The new big-ticket attraction this year is the “Sounds of America: A Nighttime Spectacular” drone show, which kicked off last week. The nighttime show features over 200 drones lighting up the sky over Gaylord Palms with aerial art set to an original resort soundtrack.
The best place to see the show is on the Coquina Lawn. “Sounds of America: A Nighttime Spectacular” begins at 9 p.m. on the following nights:
June 14, 28
July 3, 5, 19, 26
Aug. 10, 30
Sept. 1
Also new this year are two pool parties in the Cypress Springs Water Park — the Sunshine Splash Bash and the nighttime Aqua Glow Pool Party.
During the day, the Sunshine Splash Bash will host a DJ spinning summer jams and leading attendees in poolside games. There are also poolside animal encounters with Florida wildlife like alligators and snakes.
When the sun goes down, the resort’s water park becomes a glow-in-the-dark pool party with DJs spinning and opportunities to don glowing face paint and sip light-up cocktails. The Aqua Glow Pool Party pops up on select nights through Sept. 2.
If you’ve ever wanted a frozen drink immediately after a brisk bike ride, Gaylord Palms has the rentable ride for you. The Spin ‘n’ Blend Bicycle is equipped with a manually powered blender between the handles to mix up frozen cocktails or mocktails.
