WORLD OF COLOR Set for June 11 Debut at Disney's California Adventure

Lights, water, music, fire and animation will come together like never before on  June 11 when WORLD OF COLOR makes its dazzling debut at the Disney California Adventure theme park in Anaheim, Calif. The show combines nearly 1,200 powerful fountains with heights that range from 30 feet to 200 feet in the air, dazzling colors and a kaleidoscope of audio and visual effects, including both classic and new animation projected on the world's largest projected water screen-a wall of water 380 feet wide by 50 feet high for a projection surface of 19,000 square feet . Presented on Paradise Bay in Disney California Adventure park, WORLD OF COLOR is a major milestone in the multi-year expansion of the park.

With anticipation and excitement building for the June 11 premiere of the nighttime spectacular, several options are in place for guests who want to maximize their day of fun at the park and make plans to enjoy the show that night.

For primary viewing of the show in Paradise Park, guests will need to obtain a special FASTPASS for WORLD OF COLOR or they can select from several Dinner and Picnic packages that include reserved viewing. Guests will also enjoy alternative viewing from locations around Paradise Bay.

WORLD OF COLOR will be presented twice nightly throughout the Disneyland Resort "Summer Nightastic!" season, June 11 through Aug. 29 (except June 16-17 when Disney California Adventure will be closed for Grad Nights). Guests will stand during the 25-minute shows – at 9 p.m. and 10:15 p.m. – and they may bring strollers into the reserved viewing area.

Guests who do not obtain a FASTPASS or reserve dinner packages for WORLD OF COLOR may watch the show from viewing locations around Paradise Bay.

FASTPASS for WORLD OF COLOR
The FASTPASS for WORLD OF COLOR will be available each morning at the Grizzly River Run FASTPASS terminals. Guests can insert their park tickets into the terminal to obtain a FASTPASS ticket for the show, and they will be assigned a specific show time. As with other FASTPASS attractions, a limited number of passes are available for "World of Color." When all of the day's WORLD OF COLOR FASTPASS allotment has been distributed, Grizzly River Run terminals will convert back to distributing the Grizzly River Run FASTPASS tickets.

Guests arriving before park opening to line up for the WORLD OF COLOR FASTPASS may enter the Esplanade at 7 a.m. and gather at the Main Entrance to Disney California Adventure. When Disney California Adventure opens to the public, guests lined up for FASTPASS will be walked into the park and over to the FASTPASS terminals.

In addition to the FASTPASS for WORLD OF COLOR, a selection of specially-themed dinner package options, which include reserved viewing, are available.
