I mean, this is just spectacular. This is at the fidelity, speed, and density where they're really competing with fireworks now.

Pretty neat.
Assumed this was for an overseas Park, with all the air restrictions here Stateside.

Disneyland had a small drone show for the opening of GE too.

That is true. However the show will also have water screen projections so nothing to say the mirror could not be projected onto them as well. Many of the drone shapes appeared to be in 3D for 360 degree views.

I thought it was WDW that had the X-wing drones.

You could be right, since both Rise attractions opened several weeks apart maybe I'm misremembering where it actually occurred.
Point was that the domestic Disney Parks have had them, so whether WDW or DLR they have used drones at least sparingly. So its not like they couldn't again even if this particular testing isn't for either resort. This idea that the FAA won't let them is an internet urban legend, especially since the no-fly zone was at the request of Disney themselves originally anyways.
Disney’s mystery drones aren’t likely destined for the parks — but why?
As drones dance above California, speculation soars about where they’ll appear next

Okay so maybe those tests aren’t for Paris.

Could they have been just shipped to Paris?

The drones shown in the Paris testing do not seem anywhere near as advanced as the ones shown in Golden Oak.

Yeah, I think these are two separate shows.

Of course the testing could be “test” media. But it feels very Fantasmic adjacent.
