It looked like a flying spider and very methodically surveilled the park. Workers waved at it, assuming there was a camera attached. Park officials are saying it didn't happen.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros If it was a 'real' drone, then I don't think it would have been flying around at 40'. That elevation is lower than most of the treetops, and many of the buildings (Carthay Circle is just under 80' tall) Most likely it was something being tested by Disney for an upcoming attraction/show (like the dragon for WDW's Fantasyland expansion opening), or some CM who wanted to test out their latest gadget from Brookstone

They used one at Magic Mountain to film part of the Full Throttle commercial and grand opening. It was hovering need the top of the loop. You can see the footage on youtube.
