From the HUB
This holiday season, the idea of “wishing upon a star” will take on an even more magical meaning in the skies of Disney Springs with a new holiday entertainment experience.
In preparation for this experience, rehearsals will take place in the evening and overnight at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex from November 7-10 and at Disney Springs from November 11-15. To avoid disruptions, Cast Members and Operating Participant employees should remain clear of rehearsal areas.
Reactive FAQs:
If Walt Disney World can fly drones over its property, why can’t Guests?
Most of Walt Disney World Resort is private property, and drones cannot be flown here without permission.
Are you planning to add drone shows elsewhere at Walt Disney World Resort or Disneyland Resort?
We look forward to delighting our Walt Disney World Guests with this experience at Disney Springs during the holiday season but we have nothing further to share at this point.
Are there any privacy concerns? Will these drones be capable of tracking guests?
No. The drones used for the holiday entertainment are show drones and do not have any cameras installed or tracking capabilities.
Do these drones have cameras? Can they look into my Disney Resort hotel room?
No. The drones used for the holiday entertainment are show drones and do not have any cameras installed or tracking capabilities.
Is there a danger of a drone falling down on top of Guests?
No. A geofence has been installed to maintain a safe perimeter around the show area (a minimum of 150’ feet away from people, per FAA regulations). If a drone were to accidentally cross the geofence, it is programmed to return to its point of origin.
