Disney Gets in the Drone Game With an Electrifying New Holiday Light Show

Dec 25 2016 - 10:00am

Just in time for peak holiday season, Walt Disney World is lighting up the evening sky — but not with the typical fireworks and lasers that appear in most Disney park shows. The new Starbright Holidays show [1] uses 300 Intel Shooting Star drones to create a magical light show unlike any seen before.

The show, is taking place at Disney Springs each night from Nov. 20 through Jan. 8, and features a highly choreographed production involving 300 of Intel's Shooting Star quadcopters outfitted with multicolored lights that can create more than 4 billion color combinations. Their coordinated movements are set to seasonal music and the drones dance around to create holiday-themed images, like a Christmas tree and a dove, among other images. The effect looks similar to an LED screen in the sky.

The show's debut was met with wild acclaim as Disney Springs visitors turned their attention to the sky. Read on for more images of the show, as well as a video of it.
