They're flying over the iconic attraction, around 9:30 a.m., in honor of Military Appreciation Month and "before continuing their flight to the Fort Lauderdale Air Show in Florida."

"In 2015 and 2017, the Blue Angels performed similar flyovers to the cheers of thousands of guests at Magic Kingdom Park. At speeds of more than 250 mph, the Blue Angels performed a perfect “Delta Break” maneuver right above Cinderella Castle." — Disney Parks Blog
