February 5–7, 2027

This year is special. The 2027 Academy marks our 5th year, and what started as a small gathering of passionate creators has grown every single year into one of the most anticipated lighting education events in the industry.

Join us for three unforgettable days of learning, creativity, and inspiration alongside the Magical Light Shows team and some of the most in-demand programmers and designers in the world—all hosted at one of the most magical locations on Earth.

This isn’t just training—it’s a hands-on, immersive experience built on five years of refinement, feedback, and growth. You’ll learn the exact tools, workflows, and techniques used to produce professional, large-scale shows, with real systems, real sequencing, and real results.

🎓 Learn at Your Level

The Academy features two simultaneous learning tracks, allowing you to choose your path:

• Beginner / Foundations – Build confidence and master the essentials

• Advanced – Push creative limits with powerful, next-level techniques

Each afternoon and evening includes dedicated park time, giving you the perfect balance of learning and fun. (Park tickets not included; discounted ticket links will be provided.)

Bring the whole family—learn while they play!

🍽️ What’s Included

Your ticket includes Disney-catered meals throughout the event (a $350 value; specific meals to be announced).

Please ensure your name and address are entered correctly during registration, as this information will be used to officially register you for the event.
