Disney gets FAA approval to fly drones over theme parks

Does this exemption keep the "100 feet away from guest areas" restriction in place? Not sure how that would work if the aircraft are flying from a fireworks area to the castle. At Magic Kingdom that would have them passing right over (most likely) Fantasyland.

Looks like the first deployment will be at Disney Springs, and soon:

Wow, holy crap. That's far cooler than I would have imagined.

How is that going to be choreographed? How many drone pilots will need to be brought in for that?

Presumably 1 with a computer. Humans can't do all of that.

Funny. My son was just asking me if there is such a thing as the nano-drones from Star Trek Beyond. Here it is, courtesy Walt Disney World.

Computer controlled light-up drones, dancing in the night sky? What a great idea!

Last night while driving down 192 I could see about 100 or so "UFO" type objects flying over Wide World of Sports. Very cool to see that many all hovering around.

I wonder how many calls 911 will receive for UFO sightings.

Fine, as long as they don't fly over my airspace or take pictures of Mean Streak, or film Noggin taking a shower. Oops, sorry - I thought this was PointBuzz.
