Drones at Disneyland Paris: the ultimate guide to visiting the best theme park for drone shows
- Disneyland Paris offers a magical European twist on the Disney experience, and it includes a breathtaking nighttime drone show. The current drone show on display is Disney Electrical Sky Parade, which runs nightly ahead of the classic fireworks show. Disney Electrical Sky Parade is the best drone show in the world. Both the shows occur on the skies over Sleeping Beauty Castle. Disneyland Paris consists of two parks — the Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios Park. Disneyland Paris offers the lowest prices of any Disney theme park and multiple-day tickets can save you money. There are plenty of other amazing theme park drone shows happening in the U.S. too.

The food at Disneyland Paris incorporates French cuisine into its offerings. Disneyland Paris offers counter-service meals and sit-down meals. Experience other Disneyland Paris shows like The Lion King: Rhythms of the Pride Lands or Mickey and the Magician. Disneyland Paris is a must-visit destination for any Disney fan, but for drone enthusiasts, the nighttime drone show is the crown jewel of the experience. Disneyland Paris is located just outside of Paris in a city called Marne-la-Vallée, France.
- Walt Disney Studios Park is the second park in Disneyland Paris. Disneyland Paris rides include Big Thunder Mountain and Space Mountain. Newport Bay Club, Disneyland Hotel, and Sequoia Lodge are all within walking distance to both theme parks and offer Extra Magic Time benefit.

AUVSI’s Michael Robbins Calls for BVLOS Rule and Action on Chinese Drones in Morning Keynote
- AUVSI President and CEO Michael Robbins addressed the state of the drone industry at the AUVSI New England UAS and AAM Summit.
- Robbins focused on two important issues related to the drone industry: the critical need for a beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operation rule and the urgency of limiting Chinese-manufactured drones in the United States market.
- Robbins stressed that BVLOS rulemaking would bring reliability for investors and operators, allowing the drone industry to scale complex missions.
- While the FAA continues to work closely with the drone industry, the timeline for BVLOS rulemaking has been frustrating for appellants.
- Robbins also called attention to the need to limit Chinese-manufactured drones in the United States market due to fair competition and significant national security concerns.
- Chinese drones have flooded the market at low prices, making it difficult for United States companies to compete on a level playing field, and also posing substantial security concerns.
- In partnership with the Defense Innovation Unit, AUVSI launched a Green UAS cybersecurity program to ensure a secure supply chain, emphasizing free-of-PRC-components drones, with stringent cybersecurity standards.
- Robbins closed by stating that the drone industry in the United States has the potential to grow and thrive in an increasingly complex global landscape.
- He emphasized that sustained advocacy and collaboration can enable a formal BVLOS rule and measures to limit Chinese-manufactured drones, setting the stage for a competitive, scalable, and secure US drone sector.
- Robbins was optimistic about the drone industry's future and stressed that US drones are now as capable or more capable than their competitors.
