make it low flying/off of boats, add a story/plot and make it 5-10 minutes longer.

[@christimorris387]

If they start doing them in the quality that is drone shows out of this country, then YES. Once you see those, this one is just sad

[@laellewand9425]

This should be done at Animal Kingdom

[@Tswifter4ever]

They missed the perfect opportunity to have mufasa up in the sky saying Remember who you are

[@ernestoglez5677]

Good idea 💡

[@marksheridan5155]

This is very nice of Disney to give something back to the guests. Disney Springs is the perfect place for this. Thank you Disney and thank you WDW NEWS for sharing.

[@dhfsnow]

Love the fluid movement of the drones as opposed to static images. Best drone show I have seen since the concept was introduced a few years back. Great job with the lighting along the shore line as well!

Weird to see all the negative comments. We're over here watching and saying that is so cool.

[@nickschultz8813]

This show looks so cool can’t believe they can pull this one off it’s there first show they did do for Disney Springs in years

[@HunterTheHero]

That Death Star was super impressive. I’m also shocked that it is twice the size of Spaceship Earth.

[@gissneric]

It's mind boggling that Disney would do a FREE show 😂. I thought this will be a cheap filler show but its actually great!

[@alexalzona6477]

Small coins compared to drawing people in to spend more money.

[@cara2283]

Free? Attendance in DS has skyrocketed. Im curious, how would charge for an air show on an open air shopping complex?

[@xrayguy1981]

It’s because they know you’re going to spend a ton shopping and dining in Disney Springs. You’re paying for it. You just don’t realize it.

[@pete_stumme]

Looks outstanding!!! Drone shows are just mind-blowing pieces of technology!!! Thank you for this amazing content

So much of my childhood in this show that I thought Disney has forgotten, hope to see this show someday in person

[@alexisbk9576]

Awesome that you can see the show from certain Saratoga Springs rooms

[@ryry0913]

I have to say I didn't know what to expect with this but it was so good! I really enjoyed they had a storyline and even original music thrown in there. I was impressed by the sheer volume of drones used too it makes for a really great show and I like that it's at Disney Springs so it brings free entertainment to people.

[@93BigShane]

Very nice, very very nice. Like how they even threw in Moon Girl, Launchpad, Morph from Treasure Planet, and Rocketeer.

[@bearbait49]

This is amazing

[@TheRealConcertKing]

It was honestly surreal to see The Rocketeer in a Disney show in 2024, even if it was only for a couple seconds. I hope they finally do more with that property.

[@maimoneattia]

Yes! And Side by side with the Genie. So 2 of my favorite Disney films referenced at once.

[@mainsd]

Looks awesome 🤩

[@davidmagana4102]

I enjoyed this show so much! I hope guests enjoy it so they invest in more of this!

[@TheNamekianClown]

Wow, a shocking amount of deep cuts in the finale or whatever haha. Honestly raises the show from pretty cool to actually really cool for me.

[@DS-pe8tt]

So many Disney favorites and moviesrepresented!

[@Egg_663]

That one stuck red drone light. It happens at 4:38 on Wall-E’s tread and continues to the end of the show. Not a bad error rate for 800 drones. But if there’s a few stuck lights it’ll be pretty distracting. Overall, I like the show. Probably much better in person.

[@williamfitzhugh8332]

Hopefully things like that can be fixed with programming updates or just replacing the drones themselves. Not sure how easy that is though.

[@GuyGenie73]

It was the left shark drone

[@Egg_663]

@@GuyGenie73No it doesn’t. I turns red at 4:38. I didn’t mention the cyan sticking earlier then returning to normal. The red is when it goes into an error state. To get stupidly specific, it sticks as the cyan color as Dante is fading away at 4:01 then goes to the correct color at 4:09 for Wall-E. Than at 4:39 it goes to red.

[@heidigale9287]

This is really cool!

[@alinelachance9800]

We are going to be there on July 13. Its our arrival day. We had planned a dinner and an evening at Disney Spring long before the show was annonced. It adds a big plus to our evening. So excited!! 🤪🤪. Thank you for the video!

[@ChristinaGonzalez87]

This would be so lovely at EPCOT 😍

[@mizuki_1516]

Love it ❤️ Thank you making this

[@briandonegan8480]

The only thing that would have made it better is if the drones could have animated the explosion of the Death Star. That's the only thing that fell flat. Why ha evthe Death Star battle sequence if it only just disappears

[@laurad2442]

That's exactly what I thought as well and it would have been easy to do!

