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

I wonder if the show is visible from the International gateway bridge at Epcot while watching Luminous while both shows are on the same timetable.

The show is best viewed from the west side and from the opposite side of Saratoga all other angles are pretty lousy, but it’s still decent show

I doubt it. I was watching RTV1and the Drones didn't look very high.

Some sort of Medical Emergency happening also at DS......

I'll bet the late show isn't as full.

Same with every Show that runs more than once.....
How much time does DS really need between Shows? Could This run like at 9, 10 & 11?

Great spot for audio!

I think it's safe to say which resort won the night in terms of nighttime entertainment.

*SIGH* Yet again no love for the Muppets which could have done an Amazing Gonzo cannon or something..But, otherwise a good show and something that could potentially work in AK for a nighttime show..

Also, if I'm not mistaken but, I think Mark Daniel's is the male narrator..

This looks quite amazing! Unfortunately, it's scheduled to do its final show on September 2nd and we are arriving on September 10th. Think there's any chance of it being extended?

Disney has shared some facts about Disney Dreams That Soar:

• “Disney Dreams That Soar” is a nighttime experience that combines LED, choreography and animation for an unforgettable show.
• “Disney Dreams That Soar” features over 30 classic Disney characters, all sharing the dream of flight.
• The show features a remarkable 800 drones contributing to its visual display and each drone is around 1 foot tall and wide.

I saw the drones while watching Luminous near Morocco, so I’d say you probably can see it. Granted, you can’t see the very bottom of the figures.

No 'You've Got a Friend in Me.' Disappointing.

I feel like that song is really underrepresented at WDW.

Great bit of trolling on Disney's part when the lyrics say "The moment we've been waiting for" and then Figment appears. Like, we get it! We're still waiting!

Yeah, I'm a little confused as to why it's only scheduled to run for the summer. Why not make it a full-time offering?

Well after seeing the mass of humanity..... The main drag at Disney Springs was a sardine can of humans for a solid 30 minutes after the 9pm show AND so I loitered. Got to my car at 9:45ish and did not get out of the Orange Garage until 10:30. Phew!

I am sure they will get better at this and more then that this IS a holiday weekend.

But all that said I guess the temporary nature of this show is, due to this being more of a proof of concept then anything else.

I heard crowd control last night was terrible. I spoke with multiple guests today that said it was so crowded that they felt unsafe. I wonder how they can improve upon this.

 

[UNCgolf]

I doubt it will be even close to that crowded every night -- people tend to flock to see something that's brand new.

The only reason it might stay somewhat crowded is because it's only supposed to run for a few months.

 

[TTA94]

It being crowded should come as no surprise to anyone. Everyone not only flocks to new things but especially Free things.
