The FAA has given Disney theme parks in California and Florida permission to fly drones above their venues for nightly fireworks shows. In its October application, Disney said it planned to use a fleet of 50 drones that would fly from a pyrotechnic area to the castle, lighting up and carrying objects.
Read more from The Orange County Register and Orlando Sentinel.
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.

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

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.
But then again, what do I know?
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.
