As part of the Bastille Day fireworks celebration, Disneyland Paris operated more than 1,500 drones simultaneously.
According to the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™, the park hosted the most drones ever, with an official count of 1,571.
Fittingly, the Cast Members in charge of the project selected the most iconic image for this feat.
The “1,571 drones illuminated a giant tricolor Mickey Mouse head over Sleeping Beauty Castle.” Mickey Mouse FTW!
According to Disney, the Bastille Day fireworks presentation featured images of iconic French attractions like the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame Cathedral.
The show also displayed scenes from The Aristocats, Ratatouille, and Sleeping Beauty, all of which include French connections.
Disney notes that when we factor in pyrotechnics and lights alongside the drone choreography, this one-time-only event utilized over 1,630 drones.
