Orlando World Center Marriott should be on your family travel radar this winter season. The property recently announced its partnership with SkyElements to introduce a new Holiday Drone Show to be displayed nightly, Dec. 25–30. Flying above the resort with Walt Disney World in view, the 12-minute show will feature synchronized drones displaying beautiful pictures in the sky, all set to the tune of themed music.
Each night will feature a different show, creating a unique experience for guests throughout the season. A special themed show will take place Dec. 28 in honor of the resort’s signature Mermaid & Glow Party.
