56 TAMPA BAY MAGAZINE | JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2017 This live Disney “statue” is the type of surprise you can expect when visiting the new Disney Springs. Disney Springs has been reimagined from the former Downtown Disney. We were fortunate to see a drone show while at Disney Springs. The show was unbelievable, and made us wonder how Disney could manipulate the heavens and get the stars to form moving images. What we thought were bright stars turned out to be 300 drones that were being flown in detailed formations with coordinated colored lights that were controlled by a computer. This is the first time it was ever done in the United States. At the Magic Kingdom, the light shows on Cinderella’s Castle fascinated us with their moving images. However, it was the Frozen show with its live performances and the “Disney Magic” that turned the castle into ice that really wowed us. The next evening, we visited Hollywood Studios to see its all-new nighttime spectacular “Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM,” a state-of-the-art projection show with special effects, fireworks set to an original musical score and even snow. It truly was a most magical time of the year. 9 EDITOR’S NOTE: For more information about Walt Disney World, call (407) 824-4321. Missy and Al Martino of St. Petersburg were ready for their tour of the lake in an Amphicar at the new Disney Springs.
