[Question] World of Color and Electrical Parade showings?

[RedHandedJill]

I am so excited for Walt Disney's World of Color show in spring 2010! I was wondering what times they're going to show WDWOC AND EP? Are they going to keep the park open an extra hour? Show them at the same time? Because both shows require it to be dark outside, how are they planning on doing this?

Ive heard the parade will actually return to its original home on Main Street in DL. I brought this up a few months back, just like other people have too. But I always forget what people say about it. But the rumor I regularly hear is that it will once again become the Main Street Electical Parade.

Whats the confirmation on that?

I think it would be awesome to bring it back to Main Street. Many people have discussed the idea of DCA eliminating large scale parades all together. I personally would be in favor of that, if that allows them to get rid of a parade building in DCA. But at the same time i think DCA could still have small day time parades. Just, the obvious, and marqee night time event for many years to come will be WOC. So I think small scale, day time parades will be the only way to do it. Its much different in DCA because the parade route is nowhere near ROA. But in DCA the route is close to Paradise park.

Like every new attraction at Disney I am predicting the World of Color to be Huge! I think it is going to be a great success for Disney and fill in the gap that they were expecting back in 2001. I already love the park and this is going to give it the recognition it deserves. The amount of people attending this new show will definitly push the parks closing times closer to the Disneyland Closing times. What's Great is that no matter how successfull The World Of Color Show is I still dont think it will ever compare to the popularity of Fantasmic Or The fireworks Show.

As far as an official announcement, no, not yet.

But if one were to think on the reality of the logistics,
it is likely it will happen.

Because of the crowds World of Color will produce and
the confinement that the second gate's enterance will
undergo while the development of Buena Vista Street
occurs, there will not be space available for parades as
well as crowds to share.

...I think small scale, day time parades will be the only way to do it. Its much different in DCA because the parade route is nowhere near ROA. But in DCA the route is close to Paradise park.

There has been discussion about producing
a nighttime parade for California Adventure.

However, futher development most likely
will not continue until after 2012.

I would love for EP to return to it's original title of the Main Street electrical parade. That would be awesome!
