Walt Disney World Resort is introducing a new innovative entertainment experience this summer with “Disney Dreams that Soar Presented by AT&T,” a nighttime drone show coming to Disney Springs. Running from May 24 through September 2, the limited-time offering will immerse guests in a choreographed display of 800 state-of-the-art drones lighting up the skies.
The roughly 9-minute shows will take place twice nightly above the Disney Springs dining, shopping and entertainment complex. Using cutting-edge drone technology, the performances will recreate larger-than-life images of classic Disney characters and scenes from beloved films like “Peter Pan,” “Dumbo,” “Wall-E,” “Big Hero 6,” and “Star Wars.”
In addition to the iconic visuals, the drone spectacle will incorporate musical scores from Disney’s most popular movies, as well as an exclusive new song composed specifically for the show. Disney recently conducted a test session in France that provided a glimpse of the intricate choreography and formations guests can expect.
According to Disney, “Disney Dreams that Soar Presented by AT&T” is the first of several new limited-time entertainment offerings making their debut at Walt Disney World Resort this summer. The innovative show aims to build on the vibrant atmosphere of Disney Springs.

Billed as a “one-of-a-kind retail, dining and entertainment district,” Walt Disney World Resort‘s Disney Springs transports visitors to early 20th-century Florida waterfront towns. The sprawling complex features four distinct outdoor neighbourhoods filled with over 150 shops, restaurants, and recreational offerings.
From specialty boutiques to award-winning eateries by celebrity chefs, Disney Springs provides ample options for shopping, dining and merriment. Other highlights include a Cirque du Soleil theatre, twice-weekly classic car cruise nights, complimentary tours and live music performances.
The new drone spectacular adds to this lively ambiance, providing an entertaining capper to an evening out. Precise showtimes will vary nightly based on dusk, with performances currently scheduled for shortly after dark. Guests are advised to check the Disney Springs website or resort guide for the latest schedule during their visit.
With its innovative technology, beloved Disney iconography, and original music, “Disney Dreams that Soar Presented by AT&T” aims to create an immersive, unforgettable experience under the night sky. The limited-run shows run through early September, giving summer visitors a novel reason to plan their Disney Springs outings around the must-see spectacle.
