WEEKENDS!!! (feat. Sirah) - Skrillex

I don't know for sure, because I was in the viewing area as everything else was happening. I do know that they closed most of the rides in Paradise Pier, I noticed them emptying the Fun Wheel at I'd say, 8:00ish. I think they were closed for the night, as there were showings until the park closed.

I saw the first showing yesterday. Got my FastPass way early in the morning (was towards the front of the line), then returned to the parks and waited to get into the viewing area at 6:15. Honestly, there is no need to wait to get into the viewing area. The FastPass states to report at 7:30, and the people who didn't wait to get in got spots just fine. We cared to do nothing else, so we just decided to wait it out. The show was incredible. The videos online, no matter how HD they are, will ever do the show justice. I went in with high expectations and was still blown away. Before I start sounding too positive, there were a few dull moments. Parts where it's just clips of movies projected onto the mist screens were just unnecessary. However, where the show really shined was when all elements of the show were incorporated and working together (lazers, fountains, projections, etc.) Some parts just felt unreal to watch. For example, in the Little Mermaid part, there's an effect where it looks as if the ocean is rising. You can see it in the videos, but the effect is truly impressive in person. I saw many people crying at the end of the show. I myself, teared up. Robb stated it correctly in his post. If you're a person who enjoys shows like this, then World of Color is right up your alley. Otherwise, you might want to spend your time elsewhere.

I'm down for a WoC day! I graduate June 3rd (...finally!) so anytime after that is good for me.

This applies to me! I'm in the same boat as the ghost. I've seen the current fireworks show at Disneyland (Remember...) too many times to count. To the point where I've pretty much memorized every shell, every line, etc. And still, I'll wait sometimes up to an hour and a half for a spot in front of the castle. I can't explain why, but it's something to do with the 'magic' of it. It sounds kind of corny, but I totally 'buy into' the "Disney magic". I guess for me, it's more the fact that it's something Disney produced, which automatically makes me interested. There's always the factor that I'll be disappointed by World of Color, but I know no matter what, I'll still really enjoy it because it's, well, Disney. And it's "magical". Hahaha, I'm such a Disney nerd.

^ One of my favorite songs by her. It's especially good when she does it live! Love her! Car Crash by Artist Vs. Poet

SAME. HERE. Every one of my friends thinks it looks stupid, but all I hear are rave reviews about it. I need to see this!

^ Aaah, Lincolnshire Posy. My band director introduced me to the song and I listened to it in full not too long ago, and I absolutely loved it. The third movement is so, so sick - it's the one that made me fall in love with the piece in the first place.

Decided to revive this thread! Anyways, I'm playing in my school district's Honors Band, and we had our first rehearsal for this year yesterday. We received a piece called "Strange Humors" by John Mackey and I can't stop listening to it or stop playing it. It's such a fun song to play and really just overall an amazing composition. It's so perfect in the way it utilizes the different ways that instruments can make unusual sounds. I'm pretty obsessed with this song at the moment, haha. There's an english horn solo in the beginning of the song, and it continues with the melody to about 2:02. Since we have no english horn in our band, I'm playing the solo and it's incredible to play. The melody is so haunting and sultry. I love it. Anyone else in band playing interesting music?

Billionaire by Travie McCoy (feat. Bruno Mars)

What's being tested at the moment is actually very accurate to what was presented. I thought it was pretty cool. It actually gave me the chills haha, I guess water and music is all it takes. I can't imagine what it'll be like to watch all that from Paradise Park. Anyways, just thought I'd share!

I for one am very excited for World of Color, however forcing people not in the viewing area to "avert their eyes" from the show? That's pretty ridiculous. If a policy this absurd ends up being used, I'd hate to be working for Guest Relations...

Hey! Where exactly did you see me?

^ Oh, high school. I can totally relate. It's really annoying when people think you're less a person than you are just because you can't find a companion. But I'd rather find someone that I truly love than use someone merely as an 'accessory'... the right person just hasn't come along yet. You're a stronger person for not choosing to fit the 'mold' that is given to you once you enter high school... even middle school nowadays. But yeah, I totally feel you, man!

Man, I kept seeing you guys all day but I couldn't connect the faces to the screen names. Well now I know, so here's a late "hey!" I'll be sure to say hey in person next time! But anyways, great pictures man, I especially loved the Scream! ones. Looks like you guys had a great time!