[@vinniedegasperis5862]

Totally agree That part did fall a little flat

[@jakemason4801]

This show needs to be permanent, not summer only. So cool

[@MattStandley589]

This was awesome! My next trip is in October so hopefully they will have a fall show in place, I would love to see this in person

[@BrianChu888]

I think the transition is pretty fast (compare to other drone show): certain % of the drones is prep for the next scene. This is an open space so not too fair to compare it to the Paris show (which has the castle as the main subject and drone light to enhance the short stories). It is an open space show so I would increase # of drone, it looks really sparse.

[@mattiamassaroni1343]

Great show, just like Drone shows at Disneyland Paris 😮❤

[@lisajl6242]

The one in Paris made me cry

[@cherylwieser307]

[@MissMyMusicAddiction]

I've gotten to see it, a couple of times, once during the Jaleo Dreams that Soar event (their patio is the perfect place to watch, and the tasting menu was delish!) I think this might be better than Luminous, at EPCOT. oh, and HOLY CRAP, the crowds at the Springs, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to see this...

[@suecoppola1081]

Pls let me know what the best or the worst viewing area is

[@xTomWolfx]

Disney is at its best when it focuses on the Magic instead of the Message. I hope they do more of this, and I hope this is the first step in getting back on track. Awesome job.

[@kevb7451]

It’s tough to agree when they did shows like illuminations which had an impactful message. I’d like to think they could be great at both and it really just depends on where the show takes place.

[@kellybennett2753]

Amen to that comment

[@flyingpooh]

You should focus on the magic and not worry about messages that you disagree with. Disney is allowed to tell stories and messages THEY want. If you disagree, then move on to some other close-minded corporation.

[@ZebraLens]

Message is very important. Telling that little girl or boy that if they dream and put in the work behind that dream, they can do anything. Or telling people that there are other cultures besides what you see in front of you everyday, or to be understanding of others, are very important messages. Anybody can showcase the latest tech, but the story behind it, is what's important. You might as well say you don't want to hear a message in a song but rather just the instrumental. Same inference that you just stated. So yes, the message is very important!

[@scot4264]

[@ducktails1695]

People would riot if Disney took away HEA and they aren't going to do 2 shows, especially if they also have a nighttime parade coming. So I seriously doubt this would come to MK. DHS already has Fantasmic and that's not going away. EPCOT has a new nighttime show and it's not going to drop that anytime soon even though I think it's not their best effort by any means. Their best bet is AK...but then again AK doesn't stay open late enough for a nighttime show anymore.

[@philipgoodfellow929]

[@LilRickyXO]

Seems like Disney Springs is just the testing ground for the tech at the WDW resort. They just need figure out how to make it work with the parks. Yes, Disneyland Paris has it figured out but this is WDW. People wait a lifetime to come to the Magic Kingdom. Let them cook and play around with it for a bit at Disney Springs. If they bring it to the resort parks and its still lackluster then we will have a problem. I consider this an early alpha version for whats to come down the road.

[@sponge8436]

Could have also been for faa regulations as certain things above a certain height require a red light on top or around it, similar to the red light on skyscrapers or the beacon lights on planes that blink.

[@Calix772]

The other side of the lake isn't Disney springs, it's Disney's Saratoga springs Resort. So they aren't going to dim the lights for all the rooms , walkways just for the show. At the parks they will probably do more for light pollution.

Too bad they don't actually tell a story. It's just a series of snippets from IP. The content is very low effort. Technically it's amazing and a great platform for a show.

Since when are nighttime shows self contained stories? Literally every nighttime show has been a series of snippets from their library. It's weird hearing people complain about IPs when that's what they entire park is.

[@maimoneattia]

That would've been cool to see a story unfold. But most of their night shows, even the OG Mainstreet Electric Parade, consist of beautiful visuals that reference different Disney movies. Fantasmic is the only night show I've seen that tells a story. Are there others that do?

[@thehobbsguy]

This is more of a proof of concept show than anything else. The future possibilities of this technology are endless.

Guardians Inferno. It was a song they made with David Hasselhoff for Vol. 2 to promote the film. The music video is up on KZbin and is pretty funny, as it has the entire cast appearing in it in some capacity, but it's made to look like those 1970s videos that were precursors to music videos.
