The Wonderful World of Color looks beautiful!!! Eeekkk....I cant wait to see it!
It is so GREAT!!! Nothing else like it. I hope they add something similar to WDW, it would be such a fantastic offering and could work well at AK (no fireworks!). Maybe with Avatarland we'll get something similar for a night show.
WOW! What a cool show! Thanks for all the wonderful pictures. Amazing!
Your welcome!!! I don't feel like my pictures fully capture it-but give a decent taste.
The show is awesome.
YOU"RE BACK! Oh, how I have missed your TR! Glad you are all moved, cruise was wonderful and you are getting back in the swing of things!
I love the lit trees lining the sidewalk. Looks like it would be almost magical to walk through in the evening. Also your hair looks really cute in this picture! A totally different look than when it is down:
I am glad that your friend explained Joe's eye condition to the CM's and got you up front so he could see the details of the show! I am sure that he is always just trying not to have anyone make a fuss, but like you said - the guy can't see very well! And everyone deserves to have a wonderful view when they fly clear across the country to see & do something!
I'm leaving the actual WOC post to read after work today, excited to read the rest of the details of the trip and then hopefully read all about the cruise as well (if you are TR'ing that!).
Thank you!!! And YES! I am BACK! It feels good to be mostly caught up on things. I want to share some pictures of our new place and our awesome 4th of July too - I have a few life updates!
Thank you for the compliment about my hair! I wear it back/up quite a bit in the evening because I get tired of it on my neck now that it's so long.
That is exactly it about Joe's eyes! He never wants to bother with it, and doesn't want to be looked at as "weird" or something. He just wants to be normal. I get it....but....
I will be TRing the cruise! I have no idea how I'll get this all done before our October trip though...I really want to! I need to keep at this pace!
WOW! I am so excited to see WOC! Your pictures are fantastic. I have to figure out if we should get the WOC dining package (or just get the regular fastpass) and if so, which restaurant. My family will be there from 8/12-8/16 and I am figuring it will be very busy at the parks! Even though we are staying offsite I hope to visit the Disney hotels.

Disneyland trip!!!!! The parks will likely be very busy during your dates. The dining package will get you into that "Green" area, so I'd go that route unless you want to line up early to get the best seat possible in your FP color. If we go back during busy months we'll do the dinner probably just to make it easier. What hotel are you staying at?
mega update!!!!!!!!
LOVE love love the WOC pictures. Gorgeous! I wanna go! Now! Oh, I need to fit a trip in somehow. Seems like it wouldn't be hard as it's relatively close but you know how it goes.
I like Cheesecake factory although I admit to finding the menu way too big, to the point of being overwhelming. Really great turkey burger though.
What a fun night with your friend.
I hope you guys can get there soon, it's been a few years, right? The WoC is an amazing show, plus all the new areas of DCA! I can't wait to get back.
The menu IS overwhelming, I agree! I think that's why I always end up with the same (or very similar) thing - I read through it all and just give up.
I really like what I get, so it's all good!
Brooke the photos were awesome!!! I KNEW they would be.
We loved this show. There is a very good HD video on youtube for WOC that I sometimes watch when I am feeling a little
And I LOVED the pirates part, too. We had used our early entry option in the morning to get FP for WOC that evening and so glad we did. I didn't care for the menu options enough to bother with the picnic option and didn't want to spend the money for the dinner/show option, so having the early entry worked out great. Can't wait to hear more.
Oooh, I'm going to have to check out that HD video! I'd love to see the show again, just for a little fix.
We did exactly the same with the early entry FPs (loved that perk) - I think if we went back during busier months we would do the dinner though, just for it to be easier.
Yay updates! Glad to have you back! I love finding DL TRs through a WDW vets eyes
I want so badly to see World of Color but I'm purposefully avoiding it on YouTube and whatnot - I want my first time seeing it to truly be a surprise because I haven't heard a single bad thing about the show.
Thanks for posting so many pics of the offsite hotels! I have a feeling that's where DBF and I will end up whenever we make it out there (unless you talk to me on one of my 'splurge' days - then we're staying at the Grand Californian
) so it's great to see pics of them all and how close they are to everything - both Disney and non-Disney options as well.
Can't wait for more! Will you be doing a cruise TR eventually?
I did the EXACT same thing as you-I avoided videos/pictures, etc! I'm so glad I did! The real experience is worth the wait! I am normally not like that (Joe is with most things though), and I want to know exactly what to expect, but, I made myself wait with WoC!
The offsite hotels are an EXCELLENT options and some are actually closer than Paradise Pier! Some of the hotels are pretty nice too, and have Disney themed rooms!
I will be doing a cruise TR when I finish this one - hopefully I can get both done before our October trip.
(a girl can dream, right?!)
Wow!!!! just WOW!
I love those WOC pictures.
I can see why you took so many. I would be there right with you!
Thats wonderful you got to see your friend too. My BFF from grade school lives out there (She was home last week for a visit too) and she works in the movie industry as well. She said it was funny one time when she picked up the phone for her boss and he said "this is Arnold, can I talk to Paul?" LOL As in "the" Arnold who is now governor.! Seh worked with Kevin Bacon too, so if you ever play 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon, you can use my name...No one will no the tie end....but I am in the 6 degrees!
The show is amazing-my pictures don't even do it justice really! I hope they add something like this to WDW!
that's funny about Arnold and the six degrees of Kevin Bacon! How crazy to pick up the phone and speak to Arnold!!!
Wow! World of Color looks amazing!!! I'm so glad your friend was able to get a FP for the show!
Me too! It was so nice of that CM to write some FPs! Love that pixie dust!
I have the horn on video right when we were passing the Statue of Liberty. So cool!
Are you going solo? (I cannot remember the details around it...work trip extended?)
I AM SO EXCITED!!! I literally can't believe that I am FINALLY going to see it!!! 
and the awesome experience with the characters!!
