The folks at Disneyland recently invited us to check out the world premiere of its new World of Color- Celebrate! show at Disney California Adventure Park. As part of Disneyland’s 60th anniversary this new show (Celebrate! replaces the original show that has been running since 2010) tells the story of Walt Disney, Mickey Mouse, Disney Animation classics, Disneyland and ends with a look towards the future. If you pay special attention you can also find multiple instances of Star Wars and Marvel characters throughout the show.

The new show, which plays nightly in the Paradise Pier section of the theme park, is narrated by, Neil Patrick Harris. Who, as it turns out, is a huge Disney fanatic. Of course the above gallery just doesn’t do the show justice, for it is one of those things you really have to experience in person. The 1,200 dancing fountains, combined with the beautiful musical score, flaming fireballs all come together to tell a pretty spectacular immersive story. (Interesting tidbit, if you blow up fireballs, you end up with these insane smoke circle, see gallery below)
