This show was to honor the 100 year anniversary. How does this happen when you do not honor the films that helped put you on the map? It focused on low grossing, newer films. Haven’t even seen a few of them so I had no idea what I was watching. How would you not throw in Avatar, Snow White, Pirates,Frozen, Dumbo? No sign of Mickey either. Decent focus on Star Wars, that was cool but didn’t Disney buy the rights just a few years back? The original WOC was sweet but this felt confusing. Cool stuff with water and lights but not worth the money. People can stand on the bridge for free.

The viewing platform was the only benefit to paying an $89 per person fee. Check in was confusing as it is down a side street from the show and is scheduled at the same time as the first show so crowds are chaotic. The worst part of the event was the food. They served cheap cheese and crackers, grapes, and some bland uninspired desserts like a macaron and rice Krispy treat. Having been at WDW's dessert parties, this fell way short. I recommend finding viewing early and saving your money on this event.

We preferred this to the fireworks at Disneyland the following night. Its an immense 22 minute show (currently 24 minutes as there is a 2 minute Elemental pre-show) full of colour, music, huge fountain jets and mist spray projections. I think it really can't be missed.
We experienced it via the desert party which is expensive for a family but you get a seat at the end of a long day which you don't get any other way. A couple of drinks (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) are included.
We had tickets for the 9pm show, which meant our desert party reservation was from 8pm. We were passing the check-in at 6.45pm and were able to quickly check-in and have a table allocated and then continue on to ride Grizzly River Rapids and Little Mermaid, returning at around 7.40pm.
There were people waiting and sitting around, but not many in a formal line. I joined the formal line near the front and was glad we did. Although tables are allocated already it takes a surprisingly long time for them to work through the line to get you to your table. We'd already got a decent way through our desert plate and first drink and folks were still in line to be seated.
We were allocated table 29 which is pretty central front row, but its not a particularly good table as it had lots of the wall-top globe lamps blocking parts of the view so I ended up standing at an empty part of the back row of the World of Color viewing area when there were bits I particularly wanted a good view of, to the right of centre. You do want to be seated over to the right of centre so ask for that on allocation.

The World of Color at Disneyland is a beautiful water show experience with Disney music, movie backgrounds and water foundation. The colors are amazing and get there early.

I travel with an electric wheelchair. 10 years ago I tried to see the World of Color and it was just too hard for me. This year I tried something new: World of Color Dessert Party! It cost $89 and included a reserved table and a platter of desserts, grapes and cheese. I'm alone so I shared my table with another family which was absolutely wonderful. I had a high table with a captains chair-I crawled up into, and the view was perfect! The cast was extremely nice to me and accommodating. You check in at the water wheel at the Redwood trail and they bring you to your seat. If you're looking for a special experience this is the one.

This is usually a good end to the day. You can get into a “virtual queue” -on the Disneyland app, queue opens at 12 noon which gets you into certain “better” viewing areas. Or you pay for a full course dinner at selected restaurants and get a “preferred” ticket area, which is central and slightly elevated. The view is definitely a little better from here, but we still were there 45 mins before the show to get the front area. The show itself was good, but it seemed more like advertising for various Disney films, rather than a coherent story. In fact, it started with a plug for Elemental! And the end was a poor fizzle out, I was not sure that it had ended, neither did many others. The whole show lasted about 30 mins. Was slightly disappointed at the end.

My family and I are big Disney fans. I have always loved world of color but this new world of color one was so disappointing!! I was so upset to feel this disappointed with Disney. The show was nothing like the previous world of colors. I look forward to this all the time but I will for sure not see One again. I hope Disney shows the old world of color. This one focused on race and equality. It showed all these newer movies not the old classics like Disney is known for. And I have to say with all the mention of equality there was not one white princess in the show!!! I am so disappointed with the effects. The old one had fire while showing clips from Pirates of the Carribean. This one has nothing like that.

We haven't seen the World of Color show in years. I don't remember liking it very much the last time I saw it. However, I heard that it had been updated so we decided to watch it again. We did the 12pm virtual queue so we had a special viewing area close to the front and center of the show. It is supposedly in the "wet zone" though so you can get wet. We were only misted a bit but I can see if the wind is blowing a certain direction, you could get quite wet.
The show has definitely improved a lot. There is a Star Wars section and a Marvel section that we liked a lot. There is also a Ratatouille section which is always enjoyable. Anything to do with Remy is a plus. The show does have fire and laser elements, on top of the use of water jets and screens.
Definitely recommend you see this if you have the time! The show is long, about 25 minutes!

Had the opportunity to see this twice while at California adventure and I wish I could of seen it more. Star wars, Disney movies, avengers and most importantly Walt Disney with great music. Usually held at 9 and 10:15. If you want to end your day on a great note, you need to see this.

I dont get it. I have zero clue how anyone is giving this 5 stars. I bought the $89 dogshit deserts, crapy drinks and garbage seats package. Get a high top, if you dont all the people standing are in your way for the show. 15 seconds of fireworks, lame as lame can be. Worst part is no one knew if it ended. Literally a guy walks over to the host and goes I just want to be clear there is nothing else. Such a confusing ending. I have no idea how there are only 4 and 5 star reviews. 9 of us paid for the $89 package from ages 10 to 68 and two people left early because it wasn't worth it at all. Honestly skip the show and the package.

I am travelling to Disney again in November and I am really wanting to do the dining with world of colour show. I am struggling to find what days the show is on as I was told last time I was there that they only have it on certain nights. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

If you download the Disneyland app you can make reservations too.
It will give available times and dates when the show is available.
But be advised you don't get a rain check if it rains even if you do the dining experience. So just get a fast pass and get in line early 😬🤷🏽♀️

As for parades , there was one big one there , i believe on the Disneyland side, you will need to check schedules for this, for accommodation, if you stay at Hilton Anaheim with a room facing Disneyland up high you can watch the fireworks from yur room on the weekends, added bonus for the lights show, if on a weekend.
again, check you tube for parades for a better understanding.

Hello I will have a 16 month old along with two young boys, does the 16 month only have to buy a ticket for the Dessert Party, as they don't have an entry ticket either? thank you
