You had a nice seating spot close to the Hub for Disneyland Forever fireworks that night and you were able to get some nice shots of Paint the Night parade.
Cool! It would definitely be hard to pay attention to the projections and watch the parade at the same time, but it seems like a neat idea.They also did some projections on the Castle during the parade, but I focused mostly on the parade after that.
Naturally! Never fails that you try to take a picture and get that instant in between.There were projections on the trailer, but I happened to snap a photo right in the time when things were refreshing.

I did too, but as Magdalene points out below, I guess they are doing that when Shanghai opens.
Fran asked if I wanted the Mickey Ears, but they're such a waste of good money. I would rather go on a cruise!
I would never have realized that these are the characters that used to roam the crowds in the early days of World of Color, but Bret pointed it out in his TR and now I remember.
Sounds like we worked out October on Jenny's thread. We can go out to dinner after you see the house, or I could make us dinner.

Really? That's cool, I never knew that! What I what to know is, how were they able to walk through the crowds with everyone being so tightly packed in
Where do you suggest I camp out to see both?
People do forget about the puppets during the debut year of WoC while it is the first entertainment before WoC started. I still remember back in June 2010 during the first weekend of WoC and it was super busy and people were all squished in the viewing area to see the new show.
I still have my old videos of the WoC Pre-Show on the debut night during my June trip
Just depends on where you want to see the parade and fireworks. If you want to see the parade and fireworks (on MS where the buildings will be projected for Disneyland Forever fireworks) spot, I would suggest watching it from MS by the Coke Corner or somewhere around that area. You can also see Matterhorn Mountain where it will be projected for the fireworks. Then you will be able to see SB Castle, MS and Matterhorn during DF fireworks. The only thing is that it will require wait time which can be very high in the 2+ hour range. You can also watch it from IASW Plaza which has the least amount of wait time but you won't get to experience DF way more over on MS or in front of SB Castle. But you will be able to see the IASW facade all projected during DF fireworks.
That is AWESOME that you were there the first weekend it opened! How early did you get there to get a good spot?
Thanks for the vids!
Thanks Bret! Like grab a table at Coke Corner? Or a bench? I am thinking more like 3+ hours which pains me but I want to see both Paint the Night and the DF Fireworks. Guess I can bring my portable phone charger and have the girls come give me a potty break every now and then. LOL! I like watching the fireworks from IASW or while on BTMRR but only if I have seen them. I like a really good view the first time. Thanks for the tips. I really appreciate it. So 6:30 sounds about the right time. Tough decision. We'll be back in August but there is no way my boys will go for a 3 hour wait for anything.

Your spot for the parade was excellent, and you got some very nice shots.
The parade is beautiful as ever.

Okay so the good news it that you're already taking TWO cruises!!! Now you have that 'free' money to get the ears!!! Can't wait to see you in them!

You had a great view of the parade! People have been really happy with this parade and i'm hoping I'm able to catch it soon.
Wow on the photos girl! Amazing. Where do you suggest I camp out to see both?
I knew I replied.
No diet adbice from this girl. Do what works.
I'm glad your car club trip is a go but sorry we'll miss you.
OMG what a great spot to view the parade. And it looks so different to anything I have ever seen. We are so excited that we will have a chance to see it next year. Thanks for sharing your great pics.
Can we play this by ear? I'm hoping to arrive at 1:00, so a late lunch might be better, unless you want me to go check in first and then come over. I'll let you know as soon as I book flights. I usually never leave flights this late but I'm having to time things carefully.
This parade looks totally gorgeous! I can't wait to see it!!!! Do you like the music better than the MSEP?
I heard it's similar to the MSEP.
The Genie, Lumiere and Tigger were three of the original five puppets during the World of Color Pre-Show back in 2010 during WoC debut year. I remember those so well before WoC started and this show was trying to get the crowd all energetic for the show. The other two were Sebastian & Mike Wazowski which isn't part of Paint the Night parade. When I saw my video of the puppets back in 2010, they are very close to similar to the PtN parade characters.
The castle looks absolutely stunning in this light.
Paint the Night looks amazing. I can't wait to see this for myself.

The parade pics are great - nice work !
Beautiful pictures of the new parade, looks like a really nice one.
Hope they can bring a version of it or a similar new one to Florida. (although I would love to just have SpecroMagic Back but I know that can't happen)
Goal #2! Good for you!!!! So proud of you.
I hope you decide to go; I know how much you are looking forward to getting out of town. Keep me posted!
What an amazing place to watch the parade from. Lucky you!
