A variety of wildlife kites will also be intermixed with the more well-known Disney characters.

The kites will fly into the show via watercraft and some are described as being as large as 30 feet in length. Larger three-dimensional kites like Zazu will be inflated as they move through the air.

An included video of the actual kites being tested was also included.
