Two Day's of Nightastic!

Last Thursday and Friday I took a two day trip to Disneyland. First day was spent with friends, and the second, with my family who drove down Thursday night. We spent the night down there, and I was on watchdog duty to gauge the line of campers, eagerly awaiting to get inside DCA to get their tickets for the first public showing of World of Color.


Now, this was a very long time for me, because on Wednesday, I crashed at a friend's house. We all stayed up until at least midnight, watching movies, only to wake up @ 4am, to get ready for the day (we had to meet the rest of the group at Enterprise at 5:45 to pick up the van). So, I got 4 hours of sleep that night. Spent a full day at Disneyland, and didn't get into the hotel room until 10:00 that night. Finally got to bed around midnight after eating a late dinner, and checking stuff online. Got up once at 3AM to check the line. Only about 200 people. Got up at 6am, walked over, and checked the line again. give or take about 1300 people in the campout line. Called up the parents, told them to start getting ready. An hour later, we get back, and the line has about, 2500 people. So, we get in line, and get our tickets for the show.

Represent! Not really...L.A's much better than here.

Had to walk through Condor Flats to get to GRR's fastpass area.
And yet...another line.
We got our tickets, and then spent the rest of the day riding attractions, and really keeping it chill. We didn't do much.
Looks bad in the day time, but looks AWESOME at night.

Now, here's my two cents on Glow Fest.

Yes, it does look bad during the day. But at night, this area is rockin'! It's family friendly (despite the bars located on the street), and they play some really cool remixes of not only the latest songs, but also classics (they played a remix of The Police's De Do Do Do De Da Da Da).

If you don't like loud music, or neon flashing lights, this isn't for you. Everyone that I saw seemed to be enjoying it.

This is for all the people who don't like it:
Stop wasting your time typing out your hate for it when you:
A) more than likely haven't seen it in person
B) already don't like flashing lights and loud music
C) are against drinking in a theme park.

You are entitled to your opinion, but when you get overly emotional about it, you just sound annoying. If you want to talk about it, at least be civil.


Tony Baxter was with a group of people walking into Fantasyland, they kept pointing at stuff, so who knows what they're doing.

The Lady in the black is Laura Dern. She acted in Jurassic Park 3.

Chuck Taylors do Captain EO.

And a final note: The World of Color is beyond amazing. It takes you on a whirlwind of emotions portrayed through the visual mediums of color and Disney films. This is the first show that I cried at.
What people are failing to realize is that there's no...wait for it.....no.......STORY to this show. You want a story? See Fantasmic!. You want a show that goes from one emotion to another? See World of Color.
Both are phenomenal shows, and I'll be seeing both of these shows many times in the future.

Gina - I'll post more tonight. (:
I didn't take any photos of World of Color, as I wanted to just watch the show first time around. (:
