Disney’s new aquatic drones will be part of a new nighttime spectacular at Disney Adventure World (currently Walt Disney Studios) at Disneyland Paris, which opens March 29, 2026.
Aquatic Drones
The video shared by Disney Parks on Instagram this afternoon, March 14, 2026, shows a Cast Member sending an aquatic drone out into the water at Adventure Bay. These drones will be used in the Disney Cascade of Lights nighttime spectacular.
These aquatic drones are the first of their kind and will be used alongside aerial drones. At the time of the show’s announcement, Disney indicated there would be 369 drones created by Disney and Dronisos exclusively for Disney Cascade of Lights.
In the video shared by Disney Parks, they also showed some elements of the show, including flying drones forming the Avengers’ logo and a stingray from Moana.
The show will be about 16 minutes long, according to Disneyland Paris.

Disney Cascade of Lights Reserved Area
As you can see below, the earliest date to buy the reserved access is April 7, over a week after the show’s official debut on March 29, 2026 (although it has been confirmed to play at the previews for Annual Passholders). The cost is €24 per person. You can find the option to purchase under the tab in the Disneyland Paris App for guaranteed access to shows. Currently, it is unknown where the reserved area will actually be located.
One of the arms on the rig for the show possibly teases the next expansion at Disney Adventure World after The Lion King.
This comes in line with the preparations for the grand (re)opening of Disney Adventure World and the opening of World of Frozen. World of Frozen will include an Anna and Elsa meet and greet inside Arendelle Castle, the Frozen Ever After attraction, a boat show, shopping, dining, and an impressive, self-walking, “living” animatronic Olaf.
