Need a last-minute Christmas vacation idea this year? Drone fans should consider the Orlando World Center Marriott, which is offering an entirely new hotel amenity that we can get behind.
From Dec. 25 to Dec. 30, 2024 the world’s largest Marriott hotel will debut its first-ever holiday-themed drone show, designed by Sky Elements, which was a finalist on America’s Got Talent and America’s largest drone show company. The show will feature 200 synchronized drones lighting up the night sky above the resort’s Falls Pool.
Drone shows have become a highlight elsewhere in Orlando, including the Disney Dreams That Soar show at Disney Springs, plus the CineSational show over the summer at Universal. Just over a week ago, the IAAPA 2024 theme park conference hosted a record-breaking drone show for the Guinness World Record title of “Largest aerial display of a bird formed by multi-rotors/drones.”
But the Orlando World Center Marriott is blazing a trail as the first hotel in Orlando to offer such a holiday experience.
“At Orlando World Center Marriott, we want to help our guests experience the magic of the holiday season whether they are at the theme parks or looking to make memories with their family on-property,” said Robert Bray, General Manager at Orlando World Center Marriott.. “We invested in our holiday programming to introduce the best winter experience we have ever created and build new traditions for our guests.”
Here’s everything you need to know to plan your visit to Orlando World Center Marriott and experience its unique drone show offering:
The Orlando World Center Marriott drone show begins nightly at 8:30 p.m., and each evening presents a unique theme — but all with intricate formations, vibrant colors and holiday cheer.
As far as the best place to watch? The best free-to-watch spot is the Falls Pool area (though you need a wristband to enter, which you get by booking a room at the hotel). Or, if you want a more private experience, book a Holiday Drone View Room. These rooms offer a private balcony vantage point.
Otherwise, non-hotel guests can still find a way in by dining on property. Those folks should do dinner and a show at either the Lobby Bar Terrace or Mikado’s viewing deck.
Sky Elements uses drones from UVify, which famously makes the IFO drone. IFO drones cost $1,585 a piece, which means this drone show will likely have more than $300,000 worth of gear in the sky.
As it turns out, you can buy one for yourself. Though these drones aren’t sold at traditional electronics retailers, you can get your hands on your own light show fleet by emailing UVify’s sales team. And if you, drop my name. It benefits you! Give them coupon code DGIFO in your email for a 5% discount plus an additional free battery and set of high-performance props per IFO.
The drone show is certainly the highlight, but that’s far from the only winter festivities happening at this over-the-top hotel. Other activities happening at the hotel this Christmas include:
Special booking packages: The property is running a few special offers, including the “Getaway in Our World” package which includes a $50 nightly resort credit and free self-parking. For fans of free hotel breakfast, the “Breakfast Before You Explore” package includes breakfast for two adults and two children.
Cyber Sales: There’s also an early Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale that runs through Travel Tuesday) where you can save 25% on weekend stays through Jan. 20. The deal is even available during Christmas week.
Pay with points: Marriott Bonvoy members can also redeem Bonvoy points for their stay. Though many certainly earn points through frequent Marriott stays, you can also earn points through everyday spending on a Marriott credit card or by transferring points from a partner program like American Express Membership Rewards and Chase Ultimate Rewards®.
The days between Christmas and New Year’s are typically bustling at the Orlando World Center Marriott. That’s unsurprising given the hype around the drone show and the fact that many snowbird families flock to enjoy the holiday season somewhere warm. Booking early is advised to secure your spot in the center of the action.
And if you don’t make it this year, have hope. The Orlando World Center Marriott resort said it intends to host more drone shows in the future.
