"Starbright Holidays" Drone show coming to Disney Springs

[danlb_2000]

I'm not sure if anyone has seen this from Attractions Magazine yet...

I had a hard time making out what a lot of the shapes were, but I have to say this technology has some real potential.

Probably a good idea to start this at Disney springs. Hehe.

DPB just did a post on this. No mention of a start date or that tonight was just a sample.

Looks like it's intended to be view from the west side.

Couldn't make out any of the shapes from where I was. i guess aside from the tree everything else is two dimensional

Did they add anything new to the area for this show? New speakers? Lighting?

Yes - Saratoga has lights part of the show.

The only two things I could make out were a tree and a bird.

These are not the drones you're looking for.

The problem with a show like this is there's no surprise. It's almost like a marching band in the air. You see all the parts, you see them moving, so there's no build, no finale, etc.

I mean, it's beautiful, sure, but hopefully this will never replace the big bombastic fireworks shows WDW is known for.

I'm sure it is to enhance the experience.

I wonder where they land all the drones at. The golf course?

I would argue there is quite a surprise for the switch on. They are silent, and it is surprising to suddenly see 300 drones in front of you int he night sky.

There is a drone compound and control center on the shore, using the edge of the parking lot behind Cirque.
