Hey Disney Vacationers! Get ready for the skies above Disney Springs to light up with magic and wonder! Walt Disney World has given us a sneak peek into their upcoming Dreams That Soar drone show, and it’s shaping up to be an experience you won’t want to miss. Starting May 24, Disney Dreams That Soar presented by AT&T will bring a whole new level of enchantment to your evenings at Disney Springs. Here’s everything you need know.
Behind the Scenes: The Creative Process
The talented Disney Live Entertainment team has been hard at work, and they recently had the opportunity to witness their creation take flight during the first set of creative rehearsals. Show Director Tony Giordano shared some insights, emphasizing the universal appeal of the show: “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.”
The show features an impressive array of 800 drones, choreographed to create stunning visuals in the night sky. Imagine seeing a giant Baymax, almost twice the height of Spaceship Earth, inflate, transform, and disappear before your eyes. It’s a spectacle designed to leave you in awe.
The Magic of Music
Music is a crucial element of Disney Dreams That Soar. The show will feature beloved Disney soundtracks and an original song that encourages you to follow your heart and reach for the stars. The combination of music and visuals aims to create an emotional connection, making you want to hold the hand of the person next to you and share the magical experience.
Tony Giordano explains, “We were given the assignment to create an experience where you want to just hold the hand of the person next to you. That’s always echoing in my mind as we work on this show.”
Best Viewing Spots and Showtimes
For the best experience, head to the waterway in the Disney Springs West Side. With two shows each evening, one at 9:00 PM and another at 10:45 PM, you have multiple opportunities to catch this magical event. Each show lasts just under 10 minutes, making it the perfect way to end a day of shopping, playing, and dining at Disney Springs.
And here’s a little insider tip: Keep an eye out for Tony Giordano himself! He loves to mingle with the guests and listen to their reactions. “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!”
