5 /5 Grey K: Ive seen this show a handful of times over the years and it keeps getting better and better. Truly the best show that Disney does and is worth staying for / getting a park hopper if you only have one day at Disney. As of right now, they open up the virtual queue at noon, so try to snag a spot if you can. If you get into the yellow or blue sections, go down to the "splash zone" half an hour early and get a spot at the railing. You dont get wet anymore, its more like a fine mist thatll rain upon you and its the best spot. Even if a few people are in front of you because you cant get the rail, the projections are large enough that you wont miss anything.
Imo, its not worth getting a dining package when virtual queue is available and to be fair, any spot is a good viewing spot, even if youre on the bridge of Pixar Pier. My tip is to catch the second show as well as its not nearly as crowded as the first. I was just there a few days ago and the second show had MAYBE fifty people waiting for it, at most. Given that it was really cold out and during this crazy weather California has been having, but it was insane to see how few people were there.
Imo, this show outweighs Fantasmic and if you have to pick between fireworks, Fantasmic or this, go with World of Color. You wont regret it. Its like nothing else youve ever seen before. They utilize the ferris wheel, the lighting on Incredicoaster, the lamps surrounding you. Theres fire, theres pretty lights, theres good music, all your favorite movies are shown. Theres everything. The new show theyve done for the 100th might be their best, though their 60th anniversary show was really well done too. Kids might prefer Fantasmic more because of the princesses and princes that show up, but theyll still enjoy WoC when they see movies they love projected.
