Exactly one year ago I went with my friends to se the world of color from Mexico after watching the whole building and testing faces on the Internet. We spent all day in California adventure we had dinner in ariels grotto and then when to enjoy the show in the reserved places. After that we went to enjoy the rest of the night (summer nightastic) at Disneyland. I loved it so much that I returned the next day but since I didn’t have reservation or a fast pass I watch it from behind (paradise pier)
Can’t believe it’s been a year! This show is always amazing every single time I watch it! It never gets old!
Another vote for the Tron Encore as favorite scene, it was absolutely stunning!
I would love to see Bolt be added to the show sometime, Perhaps in the finale. It was a good movie!
I love that this show is so easy to change. I’d love to see a “I See the Light” sequence from Tangled, or anything from Nightmare Before Christmas!
Everything about the show is so magical, and it’s awesome to see them constantly updating it with stuff from Tangled and Pirates 4. PLEASE tell me there’s going to be a Cars Encore soon!
I loved it. THought it was great. Cant wait to see it again in June. BTW, does it ever change or will it be the same show that it was in November?
Love World of Color. The pictures made with the water are stunning no matter where you view it from.
I am a little biased in saying the special Tron ending was my favorite. The lights on California Screamin’ were an awesome touch.
World of Color is a great show. It finally gave California Adventure a nighttime spectacular of its very own.
