The
Disneyland Resort announced last week that the World of Color will officially debut with the rest of the Summer Nightastic entertainment on Friday, June 11. The long-awaited official announcement confirmed the date that had been floating around for weeks, and puts the likely (but still unconfirmed) date of the media event for Thursday, June 10, a day when Disney's California Adventure park is already scheduled to close early to the public for a Grad Night event.
Now that the official opening has been announced, the question turns to when the previews will be, and who will get to go. Some guest control cast members have already had the opportunity to preview the show, cast previews are expected to start in mid-May, and all DCA cast members attend a mandatory orientation session to prepare them for the debut of the show. There are no confirmed passholder or
D23 preview dates yet, though it's likely that any Annual Passholder previews will have to be conducted via lottery system, as there are just too many APs to accommodate in one (or even 100) preview performances. As always, we'll post the latest information as it's confirmed.
