Disneyland Resort (DL, DLR, DCA) Discussion Thread

Yeah, I don't think it would be hard to evict the 'Dancin' with Disney' children's thing in there right now, hahaha.

[Jew"It's not small, but it is very 'average.'"]

^Key word there being children. Of course it is "atrocious" to adults who critique everything at theme parks...but I don't think Disney cares so long as kids are loving it. It's cheap and effective.

I agree, but it would only go away during this special event for month. Its the best space for the exhibit, unless they only bring in a couple of boxes and use a smaller space in Animation.

Its spreading....

This summer, guests at Disney California Adventure park have been surprised and delighted by the ways in which the new “Glow With the Show” Ears magically interact with everything from “World of Color” to Mad T Party and more. Reaction to the “Glow With the Show” Ears has been so positive, the team is already working to expand the magic at the Disneyland Resort.

I’m happy to tell you that you’ll soon be able to “Glow With the Show” during “Fantasmic!” at Disneyland park. Imagine experiencing this classic nighttime spectacular in a whole new way – shimmering with the lights of romance as Disney’s royal couples drift by or becoming part of a virtual sea of flames when Maleficent sets the river on fire.
You’ll be able to get glowing with “Fantasmic!” later this month – stay tuned to the Disney Parks Blog for more updates.

Im a little indifferent on this. It works well with World of Color, but this could maybe take away from Fan!

[Simipour'sTrainerShe turned me into a donkey! I got better...]

^ I agree. It makes sense for World of Color and the Mad T Party because bright colors is stressed heavily during those events. The ears add so much during those events.

However Fantasmic, while it does have color, is more subdued and is more about specific imagery instead of flashing colors. If they can actually make the ears work for the show, I would be impressed.

The wording sounds like the glow effects will be minimal and tasteful.

This “Party Box” comes alive thanks to a house DJ, custom video, projections and special effects, all supported by the kickin’-est state-of-the-art sound system around.

An Early Holiday Gift for Disneyland Guests: Twenty Nights of Disneyland Candlelight Ceremony Performances Scheduled for 2012
posted on August 15th, 2012 by Erin Glover, Manager, Social Media and Print

Viewed 657 times

The Candlelight Ceremony and Processional has been a Disneyland Resort tradition since 1958, bringing holiday magic to Main Street, U.S.A., with the help of celebrities like Cary Grant, John Wayne, Dick Van Dyke and, in 2011, Gary Sinise.
This holiday season – for the first time in its history – the Candlelight Ceremony and Processional is being extended to a total of 20 nights at Disneyland park, with two performances each night. The first two nights, December 1-2, will be invitation-only events; however, performances from December 3-20 will be open to Disneyland Resort Annual Passholders and guests booking special, to-be-announced dining packages for the 2012 holiday season.
The Candlelight Ceremony and Processional is a beautiful evening performance of beloved holiday music and the telling of the first Christmas Story in Town Square on Main Street, U.S.A. The first performance was in 1958 and has continued every year since. These classic performances touched off another tradition at the Walt Disney World Resort – the popular Candlelight Processional at Epcot.
These are all the details we have at this time, but stay tuned to the Disney Parks Blog for more information on registration for Annual Passholders and booking for the new dining packages. We’ll share more details on the 2012 Candlelight Ceremony and Processional at Disneyland park as they become available.
Check out how we’re preparing for the holidays at Disney Parks in the posts below:

I don't really care for this event, the two times I went I actually started to fall asleep, haha. Though I know a lot of people will be really excited to be able to attend now. I do think its odd however that they went from 2 nights to 20!

^Maybe Disney now officially owns Christmas?
