A few years ago, Disneyland revamped Sunset Boulevard’s Fantasmic! attraction, which originally opened in October 1998. Just two years ago, Fantasmic! reopened at Disney’s Hollywood Studios with never-before-seen special effects. A fourth and (at the time of writing) final version of Fantasmic! premiered in May 2024 after one of the animatronics caught on fire in 2023. Both the Fantasmic! Fireworks Show and Disney Dreams That Soar are swiftlybecoming Disneyland’s most popularoutdoor activities.
Disney Dreams That Soar was first announced in March 2024, alongside other upcoming attractions in Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, the grand opening of CommuniCore Hall & Plaza at Epcot, and the 30th anniversary ofThe Lion Kingat Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The inspiration behind Dreams That Soar came from the surge in popularity of drone shows at Disneyland Paris, particularly the Disney Electric Sky Parade, which can be viewed above Sleeping Beauty’s Castle and features over 500 drones.
