I do encourage anyone and everyone to see World of Color in person. The colors are vibrant, the fountains are HUGE, and the whole show delivers a feeling that can’t be captured by any electronic device. It’s not totally about story, which is a departure from Disney’s usual attractions. In this case, it’s about pure feeling, emotion, and a sensory experience. Just because Fantasmic uses water screens doesn’t make it a fair comparison. World of Color can only be fully understood by standing in front of it in awe of the transformation from a calm lagoon to a dancing nighttime spectacular.

I completely agree Andy. I was hesitant to even post this video because it simply does not do the show justice. I’ll be posting a written review of the show soon (and have already included a spoken one on Show 271 – http://www.insidethemagic.net/podcasts/271) and I will always emphasize that no video can ever do this show justice.

The depth and size of the show is simply stunning. It’s an experience that can only be appreciated in person – unless perhaps you’re watching on a 200-foot tall computer screen.

But, you have to see it live. Youtube can’t capture what is presented in an area wider than a football field.

I suppose everyone is entitled to their opinion, but what I’d ask people to do is to hold their opinion until they can see it live. This is really a multi-sensory presentation. Until you feel the mist in your face, the heat of the fire, the boom of the music you must reserve judgment. The comparison to Fantasmic is natural, but the water screen if about 4x the size.

I was lucky enough to catch the 9pm show on Saturday. I think it’s their best night show. No picture of video can tell the story of World of Color.

Great video Ricky! Can’t wait to hear the podcast tomorrow. I had three more trips planned this year to Disneyworld and am now thinking of changing one of them to Disneyland.

Looks so amazing cant wait to see it!!!!! There are going to be a lot of depressed color blind people =P

I agree with scott and louise. I thought the end was kind of stupid it was just basically a recap of everything you had just saw. seems a little repetitive

I think that they should put more of a story to it and not leave some of it to just the fountains, because I truthfully don’t think that they fountains can handle it. They need to have the screens going constantly and at some points I wasn’t sure what all the animations were. Overall I loved it but I hope it’s better in person.

Totally agree with you Scott.

As cool as the fountains are etc…they get old after 5 mins. 10 I guess with the Disney Touch. But the lack of NEW animation is disappointing.

It isn’t original…it is a ramped up Fantasmic but without the live action. I mean the Disneyland version of Fantasmic with the Dragon and the Sailing Ship Columbia…it is far more interactive.
