New 2026 Official Aerial Videos: See Walt Disney World Like Never Before. Ever Want to See Aerial Video of Walt Disney World? Disney just released official 2026 aerial footage of Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, EPCOT, and Disney Springs. These “bird’s-eye” views offer a pristine look at the parks as they stand today, intentionally bypassing construction zones to focus on the current magic.

What is not shown are any construction areas. This is meant to show how the parks are right now in 2026. With stunning views of the Millennium Falcon and Slinky Dog Dash at Hollywood Studios. World Celebration gardens and Spaceship Earth, the Tree of Life, and Kilimanjaro Safari (which could be one of the best overheard shots we have seen). Finally, the shopping life and vibe of Disney Springs.

Check out everything we know coming to Walt Disney World in 2026. Plus, the return of Cool Kids Summer!

Epcot Aerial Footage:

From the Disney Monorail at dawn, to the World Celebration Gardens (and an empty parking lot). We get to see it all. World Showcase Lagoon is shown as the footage turns to nighttime and the glow of Spaceship Earth in all its LED glory. Pre-Luminous fireworks with all the torches being lit, and ending with the firework spectaular.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios Aerial Video –

The Great Movie Landmark: The footage centers on the replica of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, the park’s central hub, highlighting the intricate forecourt and the bustling energy of the “Center Stage” area

Toy Story Land from Above: Viewers get a colorful look at the backyard of Andy’s house, where the tracks of Slinky Dog Dash weave through the bright, oversized toys and primary-colored landscapes that define the area.

The Millennium Falcon sits docked at its center, appearing remarkably life-like from several hundred feet above.

Tower of Terror and nighttime, and finally the Fantasmic nighttime spectacular!

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Aerial Footage –

The Tree of Life, the centerpiece of the park, is shown in multiple lighting conditions. It shows sweeping shots of the floating mountains and the Valley of Mo’ara. The footage transitions to the Forbidden Mountain, home to the Expedition Everest roller coaster. Aerial views show the expansive habitats of the Harambe Wildlife Reserve, including the red clay pits and watering holes.

Disney Springs Aerial Video –

Finally, get a feel for the “shoppers’ vibe” at Disney Springs. The video features the Aerophile balloon soaring over the West Side, the iconic Lego Store Sea Monster, and the high-energy stage in front of World of Disney
