Imagine if a drone went down over a guest area! Additionally, it seems like there's a lot of room for error when trying to coordinate multiple drones in a small area under real-world wind conditions. I'm not sure it would be as effective as they seem to believe. If anything, it seems like this might be one of those times that Disney is getting the patent so they can license it to others in the future Plus there's that pesky little problem of the current FAA ban on commercial use of drones, so I don't think anybody will be doing this any time soon
