PHOTOS, VIDEO: First Look at ‘Dreams That Soar’ Disney Springs Drone Show

Disney shared a first look at “Disney Dreams That Soar,” the new drone show coming to Disney Springs on May 24.

Two people watch a nighttime light display with red and blue lights forming the shape of a robot in the sky.

The Disney Live Entertainment team behind this limited-time nighttime experience recently got the chance to see all their hard work take to the skies during the first set of creative rehearsals for the show. Today we’re sharing those first glimpses from an off-site property, as well as some exciting new details, about the larger-than-life experience soon to be the perfect complement to an evening at Disney Springs.

A spherical pattern of lights in the night sky, resembling the Death Star from Star Wars.

“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.” said Show Director, Tony Giordano. “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.”

An arrangement of colored lights depicts a flying figure with outstretched arms reaching towards a star against a black background.

And a lot of characters means a lot of drones. 800 drones to be exact – all working together to create a massive canvas in the night sky. Trust me, nothing can prepare you for the awe of seeing a Baymax nearly twice the height of Spaceship Earth inflate, transform, and disappear right in front of your eyes.

A dark space is illuminated by numerous small blue lights arranged in patterns that create a sense of depth and dimension.

“We were given the assignment to create an experience where you want to just hold the hand of the person next to you,” said Tony. “That’s always echoing in my mind as we work on this show.”

A night sky display featuring a colorful light formation of a flying elephant with a red balloon, surrounded by clouds.

Music plays a big role in that connection. “Disney Dreams That Soar” features well-known and beloved soundtracks in addition to an original song that will inspire you to follow your heart, take a leap of faith, and reach for the stars.

A night sky display shows two robots made of numerous colorful lights; one has a triangular body with an arm extended, and the other has a cylindrical body with glowing blue eyes.

Insider tip: The best place to experience the drones “dancing” to this new soundtrack will be along the waterway in the Disney Springs West Side. Clocking in at just under 10 minutes, the show is a perfect kiss-goodnight to your day of shopping, playing, and dining at Disney Springs, with 2 shows each evening this summer. Also, while you’re out there, keep an eye out for Tony!   

Two people smiling and posing in front of a field illuminated by numerous red lights at night. One holds a flashlight with a similar red light.

“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!”

Check out the video below, and catch “Disney Dreams That Soar presented by AT&T” nightly May 24-Sept. 2 at Disney Springs.

4 Things You Should NEVER Order at Main Street Confectionery in Magic Kingdom, from a Former Cast Member

I used to be a Disney World Cast Member, and I became an EXPERT when it comes to sweet treats.

We’re here to talk about Cast Member roles!

Yes, that’s right. If you’re new around here, my name is Kayleigh, and I used to work at the Haunted Mansion at Disney World. I always tell people that writing for the iconic Disney Food Blog is the best job I’ve ever had, but let’s be honest. It’s a tie between this job and my time at the Mansion. I was a Disney College Program participant in the fall of 2022, so I spend a LOT of my time missing Disney World and haunting the halls of the Spooky Haus. That being said, I LOVE to yap about my Cast Member days. Who’s ready to yap about sweet treats?

I know what you’re thinking. What does a Haunted Mansion Maid know about sweet treats? Well, before a lot of my shifts, I visited Magic Kingdom and had to frequent the iconic Main Street Confectionery. This is Magic Kingdom’s hub for all things sweet and delicious. You can find things ranging from Skittles and M&Ms to popcorn mixes and gourmet Rice Krispie treats.

Lollipop at Main Street Confectionery

Today, we’re here to chat about treats you should NEVER get while visiting the Confectionery. While I’d never truly pass up on a sweet treat, there are better options as opposed to the ones you might try to snag while you’re in a hurry and just passing through the shop. You ready?

M&Ms

I would personally never get ANY of the sweet treats that are pre-packaged and sitting on shelves in the Confectionery! While some treats are always going to come pre-packaged, like Cotton Candy, gummy candy, and the Mars-Wrigley candy options that you can buy at the shop, there are other options that you can get both pre-packaged and from the Cast Members.

There are also so many things in the case that might catch your eye!

 

For example, when you walk into the Confectionery, you’ll see all sorts of wrapped crisped rice treats, candy apples, chocolate-covered marshmallows, and even popcorn mixes. However, I’d recommend skipping those and heading over to the counter to order a fresher one from a Cast Member!

YUM

You’ll visit a Cast Member at the counter in the center of the shop, tell them what you want based on the treats you’ll see in the casing, and then they’ll give you a slip to give the Cast Member at the checkout counter. You’ll then pay and be handed a fresh treat of your choosing! We totally rave about the peanut butter cookie pie that you can grab here.

Peanut Butter Cookie Pie

Instead of a prepackaged popcorn mix, we recommend heading to the back of the shop to the Kernel Kitchen where you can opt for a seasonal mix that’s made fresh in front of you — or customize your own! There are so many combinations that you can create and it’s one of our favorite things to do in Magic Kingdom.

Mmmmmm

Of course, the pre-packaged treats don’t taste bad at all. However, if you have the chance, wait it out and snag something that’s just a little bit more fresh. It sometimes makes all the difference!

We’ll be sure to keep you up to date with more Disney news, so make sure to follow along so that you’re always in the loop and never miss a thing.

NEWS: Tornado Watch Issued for Disney World Area

You can plan and plan the perfect Disney World vacation — but Mother Nature doesn’t usually care about your plans.

Rainy Day at Animal Kingdom

Nothing can ruin your Disney World vacation faster than a torrential downpour and severe weather. That’s exactly the case for Disney World today. In fact, the entire Central Florida area is currently under a tornado watch — including the Disney World area.

A tornado watch has been issued for all of Central Florida — including the counties where Disney World is located. WKMG reports the watch is currently in effect until 11AM ET today. You can continue to monitor the area by clicking here.

Rainy day in Magic Kingdom

Eric Burris, meteorologist with WESH news shared a look at a line of storms with intense lightning in the area. Typically, tornado watches aren’t of much concern — unless it escalates to a tornado warning. Make sure you’re checking the weather regularly so that you know if that happens.

Burris reported that nothing too severe had impacted the area for now, but scattered thunderstorms are still expected to impact much of the area, including Disney World. Potential hail and heavy winds are also expected.

If you’re heading to Disney World today, you might want to keep an eye on the radar and check your favorite weather app to get the most up-to-date information. You should also make sure you listen to any Cast Members during severe storms as they’re trained to keep you safe!

It’s unlikely that Disney will close the parks for today’s weather, but there will be multiple ride closures if lightning, heavy rain, and strong winds affect the area. 

Rain at Animal Kingdom

According to News 6the Orlando area will encounter scattered storms and high temperatures in the next few days thanks to a stationary front, so we could see showers and storms continue through the week.

Rain is possible every day through Sunday, May 19th, with rainfall possibility being as high as 60% on Wednesday. Monday and Tuesday each have a 50% rainfall chance and Friday through Sunday each have a 40% chance. Thursday has the lowest rain chance with 30%.
