There is nothing quite like enjoying nighttime shows at Disney Parks and Resorts. As the sun sets, the sky is illuminated with fireworks, waterworks, and this summer even drones to the delight of guests.

Disney Springs will come alive with our new “Disney Dreams That Soar” drone show. You can check out a special preview of this show HERE.

This show will feature 800 drones and bring our favorite characters to life with special music and true Disney magic. You will be amazed as Baymax, almost twice the height of Spaceship Earth, inflates, changes shape, and then disappears right in front of you.
