Disney shared a first look at “Disney Dreams That Soar,” the new drone show coming to Disney Springs on May 24.
‘Disney Dreams That Soar’ Drone Show
The Disney Live Entertainment team recently performed the first set of creative rehearsals for the show at an off-site property.
Show Director Tony Giordano said, “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. 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.”
Some of the characters and elements featured in the show include Baymax from “Big Hero 6,” the Death Star and Grogu from “Star Wars,” Peter Pan, and Dumbo. The show uses 800 drones to create the giant images. The Death Star is larger than Spaceship Earth and Baymax is almost twice the icon’s height.
“We were given the assignment to create an experience where you want to just hold the hand of the person next to you,” Giordano said. “That’s always echoing in my mind as we work on this show.”
“Disney Dreams That Soar” features well-known and beloved soundtracks, plus an original song to inspire viewers to follow their hearts, take leaps of faith, and reach for the stars.
The best place to experience “Disney Dreams That Soar” will be along the waterway in the Disney Springs West Side. The performance is just under 10 minutes and will be performed twice each evening through September 2.
“I can’t wait to stand next to the guests and hear their reactions,” Giordano said. “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!”
