DCA's World of Color - Page 12

wendybeth · 06-21-2010, 01:25 AM

I realy like WOC. Haven't seen it from the ground and probably won't, but from our room and the observation deck it is way cool and a welcome addition to DCA. It was fun racing between room and deck, and there is a breach in security that hasn't been filled yet- just go up to the six floor, go to the deck entrance, and wait for people to go in using their cards. No one has been there yet to check to see if you are actual guests, so it's worth a try.

Google maps finally has "newer" (still not new) satellite images of the resort that show the World of Color show platform under construction. The shot appears to have been taken while they were refilling the lagoon. It also shows the villas as built out, instead of just a parking lot.

For anyone who wants to look at the pretty picture SMcS mentions: click here

When I was first looking, I was thinking that they hadn't even come close to starting to refill the lagoon. Then I realized I was looking at the Radiator Springs Racers construction.

Doh!

Thanks, Kevy

Looks like the flyover was late November or early December.

The floral Mickey has his Santa hat on at DL which happened around Thanksgiving but the lagoon is not entirely full yet which happened in the first week of December (per my reading of park updates).

Uh-oh, WOC canceled tonight because of the earthquake - line for guest relations is literally out the front door!

They really need to rethink this dining package thing.

But this is cool. A touring version of WOC at the Legion of Honor in SF tonight. The same kind of projection technology they use on the holiday it's a small world facade, and the exterior of Space Mountain for Ghost Galaxy. I suspect a lot of the music is what didn't get used in WOC. Also, listen for the stretching room thunderclap! (I think recordists refer to it as Castle Thunder)

Huh? They're going to bring the projections, but no fountains, and call THAT World of Color??? WTF?

Seeing as the REAL "World of Color" was a forum for many different colorful presentations, I see no problem with using the name to tie together different kinds of visual presentations.

How many people do you think are still alive who lived when World of Color aired on TV? How many people recognize the name "World of Color" as a Disney television show from the early 1960's vs. how many recognize it only from the current Disney hype machine?

In any event, I really doubt people in San Francisco and the four other cities are expecting a tv show broadcast. Rather, I'm pretty positive they'd be expecting the fountain show that Disney has been hyping, and in fact is hyping with this roadshow tour.

Maybe they'll have some squirt guns or something.
