Also, Car's Land will be added to the park featuring a Test Track (Epcot) type dark ride/racer called "Radiator Spring Racers" (one of the most expensive attraction ever built at a price of over $200 million) The Golden State area will see the addition of several new restaurants and one more possible attraction.

It is a combination of "luminata" which is a Mexican holiday tradition of candles inside paper bags and "aria" which is a type of music.

I recognize the melody of this! They use it for the castle lighting ceremony now!

Also, Golden Dreams will be replace by "The Little Mermaid: Under The Sea Adventure" a ride similar to Epcot's "The Seas With Nemo and Friends). The make over is already well under way with the building of the "Toy Story Mania" interactive dark ride and is said to be complete in 2009.

the thing I like best about fireworks is when the smoke gets dyed dozens of different colors.

Too much smoke is the generally accepted reason for it closing. I would also point at lack of popularity. It's a holiday show, so it isn't really "canceled". It had its run and when the holidays rolled around again, it simply wasn't renewed. I did enjoy the main title "Shine" and I'm happy they included it in Disneyland's holiday festivities this year. It's a nice song.

Yes. Lots.

This Holiday season I dont see that happening on the count of the lake being empty and the holiday season has already started, but if your talking 2009 then possibly, It would make sense for them to do that since they will have a firework show already, lets hope!!

Disney's firework shows are always so splendidly choreographed. I shivered remembering past shows I've seen with my family. Thanks for sharing the magic.

yes it will be similar to main street, but a lot shorter of course and themed to Los Angeles during the 1920's complete with a red trolly car. The end, replacing the sun fountain will be a model of Carthay Circle Theater wich will house a modern version of The Walt Disney Story

The new show at DCA will be called Wonderful World of Color permiering March 2009 it will have "dancing fountains" similar to the Bellagio's but of course smaller in scale but just as klpeekl2000 said they will be more advanced and will be nothing related to Luminaria the show is like a journey through stories of the many disney charaters, if you go to DCA right now you will see that the Lagoon or lake is empty and they are already beginning work for the upcoming show it will be AWESOME

Yes.

that's a pretty good show

I do agree but you have to remember that this came before illuminations. For all we know, Illuminations could have been based on Luminaria and might have been an improved version.

I'm just glad ParkHopper posted this. Otherwise, I'd have never seen it.

The third park has been shelved as far as I know. The recient plans for a condo complex by the city of Anaheim has been place in the spot where the third park is supposed to go.

Oh yes and you did a superb job with the video. Mine never come out this well. I tend to zoom too much and it makes people ill when they watch it ;o)

I like the lights at the end on the sun wheel and screamin, they should have kept that and used it in World of Color, or at least a better version like the lasers they use for the Troncore.

I am a big theme park fan.

I have not heard anything about this since 2001. After DCA failed to bring in the crowds they put the thrid gate on indeffinate hold.

now that new nightime is called walt disney world of colour is coming in march 2010 that i cant wait see the new show woowoow. disneyland resort will get multi park and resort hotel

Wow choreographed fireworks

wow i never knew about this show :( and i was a annual passholder its ok but cant wait for world of color supreme project i think 20 k projectors and massive asome water lights and fireworks display cant wait :)

thanks for the vid, but too bad you can't see the "candles" floating in paradise bay from the angle you've shot the show. i think i saw one of my cards in the video sequence!

It ran in 2001.

also i have hear walt disney world giong to have 5 teme park. if you love disney so much go disney cruisne line is disney ship.

Luminaria was only performed for one season, due to high levels of smoke from the pyro used. Unfortunately, the wind would blow it in the direction of Grizzly River Run and the Grand Californian... and would stay there. There were times where I would be coming down the mountain after we clear out Grizzly and I couldn't even see my hand in front of my face. Needless to say, Grand Californian Guests did NOT like it.

Disney is still fighting for the land. Anaheim residents will vote in 2008 whether to allow the condos to be built or to use it for turist reasons, not necesarily by the Walt Disney Co. The "Disney's World of Color" will premier in December 2008 as part of a $1.5 billion make over of DCA that the Company is more focused on. The Make over inclued the comple remaking of Sunshine Plaza, and retheming of Paradise Pier.

are you sure? I thought Luminaria debuted in Winter 2001 and Illuminations: Reflections on Earth debuted in 1999, as part of the millenium celebration

The Snowfalls show at Disneyland is actually a sequel...

I liked the show, but I do agree about the smoke.

The original Disneyland

very nice show but it was short because of smoke

great can you more video please and you need tape about new disney park hong kong disneyland.

Imagine Pittsburgh 248 Saturday, September 30, 2006

Do You no they use the music from the show for the Castle lighting Shows at Disneyland for the Holidays but this show might come back because the fireworks are from the old one Disneyland used now they have new tech and with the bellagio fountains going in well have to wait and see

hmm it looks like they tried to imitate Illuminations...but they didn't account how small the lagoon is or the smoke control...it was a good try because the music is awesome...but like Light Magic I bet it looked better on paper than what happened

so you like disneyland so much? because i heard rumore that disneyland going to texas did you think might come? is true or false

posted my last comment before the video was finished do they still have that effect a glitter on the coaster a Mickeys Fun Wheel or did they take all it down after renovation :) i like that effect :)

why don't I remember this?

