News 'Disney Dreams That Soar' Drone show coming to Walt Disney World this summer

[Brian]

I agree, but do they have a space large enough for staging the drones?

Yes, several.

The show is great. It's clear that there wasn't a lot of cast members cause the crowd wasn't super loud, I'm sure it'll be packed on Friday though. Also here's another video on the Disney Springs side so you can hear the soundtrack:

The video is from clear across the lake from where the cast members would have been though.

Great video! Too bad the audio isn't very good. Probably recorded in a location not very near speakers.

It was shot from the Saratoga side where there are currently no speakers.

The show is staged toward the Disney Springs side of the lake and @wdwmagic video was shot from Saratoga Springs side of the lake. In that scenario, you see the entire show from the back vs front. If you look at Disney Springs in the background, you can see that Cirque and the balloon are opposite of how they would be positioned in an image from that side of the lake- Cirque should be to the far right. Any text that shows in the show would appear backward normally from that side of the lagoon since it's staged to the DS side. By flipping the video horizontally, the text shows as usual but everything else in the show looks fine.

There is nothing at all wrong with the approach. However, I noticed something didn't feel accurate, and it took a few viewings before I figured it out. Not a complaint at all, just a random, totally useless, and irrelevant observation.

I kept flip flopping on whether to do it or not, but thought it was the way to go.

There's a number of 'pixels' in the show, at least as recorded this morning, which become out of sync or "stuck", leading to, for example, all white lights with one random drone flying around with a red light. It has the same effect of the Spaceship Earth points of light malfunctioning where even just one out of sync sticks out like a sore thumb.

I think it’s safe to say which individuals this show was made for, I really liked it and I haven’t melted to a show like this in a long time. Simple and good score what we’ve wanted all along. I sure hope it goes beyond the summer. Did anyone else get that Fantasy in the Sky vibe at the end?

 

[TTA94]

I think it’s a good show for DS. It’s not Wow and amazing or something I personally would make an effort to see more than once, but for an evening at DS it will be a nice addition to look up and see while walking around.

I look forward to what’s next with drones at WDW.

I’ve found their current shows to be to modern and flat but the way they choreographed this just bought me right back to the old days.

This looks so good! Can't wait to see it in person. Not sure if it has been mentioned but where are these drones taking off from and landing/being stored? More or less just my curiosity.

We're off to a Wonderful Start if that’s the feeling Guests get!

Somewhere here I believe

I wonder what the max wind speed for this show is before it has to be canceled for the night.

 

[Ragerunner]

Here is a video that was filmed right next to speakers. Easy to hear the music and in 4K.

 

[BaymaxFan]

Sounds like Mark Daniel gives the thanks message at the end of the show, before the cast thanks bit. Always glad to see him involved.

Didn't Mark get fired or let go a few years ago? Glad to have him back.

Yep. Next to the Minnie Van fleet.

Show looks great, except for the Guardians part. Feels really forced.

It feels refreshing to only have one forced scene for a change!

Plenty of cast where present. Easily a couple thousand cast members. From the Starbucks to Jaleo It was three or four deep back from the railing. Drones just do not produce the same ohhhs and ahhhs as fireworks So it's a quieter show for sure.
