Have you seen this video from The Disney Parks Blog? Wow!
Posted by Heather Hust Rivera, Manager, Print and Social Media, Disneyland Resort:
"The footage was shot from a fixed-wing aircraft recently at approximately 1,800 feet above Disney California Adventure park. I particularly like the wide shot where you can see Glow Fest, “World of Color,” and the whole city of Anaheim around Disney California Adventure park."
Posted this morning by the Orange County Register:
Disney’s premiere party for the “World of Color” show is an invitation-only event. But anyone with a web connection can watch the first official show online Thursday night.
A webcast of the show at Disney California Adventure is set for 8:45 p.m. on www.ustream.tv/worldofcolor.
Celebrities are set to walk a red carpet inside the park before watching the light-and-water show featuring dancing water bursts and animation projected on a water screen.
On Friday, general park visitors can see the nighttime show for the first time.

Paradise Bay is busy at night as employees test the lights and fountains to be used in the World of Color in Disney’s California Adventure. The show is set to feature images of Disney cartoons projected on a 19,000-square-foot water screen and fountains that squirt up to 200 feet.
An opening date for the show will be announced later this spring.
Paradise Pier
Beside the glowing lights around Paradise Bay, the recently built lighthouse statue in Paradise Park also lights up at night.
A control booth can be seen under the pier.
Lanterns have been placed under the trellises in Paradise Park.
The shrubbery and trees in Paradise Park are growing in, providing the park with some much-needed shade. Other Disney blogs suggest that fountains are placed within the flowerbeds as part of the water play area.
Work is also going on during the day in Paradise Park.
The structure of the Golden Zephyr is out from behind tarps, but the ride is still closed for refurbishment.
Now that spring break season is in full swing, the parks are crowded. Make use of the recently opened walkway between the Tower of Terror and A Bug’s Land.
Rivers of America and more
The Rivers of America is also still drained for refurbishment. But visitors can get glimpses of the empty bed.
All the attractions on the river, including the Sailing Ship Columbia, Mark Twain Riverboat, and Tom Sawyer Island are closed during the refurb.
Sanuk, a top-selling shoe store in Downtown Disney, closed last Sunday so that its neighbor Ridemakerz could expand. The owners want to re-open the shoe store in another Downtown Disney location, but a spot has yet to be found. The shoe store opened in the temporary location for the holiday season.
Dino Jack is now gone from his sunglass selling spot on Paradise Pier, but now park guests can own a piece of him. This pin debuted at the resort last week and features an actual piece of the building that once was Dino Jack’s Sunglass shack.
It sells for $15.95 plus tax.
