Wed Nov 30-We are hopping between park and have desert event with World of Color- can we still see the DL fireworks show directly after?
 
yes and no.

The dessert area for WOC is one of the front sections. It will take about 15 minutes once the lights go up to vacate your seats and make it back to the main entrance. You then have to re enter Disneyland and make your way back down Main Street. Many Many people will be trying to do the same thing and the entrance to Disneyland is a big bottle neck at this time.

A lot of people simply sit in the plaza between the 2 parks and wait for the fireworks. You don't get to see the projections on the castle but you get to see the fireworks.

If you do try to re enter the park to try to find a spot on Main Street to see the Castle, it will be very crowded.

All this of course is dependant of the fireworks actually happening, there is no guarantee that the scheduled fireworks will actually go ahead
 
I agree with BadPinkTink that you might be able to do both, but it'll be tight on time. According to Disneyland.com, WoC - Season of Light has a run time of 23 minutes. That will give you about 20 minutes to get out of the WoC viewing area, get into Disneyland, and find a fireworks viewing spot. I think you're most likely to be somewhere on BVS or in the Esplanade when fireworks begin (that's where I was the last time I watched WoC, but we didn't try to get of the viewing area as soon as the show ended - we let the crowds thin a bit because we had a stroller to deal with).
 
Honestly, I wouldn't even try it. If it were me, I'd be so stressed with the attempt that I wouldn't enjoy the fireworks, assuming I'd gotten there in time to see them.

I agree. We did the dessert party last night and while we waited to leave (stroller and wheelchair), we weren't much behind anybody else. And we just passed Ariel when I first noticed the fireworks. We were in the esplanade when the finally happened.
 
Only feasible way is to leave woc early which I wouldn't recommend. Otherwise you would have to fight the crowds out of paradise pier.
Last time I went I started seeing fireworks when on BVS, but we weren't in a hurry, which is actually a nice way to view them.
