Will the Disney Springs Drone Show Ever Return to Disney World?

Over the summer, Disney Springs was home to a limited-time nighttime show.

Disney Dreams that Soar lit up the night sky around Disney Springs starting in May of 2024 and the show recently ended its run last month in September. This was not the first time that Disney Springs hosted a drone show as in 2016, the show, Starbright Holidays, ran for a limited time with 300 drones. The show was holiday-themed, but after that show ended its run, Disney Springs did not have a drone show until eight years later. Could it be another eight years before a drone show comes to Disney Springs?

For our sake, we hope that it does not take another eight years for Disney Springs to get a nighttime drone show. There is an obvious demand for one as Disney Dreams that Soar was super popular.

What was Disney Dreams that Soar?

As mentioned Disney Dreams that Soar was a drone show that ran this summer at Disney Springs. The show was sponsored by AT&T and had 800 drones. Which is 500 more than the show eight years prior. 

This show was truly spectacular and featured stories from popular Disney movies like ‘Up’, ‘Star Wars’, ‘Peter Pan’, and ‘Guardians of the Galaxy.’ The end of the show even had a cameo from popular Disney park characters like Figment and Orange Bird. 

The show was about 10 minutes long and ran twice a night. Once at 9 PM and again at 10:45 PM. The show opened on May 24th, 2024, and ran until September 2nd, 2024.

As mentioned this show was super popular and crowds would flock to Disney Springs each night. On weekends it could be challenging to find a parking spot and oftentimes we would find ourselves on floor five of the Orange or Lime Garages. 

Will Disney Dreams that Soar Return?

The show was meant to run for a limited time to drive people to want to visit Disney Springs because the majority of people would then shop or grab a bite to eat both before and after the show. 

Disney has been using drone technology more and more as some Disney parks overseas have their own drone shows or will soon have their own shows.

We are not sure where the 800 drones that were part of Disney Dreams that Soar are currently, but we have our fingers crossed that they are still near Disney World and are being programmed for another show. 

The holiday season is just around the corner and this could be the perfect opportunity for Disney to do a similar drone show that they did for the holiday season in 2016. 

Disney could do this for a lot of seasons and drive attendance to Disney Springs as people will want to return to see the new shows. We can’t lie, we returned multiple times to see Disney Dreams that Soar because it was just that good. Who wouldn’t want to see a 354-foot Dumbo and a 328-foot Big Ben in the sky?

As of right now, Disney has not announced the return of Disney Dreams that Soar or a different drone show at Disney Springs, but we are hopeful that the show could return.

Please, Disney, hear our call, we want another drone show! Until our call is answered, we will keep an eye out for any news about the possible return of a drone show at Disney Springs. As always, keep following along with AllEars so you never miss out on the latest Disney news!
