World of Color

(that IS in fact a song, it was playing when I took this picture)

Technically this picture was taken last night but I figured as a finale post for our Disneyland adventure I would put the "finale" pictures from the evening. This is called "World of Color" at Disneyland California Adventure. It's basically fireworks but with water...and sometimes fire. I hear there's something like this in Vegas, but never having been there I'll just take their word for it.

I can say that this show is pretty awesome and I'm sure it's even more awesome from the FRONT! Which apparently, Disney sucks everyone for all their worth and if you want to see this show from any decent angle you have to get a FastPass as soon as the park opens just so you can sit/stand in the prime areas of concrete that they rope off later and call "reserved."

Still very awesome and something I look forward to watching again with Lincoln next time I go to Disneyland.



After the water show we ran to the other park. Which by the way, I thought I was being clever trying to knock both shows out at once but apparently it is a very popular idea so we were herded with the other cattle/people to the other park and shoved into a roped area with thousands of other people so we could stand and watch fireworks over the castle.

The fireworks were very cool. One of the biggest "Disney" moments was when Tinkerbell came out of the mountain and flew (via cable and harness) in front of the castle while the fireworks were going off. You can see her in this picture. She's that larger glowing dot under the fireworks.

This girl (or boy) deserves some kind of medal of bravery b/c I don't think there's any amount of money that could make me suit up in some fairy costume (probably highly flammable), suspended from some wire, and "fly" many many feet over the ground WHILE things are blowing up in the air around me. I'm sure she (or he) was very safe but still...I get nervous with fireworks over my head or anywhere nearby...much less being shot AT my head.

It was very Disney magical and what not. It was a lovely predecessor to being herded again like cattle towards the Fantasmic show.

The Fantasmic show was pretty impossible to capture on camera from our prime standing position (again we weren't allowed in the "reserved" section of sidewalk) so no pictures of that. But there are hundreds (literally) of pictures I'll post to facebook and probably use as an update over the next week or so.
