World of Color makes visitors part of the show

Like much of Disney's California Adventure, the World of Color light and water show has gotten an amazing makeover. Not only have parts of the show been changed to feature newer Disney movies (like Toy Story 3 and Brave), guests can now become part of the show by purchasing "Glow With The Show" Mickey Mouse ears that light up and change in time with the music!

I was lucky enough to be one of the first to see the new light-up ears and how they interacted with the show, at a special media viewing of World of Color last month.  Everyone who attended was given a pair of light-up ears.  The ears have built-in circuits to receive signals to light up and change colors, in the same way that the big round lights on the steps of Paradise Pier light up and change colors with the show. 

The show is already amazing, but adding the light-up ears truly makes people go Oooh and Ahhh.  It's truly amazing:  sometimes the ears will glow one color, sometimes another, sometimes they will flash different colors at random so it looks like twinkling lights.  Sometimes different sections of the viewing area will glow with different colors.  Disney officials say the ears will also work at the new Mad T Party dance party.  At $25, they're a lot more expensive than glow sticks, but then again, you can't wear glow sticks on your head the next day, and every time you visit Disneyland in the future.  And the experience of being part of the Disney magic was truly priceless!


Disclosure: The Disneyland Resort provided media privileges, park admission for my family and accomodations for the duration of the Cars Land opening event. Other costs, including transportation,meals and extra days at the Disneyland Resort, were incurred at my expense. The views and opinions expressed here are my own.
