As for picking it apart, I think what everyone has picked at is fine. The transitions are broken up because the show is right now. I would have to agree with mousermerf and say that all they need to do is get those in order, make great transitions and BOOM here I come. I also read an article from Al (now don't bash him) that TDA is looking for June 10th so all the socal and select passes are blocked out for the opening weekend and opening day. Any thoughts on that? (Soft openings would be going on through-out and by the looks of that video soft openings should be coming very very soon) I think it is a good idea seeing as socal and select are the largest chunk of passholders. But the idea that they are going to have us wait at sunshine plaza and then march us like cattle to paradise park, I am not a fan of. (Oh and the showpass is a green light, make sure you get to the park at opening or it will be one of those sucks to be you moments ;-) )

We know the show will be 25 mins, and we know that Alice will be part of the show. Now in this video, Alice is nowhere in sight.. which means that some of the segments in there will not make it into the final version (to make room for Alice. ) Which scenes? I'm not sure. I'm guessing Hercules, PoTC, and maybe a few other segments.
Originally Posted By disneywatcher >> I, for one, was thrilled and surprised to hear the first 30 seconds of this show use the original 1961 introduction of the TV show here. I was fully expecting us to only get the 21st century pop remake of that one, but we got the real intro to kick things off. You just can't help but smile when you hear that bravado voice announce "Walt Disney presents!..." << A complete version of the music and lyrics of the 1950's show was available on Youtube awhile back, but the DisCo's legal department apparently put a kibbosh to that. The announcer of that program to me was THE voice of Disney, meaning the studio, its various projects, the park, and the company in general. There's no question the DisCo is spending a bundle on the WoC presentation. From the video, it appears to be primarily a water spectacular, sort of a super-sized version of a Dancing Waters show, presumably better than the one at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. Therefore, I'm guessing projection images are being used far more than what's apparent based on the video shot from the angle and distance of the hotel guest's camera. Whatever the outcome, the DisCo finally can be given credit for putting a lot of time and money into a project connected with DCA. Hopefully, this rather unimpressive vision of the park: <a href="http://s231432788.onlinehome.us/lotion/pics/SS20100407-DCAWOC/P01-0001.jpg" target="_blank">http://s231432788.onlinehome.u...0001.jpg</a> ...will eventually give way to something of higher quality, certainly if the pace of improvement keeps chugging along. Personally, the sight of bulldozers and sledgehammers in DCA is (or will be) as much a relief and pleasure as the unveiling of the new show on the lake.

But some of us do want to know why you seem so positive about certain things. For example: >>We know the show will be 25 mins, and we know that Alice will be part of the show.<< We do? I wouldn't presume to claim to "know" anything at this point...

Anyways - say with the showpass a green light, anyone have any plans to get around the crowds? I'm thinking finding a scalper hanging outside the park and just buying them from him.

Hopefully it shows up...would be amazing.

You always bring up so many interesting topics around the Laughing Place pond--plus you're witty and kind hearted. Yes, we'd love to go see World of Color with you. We'll have to plan another trip to California before the year is up!!!
