Fence Installed at Saratoga Springs Resort for Disney Springs Drone Show Viewing

It looks like Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa is getting a new fence along Lake Buena Vista to accommodate viewing of the new Disney Springs drone show.

Saratoga Springs Fencing

Lake with a clear blue sky, trees, and a building on the far shore, reflecting on the water surface.

We spotted posts for the new fence from across the lake. The posts are only on the west side of the resort. The drone show, “Disney Dreams That Soar,” will be performed on the west side of Lake Buena Vista.

View of a tranquil lake reflecting blue skies,  with Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort across the water surrounded by lush greenery.

The posts are in a row a few feet from the water.

Disney may not plan to have official viewing space in this area but is preparing for the case that Saratoga Springs guests will venture into the grass to view the show.

Crews have also been preparing viewing areas on the Disney Springs side of the lake. They set up speakers for the show in nearby fields and along sidewalks.

A picturesque view of a calm blue lake with a grassy park and cars parked under scattered trees, under a clear sky.

“Disney Dreams That Soar” will run for a limited time from May 24 through September 2.

“You can fly” takes on a whole new meaning as we showcase Disney stories celebrating the joy of flight with state-of-the-art drones choreographed to create designs in the sky and paired with a “soaring” musical score (see what I did there?) and memorable movie quotes.

Disney Parks Blog

In late 2016, Disney Springs featured the limited-time “Starbright Holidays” drone show. In 2023, Disney Live Entertainment Parades and Spectaculars Executive Steve Davison stated that “drones are the next thing.” A new Marvel drone show recently debuted at Hong Kong Disneyland. Tokyo DisneySea recently tested a Fantasy Springs drone show. Disneyland Paris has had several drone shows, including the ongoing “Disney Electrical Sky Parade” inspired by the Main Street Electrical Parade.

REVIEW: Peanut Butter Cold Brew Cookie Returns for May 2024 at Gideon’s Bakehouse

A new month means new (or returning) treats at Gideon’s Bakehouse, and the Peanut Butter Cold Brew Cookie has made its return for May 2024 at Disney Springs.

May 2024 Cookie of the Month at Gideon’s Bakehouse

A person holds up a Gideon's Bakehouse postcard featuring a stylized character in front of the bakery's exterior on a sunny day.

Each month, alongside the new or returning cookie of the month, Gideon’s also introduces a new souvenir menu. This month’s menu features a black and white illustration of bookseller Jonathan Lindwurm.

His backstory is printed on the back of the menu, which reads,

Antique photos can seem dark and mysterious, and so too can their subjects. In this case, both are true. Meet the enigmatic Jonathan Lindwurm — a brilliant and reclusive bookseller. Specializing in publications dealing with magic and alchemy, rumors quickly grew about his origins, with many claiming him to be from a different dimension altogether. Perhaps tired of the constant gossip, it’s said that Mr. Lindwurm entered his store one morning and was never seen again.

Peanut Butter Cold Brew Cookie – $6

If you love all things peanut butter, then this limited-edition cookie is the one for you! The peanut butter flavor is prominent and takes over your taste buds. There are very small hints of chocolate in each bite, bringing sweetness to pair with the salt of the peanut butter.
