Fireworks and WOC on April 22

[MichelleCanada]

Does anyone know where I can find the times for the fireworks at MK and the WOC on April 22? That is our last night at Disneyland and we are trying to figure out if there is a way to watch both since they are returning that night.

Fireworks will be at 930p. WOC is at 9 and 1030. I could be donee, but you won't get a good view of either.

Thank you! Why won’t we get a good view of either? Wouldn’t I get a good view of which ever one we did first?

A good view of one would most likely preclude even seeing the other….You’d be better to pick your favorite and enjoy the show.

We have not seen either. We have been to WDW a few times over the last 5 years but we have not been to DL since 2005! Which is better?

Fireworks can be canceled if it’s windy. I would shoot for WOC. It’s awesome and unique!

If you had a good view of one, the time it would take to get to the second would be almost impossible.

If you got a good view of WOC, trying to get out, cross the esplanade, enter the gate and get to an even viewable spot in under 10 mins would be almost impossible. Reverse it, watch fireworks at 930, get out at 945, follow the flood of people out, to try and cross the esplanade to even get in the gate by the closing of 10p, I don't know that you'd make it. (Second show is 1015, not 1030, sorry...)

Thank you!! I think we will try to decide which one we want to see the most and get a good view of that one and play it by ear for the other.

We love both, but would as others have suggested, opt for WOC as it is rarely if ever canceled. The “winds in the upper atmosphere” can cancel the fireworks and you’d be left with Mix Magic projections. Mix Magic is fun, but pales in comparison to DL Forever or WOC.

Given that its April, the fireworks stand a good chance of being cancelled due to winds. It's frequently quite breezy in the evenings in April.

Go for WOC. The later show, if possible.

Does anyone know how they're doing the viewing areas for WOC? I think the park closes at 10 which means in the before-times, you needed a fastpass to enter after 10. With 930 fireworks, it's very tight to get through the DCA gates by 10 from the castle hub area if they don't have fastpass for entry after 10.

Note to OP, it is not possible to get to Main Street by the time fireworks starts if you see the first World of Color. It is possible to make it to the second World of Color after fireworks. I used to do it all the time but it's best if you are viewing from closer to the entrance on Main Street and you don't wait around for them to finish the outro song after the announcement that the fireworks are over.

I used to do it also, BUT that was when the 2nd WOC went off at 1030. Don't know if you can get thru the gate by 10p.

In the days before Fantasmic FP, I'd triple night show by doing Fantasmic from in front of Pirates, make the mad dash through Adventureland to make it to Main Street right in front of Jolly Holiday before the fireworks started. After fireworks, I'd cross through the shops to exit Disneyland and make it over to WOC. Back then, it was rare for them to open the back walkways and about half the time, I'd make it into DCA before they even started checking for Fastpasses.

It's going to be a challenge on the 22nd since I'm planning to do the front of the hub so if they don't do Fastpasses, I expect to get locked out of DCA.
