Disneyland Fantasmic Dragon Engulfed in Flames

[chadwpalm]

Don't they already close Fantasyland for fireworks? That area is plenty big enough to do a show the size of what's in that video.

Disneyland is a no-fly zone. If I remember correctly this includes drones too and is why they haven't made an appearance inside the parks. The drones are outsourced too so it's not Disney doing it, but another company. So a drone show somewhere might be probable. In the parks though... very unlikely.

I'm assuming that a no fly zone wouldn't prevent Disney itself from doing its own drone show.

Correct. I noted it just to further show the difficulty with them doing a drone show in the parks

I think they would have to get approval from the FAA to do so.

Was it not Disney itself that requested the no fly zone?

And if that's the case, would it not self-evidently be the case that a drone show that the company itself produces is different from anything else that might fly above the property?

I'm not sure, I know they requested to fly drones in magic kingdom a couple of years back and I'm not sure if it ever got approved. I know they did the drone in Disney Springs because the no fly zone doesn't go over Springs. I'm sure how it is in California though.

No Fly zone means get permission first

I’d think so too but with a couple hundred fireworks shows a year someone at Disney is probably on a first name basis with every FAA decision maker within 100 miles of DL.

I agree it would be necessary, I don’t think it would be difficult for them though.
