Restored the 600+-drone segment to the nighttime show after the FAA re-cleared operator Sky Elements to fly over the park, ending the suspension that had kept drones out of the show since December 2024.
Suspended the show's 600+-drone segment following the December 21, 2024 Lake Eola drone-show accident that injured a child in downtown Orlando; the rest of the show (fountains, projection, pyrotechnics) continued nightly.
