We have annual passes to Disneyland but they have lots of black out dates which are during busy times. Our passes our blocked out for half of June, all of July and some of August. This is fine with me since I don't like going to Disneyland when it's packed anyway. June 22 was the last day that we could go until August. We decided to take a chance on a crowded day to go see the new World of Color show at California Adventure with Chris and Amanda. We didn't arrive until 4 or so and we thought we'd go see the Aladdin show and then ride a few rides while holding a spot at the new show, watch the show then go home. Good plan right? Well we headed into the park and got in line to see Aladdin.
In the first musical number of the show the stunt Aladdin still connected to ropes swung into one of the sets and got hurt. It was kinda sad, and we were disappointed to not get to see the show. Maddie and Sawyer were disappointed. (By the way Carter's pass had expired so he stayed with his cousin Jake and Grandma Faye which he was more than happy to do.) So we decided to head over to stake out a spot at World of Color. Well it turns out that the show is so popular they do fast passes in order to see it and you have to arrive very early to get one! We were told the only place we could see the show is behind it and you can't see any animation. So we were pretty bummed. It was really crowded so our favorite toy story ride had over an hour wait, which was just too long for us. We just walked around got dinner and thought maybe we'd catch part of the show just walking by. The kids had fun winning some prizes at the boardwalk games.
Maddie couldn't believe she won the LARGE prize in this fishing game. I liked this one because everyone wins! Sawyer played twice and got two small prizes.
They had this cute toy package the kids could get inside and take a pic.
After riding the golden Zephyr we noticed a small area that was not "reserved" for the show and it was near the front so we were hoping we'd get a better view than from the back. It was about an hour til the show started so I stayed and waited with Libby and Chris and Amanda took the kids on a few rides.
Libby was entranced by these lights and she just loved staring up at them. I wish I had a nicer camera cause I think it would have been a cool picture.
The show started and we were definitely looking at it from and angle but boy was it fantastic. I can't wait to go back when its not so busy to see it. It is way worth going early to get a fast pass. California Adventure is awesome and this show makes it that much better! I can't wait for the new Cars land to open up!
