Disney Cruise Line (DCL) christened its latest vessel, Disney Treasure, with a visually spectacular mild present over New York Metropolis’s Hudson River.
The festive spectacle may very well be seen illuminating the sky final Tuesday night time. A thousand synchronized drones got here collectively above the LNG-powered ship, depicting Disney icons from Aladdin, Moana, Coco, and Haunted Mansion.
As they painted footage within the air, a full of life medley of Disney songs performed within the background. In the meantime, singer-songwriter Jordin Sparks carried out a shifting rendition of “Reside the Journey,” the Want-class vessel’s very personal anthem.
