First Look: World of Color water show at Disney’s California Adventure
Disney’s California Adventure will unveil new concept art this week at the Blue Sky Cellar preview center for the World of Color water show debuting in 2010.
In the “Alice in Wonderland” sequence from World of Color, the Cheshire Cat’s face will be projected on a fan mist screen while water whips create his body and tail. In the foreground, a diminutive Alice falls into a bottle floating on a psychedelic sea of color amid rising and falling fountains.
World of Color, which blends the nighttime spectacle of Disneyland’s Fantasmic and the Fountains of Bellagio in Las Vegas, is the first major addition of a $1.1-billion makeover planned for Disney’s California Adventure through 2012.
The 18-minute World of Color will feature an array of dancing fountains, movie projections and lighting effects all tied to the original Sherman Brothers musical score from the 1960s television show.
Walls of water that take the shape of virtually every recognizable Disney character and skyrocketing fountains will shoot so high they’ll obscure the newly renovated 16-story Mickey Mouse Ferris Wheel.
The Blue Sky Cellar preview center is scheduled to reopen Thursday with new artwork of the planned California Adventure expansion.

Right now it is $94.00 for one day adult park hopper admission plus parking fee…what is it gonna be when the billion dollar make over is complete? The mouse just makes you pay and pay. Time to go back to the ticket books for the rides and a small gate fee.

The one day hopper pass at $94, that’s less than my Cable TV bill.
Lets compare it to the old $1.20 entry and separate tickets for each ride, the cost was $6 average per person. A new 4 bedroom house in Anaheim was $10k back then ( I know, I had one) same house is $500k today even with devalue. Thats 5000% inflation. Hmm, lets see… $6 x 5000% = $300 I’d say $94 for 2 parks is a bargain today.
