The World of Color – Winter Dreams delivers Disney magic in a big way. Hosted by Olaf the Snowman, the show is a masterpiece of cinematic presentation and technical know-how.
Compiled from winter scenes of Disney animations including ice skating by Mickey and Minnie and Bambi’s first experience with a frozen lake. Winter Dreams also has original animation.
Its best moments come from a 2-dimensional Olaf, and a Toy Story reinterpretation of the Nutcracker, wherein the aliens who worshipped the claw dance just like the mushrooms in Fantasia until Rex gets involved, and where Jessie dances with Woody in a repetitive and still extremely comical way.
More serious moments are highlighted by the show-stopper Let It Go by Elsa from Frozen.
These moments alone would have been worth going to the show for. However, the absolute pinnacle of the show is the creation of snowflakes that are at least a foot in diameter. (They may be larger, but I couldn’t get close enough to tell.)
Watching the snowflakes come out of Christmas presents gives me the same feeling that people who saw Abraham Lincoln come to life in 1964 must’ve felt. This is what Disney does second best. It gets technology to become something more. (First best is that it gets people to be happier – employees and guests alike.)
You can get Fast Pass tickets to the World of Color near Grizzly River Run until they run out, or you can go the better route and get them with the purchase of a meal. The Wine Country Trattoria and Ariel’s Grotto both offer options, but if you want to do it in real style, eat at the Carthay Circle Restaurant.
Reservations can be made by calling 714-781-Dine up to 60 days in advance. There are also places around Paradise Bay that offer World of Color viewing, but it is best to have a ticket.
