The U.S. Navy Blue Angels are scheduled to fly over Epcot on Thursday, May 2, Walt Disney World announced Monday.
The pilots are expected to make two passes above Spaceship Earth, the big-ball centerpiece of the theme park, in the morning. (A precise time was not shared.)
The appearances, Disney says, are in honor of Military Appreciation Month. Their flight will continue to the south for the Fort Lauderdale Air Show, which is May 4-5.
For best viewing from the ground in Central Florida, Disney suggests the areas between Spaceship Earth and the entrance to World Showcase.
The Blue Angels were last seen at Disney World in 2015 and 2017, when they flew above Magic Kingdom.