Hahaha I think you got the point across to me a while ago. Considering the show they released not to long ago (Which I dislike very much) It proves that they have money. Just the fact that they re-did a while pyrotechnic show... Proves that...

very ture!

ok thanks

It might have debuted at the end of 99 but still, by then Luminaria had to have been finished in the development process so I doubt it was a copy of illuminations.

is luminaria the name of the show or are you just describing the lights that the show has?

One of the rarest videos of a California Adventure show/attraction. I never even got to see this. It is what I call a remnant of the original WESTCOT plans.

so you are big disney park fan what your favorites disney park?

Who knows if they're related. either way, Luminaria is long gone.

wow did you go disneyland everyweekend?

Man this is back in the day when Disney actually had money :/

Disneyland

toy story mania is opening summer 2008 not 2009 i cant wait to go for ride! and they said dca a new name if they drop plan a rename dca will same name a long time long live disneyland !!!!

wow in your videos is tokyo disneyland you'e had gone there many times how many????

Oops... "Wonderful World of Color"'s premiere might be a mistake. I'll have to check on that again, but it'll be in the style of the water show at the Bellagio in Las Vegas.

I highly doubt Illuminations was a copy of Lumanaria. Illumniations has been around every since 1996; it debuted as a part of WDW's 25th Anniversary. Besides, both shows have COMPLETELY different concepts.

I love this vid but, one more week and a day left till WORLD OF COLOR DEBUTS!!!!! :D

Back when the Sun Wheel was still the Sun Wheel. :-)

did you have more disney park video ?

but disneyland is giong have a 3rd theme park and begin used clone from walt disney world ride and show

oopse just noticed the mistakes no the world of color doesn't premier on march 2009 they wont be done with the lagoon till september then they will run test till spring of 2010 when they will first be premiering the show

they got the fountains and the lights if they really wanted to they could really bring back this show in a whole new way

are you live near disneyland or disneyworld?

I don't think Disney will build another American theme park outside of Florida or Califronia.

is still there today for 5 years?

no the world of color doesn't premier on march 2009 they wont be done with the lagoon till september then they we run test all the way till the spring of 2010

DCA has been opened every day that DL is. Why close it?

when this luminaria show run? what year you went?

mr parkhopper WHERE YOU GET ALL DISNEY PARK VIDEO you been all disney park?

how long luminaria show run? is durning holiday?

No No No not the new show thats coming Luminaira might come back for the holidays it just a rumor but the Lumiaira music for Shie is the Lighting music for the Castle

Dude, chill. You're the one that have no idea what you're talking about. The new show will be called Disney's World of Color and it will probably premier by the end of 2008.

do you have recorder braviseamo isof tokyo disney sea ?

Let's hope they don't screw up haha

when this luminaria show run ?

and how far from your home to disneyland?

The graphics on the screens near the beginning are from ones that kids drew in the Christmas Card center (located in the San Francisco buildings) from that very day. They would change everyday with the new batch of cards drawn each day. I do miss doing Guest Control for this show. While flawed (with the smoke), I thik it did bring out the spirit of the holiday season. Watch for the "Wonderful World of Color" show to premiere at DCA in 2008.

are you big fan of disney park? you need to go hong kong disney resort

All but Hong Kong.

It was better used in the Christmas ceremony....

what is luminaria show means?

is this water

I have several requests ahead of you but I will get to it. I promise.

can you post braviseamo please :-)

great music just planned poorly this would be cool for WOC Christmas version :)

why since actroid arriver i want to make disneyland resort more park and hotel beacuse i want bigger and if you look goolge earth still landlock for 3rd park by many house and buliding there will be kick out area

Still alot. :P

i really wish i could have seen this. i just love it!

This certainly wasn't a *bad* show but it's very exemplary of what was wrong with Disney's California Adventure when it opened. It feels very "half-baked" and very obviously done on a budget, and while the attempt may be admirable, the whole things comes across as "that's the best Disney could do?" Fortunately, 11 years (and $1.1 billion) later we have a rather incredible second gate at the Anaheim resort, which features one of the best Nighttime water and light shows in the world.

I feel like I'm the only one who LOVED Luminaria. :D

I think I've made six trips to Tokyo and I visited the Tokyo Disney resort during each one.

I'll get there someday.

Very true. lol

dued you need to go hong kong disneyland and you went ALL DISNEY PARK who you are a big disney fan or you work at disney? sorry mam i just belive you went all disneyland.

This was a great show with amazing music. Poorly planned as far as fireworks, but the show and its message work really well. The good news is, Steven Davison (creator of WoC and Luminaria) has said he is interesting in developing Luminaria 2.0 using the WoC technology. Let's hope+pray that this comes true - it would make an awesome holiday version of WoC.

Isnt the music used for the Castle Lighting Ceremony ?

I for one really loved this show. It had a huge heart and the soundtrack was simply gorgeous (seems like whoever decided to use the score for the castle lighting ceremonies agrees with me). It could have been a huge success with some tweaking, but that would have been difficult to do, especially considering the "I refuse to admit anything from DCA is successful or enjoyable" mentality among fans at the time. As much as I do enjoy World of Color, I can't help but feel it lacks the heart of Lumi

Such a disappointment that they did the show for one year.

Luminaria = A COMPLETE MESS!! I don't care what anybody says...lol

She sounds like shes trying To copy the song She Does on main street. I dont think it fits it. This show Mustn't have been that good of a show. I never knew this happened.

umm this show sucked, Disney has money now, that's why they're redoing practically the whole park, and just you wait till they premiere the new lagoon show.
