Move over Tinker Bell, Disney is turning to drones to light up the sky. 

Walt Disney Parks and Resorts and Intel are partnering up to put on quite the high-tech spectacle this holiday season.

At center stage: hundreds of drones, 300 to be exact.

Disney is planning to use Intel Shooting Star drones to dazzle resort guests in an aerial performance.

Intel says in a news release that the drones weigh less than a volleyball and are equipped with color-changing led lights.

The aerial gadgets can also reportedly be controlled using just one computer.
